Linda, it was a pleasure to design your trip and execute it too. Had some nervous moments, but you are such a wonderful traveler - you provide feedback early, and show appreciation when issues get resolved. This is much much appreciated.
Am sure to transfer the wonderful feedback to Sherab. He is a gem!

Vinitha, it was an absolute pleasure to design this trip for you, and go through the process - chatting withing KimKim - getting into a whatsapp video chat to learn about interests deeper, and then design the trip and eventually execute it. As you said, some changes were required last minute, but was not something unmanageable..
Rabin is an exceptional guide, and we totally recognise it - no wonder he has been with us for the longest time. we are sure to transfer this feedback to him.

Rhona, I am so happy it did finally happen. We had all waited so long for the trip to finally take place. Thanks for being so adjustable and so patient.
I will definitely transfer this wonderful review to my team and to Namaboudha Resort, and nothing would have happened without them and their excellent attention to detail and service.
I am so sorry I did not get to meet you personally. I would have loved that!
Until next time.

Yogesh has been very good and helpful, he made my whole trip. Everything went exactly as in the itinerary, except for a minor mistake on Temple Tree Hotel check out and pick up time. The hotel staff told me the wrong time which was one and half hour earlier than the arranged. The last day photograph tour was the best, far beyond my exception. The guide was a super kind and knowledgeable gentleman. He was the best during this trip.
Overall, great experience. I will surely consider Social Tour next time in Nepal.

Zhen, thanks for the wonderful review and apologies for the miscommunication in the hotel in Pokhara. They constantly change staff and sometimes communication between the teams is not always perfect.
I will definitely let Yogesh know how good you felt under his care. He has recently joined the company and is already a great asset in preparing all the logistics for the trip.
Thanks for taking the time, and thanks for the review. See you soon again in Nepal!

Sarah, many thanks for this detailed review. Much appreciated and the little tips along the way are going to be really useful for future travellers as well.
Apologies that the trekking was not as expected. We worked on anticipation of an average family, but my god, the kids were good trekkers and hiked fast. A few tweaks could have improved it greatly am sure. Lesson learnt!
Hope we see you in Nepal again, for a bigger mountain journey!

Our contact in Nepal, Anura was wonderful. She was extremely organized & efficient. Her expert planning covered every single detail of our trip.
Our guide, Jangbu was extremely knowledgeable & very attentive to our individual needs.

Terri, thanks for taking the time to write up this review. I am sure to pass on the review to both Anura and Jangbu, who really made the fine details all happen, beyond the designing of the trip. I am so glad you appreciate it.
Hope we will see you in our neck of the woods again sometime!

This trip was amazing!!
Raj and Anura were excellent help prior to trip. Anura very patient with all of my questions!
Jangbu, Anura, Robin, and the entire Social Tour’s team were terrific during the trip. Anura took us to two really delicious restaurants and made us feel very comfortable.
Well organized!
Very good value.
Jangbu Sherpa was excellent guide for trekking. Modified the trip as needed for me. Wise and professional, warm and caring. Exactly the kind of person I need to guide me! Our porter was just terrific as well.
Would definitely recommend Kimkim and Social Tours.

Liz, it was an absolute joy to design your trip to Nepal with Terri. Also very glad you appreciate the preparation and details which Anura worked into the trip. Good that Jangbu was also a good match to the two of you.
Was a bit worried when the modifications of the trek was required, but glad it all worked out. Jangbu is excellent for that, and we were also very happy when he had time for lead your trek!

Valerie, thanks a ton for your review. Glad it all went well, even though there were small changes required. Quite common in Nepal to be able to make last minute fine tuning of trips, and am glad it went on ok. Great suggestion on the giving the direct contacts of the guides, so you can communicate directly. Will start implementing that for sure.

It was great to have a personalised tour and the fact they ensured I was able to access it by providing a Nepalese Sign Language Interpreter. I enjoyed my time in Bhaktpur the most.

Thanks Drisana for the lovely review.. we were so stoked to handle your trip and I am so glad it went well and you enjoyed Bhaktapur so much. Hopefully we shall see you in Nepal again..

Am sure to send this review for the entire team to read, as without everyone working together, it would never have happened as we envisaged it to be.

Supported by a special team with Raj and Anura, who provided me with information from the booking of the trip, I was received in Kathamandu with a greeting dinner and an afternoon where I got all the explanation and what my responsibilities are during the 19-day trek . Especially because I am no longer one of the youngest (69 years), Raj has gone into great depths about pulling at high altitudes. The... Read more

Paul, it was a real pleasure to design and conduct this trip for you, and me and Anura and the rest of the team took great joy in seeing your enthusiasm, and your easy going nature.
I am sorry that altitude made it a bit more complicated up in the mountains, but glad that you adjusted to it, and re-designed the itinerary up in the field and fit it to your requirements.
Flexibility is the essence of travel, in our opinion, and that makes great experiences and I am glad it did for you!
Thanks and hopefully we will see you again in the Nepal mountains!
