Planning and booking our bucket list trip through Kimkim was so easy. Thank you, Amanda, for answering our questions with knowledge, compassion, and grace!

We started our trip in late September and did run into some late monsoon season rain that made trekking in some place difficult. Guide Bire's experience, energy, and gentle encouragement got us through some tough days and made it all worth it (seriously, give that man a raise!). Porter Tez was so attentive and kind. They're a great team! Trip highlights were the beautiful remote villages of Shyala, Samagaun, and Samdo. Thank you Kimkim!

Hotel Review
Hotel Manaslu
Kathmandu

The hotel was in a great location, had incredibly friendly and attentive staff, and good services. The rooms were clean but did have a musty smell (Kathmandu is so humid!), which is difficult if you're sensitive to that sort of thing.

Hey Stephanie,

Thanks for the outstanding review and personal commendation! I must mention the rest of our team behind the scenes who all contribute to the preparation and running of our trips, making those of us on the front line look very good. Bire is certainly a strong and kind soul and I'm so glad to hear that he and the crew had such an impact on your trek.

I look forward to hosting you back in Nepal for your next trekking adventure! :)

Cheers,
Amanda
