EBC Plus Trek I chose Kamzang Journeys to take me to Everest Base Camp and through Cho La and Renjo La passes in December 2023. Kim was accommodating with organising a suitable itinerary and setting me up for the trip, clarifying questions promptly and serving as a much-appreciated point of contact. All staff I interacted with were professional and ensured a seamless journey from arrival to departure. I was particularly impressed with Nuru, who welcomed me into Kathmandu and made me feel comfortable. Thanks, Nuru! The Trek itself was spectacular, having no problems with altitude sickness due to the responsible approach to acclimatisation that Kamzang enforced. While the Trek was difficult at times, I never felt overextended and appreciated some slightly alternative routes and time to explore on my own with extra energy in the tank. Kamzang can adapt their itineraries to your needs with ease. What I enjoyed most was my time with my guide, Futashi and porter Sujan. Considering it was not peak season when I visited, I had the trails primarily to myself, building a connection with them, gaining insight into the region and reflecting upon the complex dynamic between tourism, tradition and macro environmental concerns while also having a good laugh. I went for quiet time and the mountains (which I got) but I remember the people most. There’s a lot on offer outside the destinations on your Trek, and Kamzang can help guide you to them!

The perfect basecamp trip Throughly well organised by experienced and knowledgeable guides. High passes route provides excellent and suitably challenging treks with sherpa cultural encounters as a bonus. Highly recommended!

Amazing experience I trekked with Kim’s team to EBC in November 2023 with a private guide and it was an amazing experience that I would highly recommend. Kim has been working with her team for many years and it shows. They work seamlessly together and really take care of their clients. You always feel safe and cared for, surrounded by people who have spent extensive time trekking in the Himalayas. My husband and I hiked to Everest Base Camp with our Sherpa Phutashi and I would highly recommend him. Not only did we always feel safe and cared for we truly enjoyed the time we spent together. It is important to like your guide if you are going to be trekking together for two weeks and I can say we were sad to have to say goodbye. The mountains are beautiful and the wonderful people we met along the way made this experience even better. Kim and her team are great at what they do and I would not hesitate to book with them again for our next adventure.

Everest High Passes Did this trek with my daughter Nov.-Dec. 2023 and am inspired to write my first ever online review. This was a totally terrific trip. Kim and Lhakpa (owners) and their entire team are 10/10. Well organized, very challenging, but always fun. So much positive energy. The scenery is way beyond the capacity of pictures to portray. The best acclimatization schedule I have ever experienced. I want to especially recognize the consistent trekker centered focus. Health considerations required two helicopter evacuations. These were efficiently organized (good outcomes) with the health of the trecker the absolute first priority. I really appreciated knowing that if I had difficulties the Kamzang team would take care of me.

Mustang Trek 2023 A wonderful adventure and journey to one of the most remote and beautiful (culturally and geographically) places on earth. I had an amazing time, and every moment of every day was special. Kamzang Journeys (with Kim & Lhakpa at the helm) made the trip incredible...with deep and rich 'local-knowledge', contacts, meticulous planning and attention to detail.

Mustang Circuit A unique 3-week exposure to remarkable culture and landscape. A rare chance to observe Mustang as it opens up to the 21st Century after centuries of isolation.

There is always another route Last October I was with a small group trekking to Upper Dolpo in western Nepal with Kim and Lhakpa, the owners and number 1 trekking guides of the trekking company Kamzang. All was going smoothly as we hiked down into the magical village of Ringmo, home to the opaque, turquoise Phoksumdo Lake. Our first stop was to visit Kim's good friend Mingmo who is known to be the best weaver in Upper Dolpo. After buying a few rugs we headed to our campsite for 2 nights. It was hot and dry so most of us went for a wash in the river coming off the sacred lake. Later that day we were told that a cyclonic weather change from the Bay of Bengal was going to hit us in 2 days time. This seemed hard to believe as it was so warm but sure enough overnight the weather dropped dramatically, it snowed and continued to rain for 5 days. Everyday the kamzang staff tried to find a way for us to get over the pass into the Forrest camp. However, the weather just got worse with avalanches cutting off paths and trees and rocks falling due to the amount of rain. In true Kamzang style Lhakpa knew the owner of the tea house and was able to get us out of our sinking tents and into a nice dry room (which the company paid for). In the following days were saw helicopters continuously flying into Upper dolpo rescuing trekkers who had got stuck on the otherside of the pass and could not get back. After many hours discussing our options Kim and Lhakpa came up with an exploratory trek out of Ringmo and back to Nepalgunji. This alternate route was an absolute highlight. We travelled on trails that even Lhakpa and Kim hadn't walked. It was a truly wonderful experience which could have easily ended in disaster. The reason i trek with Kamzang (this was my 7th or 8th trek with the company) is that they always put their clients safety first. Most of the trekking companies flew out of the region and cut their clients trek short but Kim and Lhakpa will always find another route.

Review of the Dolpo trek from Margriet and Age We made a trip with Kamzang Journeys to the Dolpo region in Nepal. We had to change our plans on the go because of the weather. Everything was perfectly organized with friendly and professional guides!

Excelent Most chalanging but verry good , everyting was well organized so no complains , would recommend this trip to anyone who is interested in a bit off adventure

My 7th Trek (in 13 years) with this company ... they are superb! I have just - last week - completed the Upper Mustang trek with Kim and Crew and, once again, I have had an absolutely superb experience. This is such a well organised and well run company with committed staff who have been with them for years. This was my 7th trek (over 13 years) and it is like visiting family. I was originally attracted to the idea of a female trek leader and I think it does add a unique touch ... two man tents as standard for single occupancy (and no single supplement). Couples get 'triple' tents. The yellow 'festival tent' as dining hall and lounge (as featured in the photo listings) is a wonderful resource which is a relaxation hub, social centre, and source of wonderful food (and never ending hot drinks and snacks). They research and use really good routes and you get away from the heavily trafficked tourist areas and you get to meet the locals. I really can't fault them.
