Kami was our guide for a three week Base Camp trek and was even better than I could have imagined. Kami is extremely knowledgable about the region, knows everyone on the trails and in the lodges, and gives his clients space to explore while still making sure everyone is safe. Kami wasn't just our guide, he was part of the group and would hang out or play cards with us at night. And when we had a medical situation, Kami quickly found a solution while keeping everyone calm. I can't recommend Kami enough - the perfect guide.

I have been lucky enough to have Kami as my guide twice. Once was with my father and two brothers crossing over the 3 passes on our way to Everest Base Camp in May 2013. The other was a solo summit of Island Peak in April 2014. I cant say enough good things about him. His knowledge of the area and the people meant we never felt like strangers in the villages we passed through. And his technical skills meant we could handle any situation that arose. He was able to cater our trek to our goals and make adjustments as needed on the trail. As for my summit of Island Peak, this was my first attempt out mountaineering having spent my previous visits to Nepal trekking. Kami's climbing experience, his ability to teach me the skills needed to climb safely and his patience made all the difference to my summit being a success. His passion to do all he could for us and to learn what he could improve on is without question. If you are lucky enough to have Kami as your guide you are in good hands.

Kami was great, he took care of everything, was very enthusiastic, and lots of fun. Our 3 week trip went very smoothly. We had a unique itinerary and schedule to focus on photography and Kami did a great job tailoring the trip to accommodate our endless requests. Thanks again!

I was flying to Nepal in October 2013, and through speaking with my seat neighbors got the contact information of Kami. Having been to Nepal many times, myself, I felt as though I would recommend to my father and friend that we forgo hiring a guide on our Everst Basecamp trek. In addition to my fluency in Nepali, I had spent several years working and conducting research in the furthers NW district of Humla. I felt like we could navigate the trails and lodges and passes ourselves. But, I am ineffably grateful that we contacted Kami, and he was free. He was the kindest, most knowledgable guide we could have asked for. He got us beds in all-booked up lodges, he knew everyone we passed on the trail, and his knowledge of the Khumbu region - his home - was spectacular and forthcoming. In addition, he carried a stellar camera and took some of the most beautiful shots from our entire trip. I highly recommend him!

Kami was a wonderful guide, very experienced but also approachable. He worked well with our porters and us ensuring that he motivated us but also listened to our concerns. I would pick kami every time!
