Our group of four had a great time on our Everest Base Camp Trek through Trekking Planner. Despite some unexpected bad weather at the start of our trip, Dipak's team was constantly adapting to find new solutions for us to make sure we still made it to base camp before our flights home. Once we did make it to the beginning of the trek in Lukla, we really appreciated the flexiblity that our guide Nirmal had in how to tailor the trek to our shorter timeframe. I wouldn't say doing a 12-day trek in 9 days was easy, but the team from Trekking Planner did everything in their power to make it as smooth and enjoyable as possible. Great accomodations and food along the entire way and a stellar guide and team of porters, I'd highly recommend this trekking company.
Dear Trekking Planer,my dad and me had a really good time while our base camp trip. Everthink was perfect!The organization of the company trekking planer Nepal was excellent. Dipak the boss of the company is such a friendly and good guy. You can feel that he likes the best for all of his customers that they can enjoy there trip.Our guide , Gayljen, was a really professional guide. He has a lot of know how about the economic and the culture of Nepal. He did a great job and we were really lucky to be with him, thank you for that good time bro !We wish your company the best. Hope we will see us again.
I could sit here and write for hours about the amazing time I had with Dipak and his team but Nepal is truly something that has to be experienced for yourself. Buy the ticket, enjoy the ride.
Communication with Dipak was fantastic - he was quick to reply to all questions and was accommodating of our requests, be they around customizing the trek or payments. Had a great time with Suneal, the guide and Buddha, the porter. They were both very considerate, watchful and always made efforts to ensure our comfort.
Dipak was thoughtful and customer-orient from the onset. He advised on training plan, schedule customisations, and gear/equipment in very quick email comms. Suneel, the guide on the EBC climb, was supportive and consistently looked after welfare. He was the perfect balance of caution, competition, and challenge. I thoroughly enjoyed climbing and descending with him as companion (alongside the hundred yaks).
