Dipendra (Guide) and Prakash (Porter) were very friendly and helpful from the start of the trek. They went out of their way to made me feel safe and also attended to my every request no matter how inconvenient it was. They introduced me to the culture here in Nepal which is what I wanted from my companions during this trek. I recommend Trekking Planner for anyone looking a trip planned from start to finish. Thank you Dipak for making this trip happen!

We had a great time in the Everest region. Our guide Dipendra from Trekking planner helped us, motivated us and gave us information about the trip. When we had some problems with the cold or little pains hé helped us. We had a lot of fun and will never forget this trip.

We have been enjoying a wonderful 10 day trek to Ama Dablam base camp starting with a warm welcome by our guide Kishor at Kathmandu airport and next day we’ve been flying by helicopter to Surke where we started our trek in direction EBC with our guide and Porter Tunis. Our guide was so experienced to realise that our acclimatisation was not fast enough and therefore we adjusted our tour to our capabilities. Still the whole tour including ADBC and the way back via Khumjung was an unforgettable experience professionally organised by Trekking Planner, Kathmandu. Special thanks to Rusha Shrestha 🙏

We started our adventure in Kathmandu. We were supposed to fly from Kathmandu to Lukla but due to weather conditions we flew to Ramechap instead and waited there.

Almost everyone took a horrible jeep ride to get to Ramechap, but Dipak booked us a flight to get there!! Very efficient and saved us a lot of trouble. Then Sonam, our guide, was amazing !! He was a monk before, and you can notice that he is a humble and wise man, and a good friend as well, not to mention good photographer 😁.

We did the three pass trek, and its an other worldly experience. We stayed in nice teahouses along the way, and Sonam was always helping in every way he could!! It was a hard trek but rewarding and I wouldnt recommend any other company but Trekking Planner. We even got a complimentary massage after the trek😁

Best decision we made during our Nov 2024 EBC trip was letting Trekking Planner plan out our trip.
Everyone was very professional. I felt fortunate to have had Dibash as our lead guide. Dibash and his team ( Pardeep, Pasang, Umesh, Jivan) took good care of us and knew exactly at what phase of our hike what is needed.

There were few challenging days during our hike and Dibash and team handled them patiently and phenomenally well, they kept us motivated and provided great suggestions that helped us finishing the EBC hike successfully.

Special thanks to Deepak too for clear communication throughout our stay in Nepal and coordinating everything.

It is difficult to describe in a few words the beautiful experience on this hike. I thank my guide, Kiran, and my porter, Kisan, for their excellent attention, care, company and warmth at all times. They always respected my pace while walking, and brought fruit and cookies for the road. At each stop they offered me a tea to regain strength. I was able to enjoy the beautiful landscape and learn a lot about the local culture. And stop to take many photos. Observing how people live, and all the effort that it takes to live there, and to maintain the places for travelers, is very impressive.
The meals are delicious and the accommodations are very nice.

There are many stairs on the route. Don't be like me, and train! Likewise, anyone with good physical condition and mental composure can do it.

Keep in mind that, especially the higher you are, sometimes there is an extra charge for the hot shower and the cell phone charge, as well as the wifi. In MBC and ABC you will not be able to take a shower.

From the Kathmandu office they helped me get a sleeping bag, trekking poles and a down jacket, 3 essential things for the trip... It is very cold in MBC and ABC.

I went in mid-November, and I had beautiful, clear mornings to enjoy the views, as it was already starting to get cloudy at noon.

I recommend getting up at 1 AM when you are in ABC and enjoying a starry sky and the impressive Annapurna ️ illuminated by the moon.

Take a notebook to write or draw, or an instrument, or a book, or a chess set, or cards, or whatever you like, for the moments when you are not walking and are in the dining rooms of the lodges. Because the sun sets and it is impossible to be outside!

Thank you Nepal Trekking Planer for this experience. ️

I did the “Ghandruk Trekking: 3 days” tour with two friends. Even that my friend and I we were sick, the guide Achyut Mishra and the Porter were very helpful and patient with us. They made always the best decisions according to our health. We felt really comfortable. The tour is very recommended for beginners and people that do not have so much time in Nepal. The views of the mountains are incredible and you can learn about the Himalayas and Nepal culture with the guide.

We did the 8 day Everest Base Camp Trek with Helicopter return in October. From the minute we first reached out to Trekking Planner, Dipak was responsive, informative, made great suggestions and was so patient with all of our (many!) questions. And once we arrived in Kathmandu, EVERYTHING was taken care of and ran smoothly. From the airport pickup, to the welcome dinner, the hotel, to the flight to Lukla, the helicopter back and getting us to the airport for our flight home, Trekking Planner had everything arranged and we didn’t have to worry about a thing!

As for the trek itself - we were lucky enough to have the wonderful Dibash as our guide and Umis as our porter. Dibash took such good care of us, was knowledgeable, informative, funny and truly made an amazing trek even better. His love for the mountains and the culture was obvious and we thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent with him. If you have a chance, ask him about his magic tricks!! Umis always had a smile on his face and was always up for a good game of cards.

We have nothing but positive things to say about Trekking Planner in general, and Dipak, Dibash and Umis specifically. We’d love to come back and do the Annapurna Circuit!
