I joined 14-day trekking trip solo in April 2025 for EBC with Gokyo lakes. This tour is amazingly good and well-organised. Both Sonam, the guide and porter, are very helpful during the whole trip, especially the guide Sonam took many beautiful photos for me, he is a professional photographer! I highly recommended for everyone to join trekking planner for your trip in Nepal. I love Nepal! I definitely will come back and join other trekking tours with trekking planner.

An Amazing trip thanks to Sital Dahkal and his porter Gotem. 16 days of absolute beauty and culture. Thanks again.

Trekking to Everest basecamp was truely a one of a lifetime experiance! Thanks to Nepal Trekking Planner we were well taken care of from when we first arrived to Kathmandu until we flew back home again. The trekking was well planned and organized, accomodations were booked in forehand and the agency picked us up and dropped us off at the airports. When our domestic flight from Kathmandu to the Everest-region was cancelled the agency managed to get us seats in a helicopter to a reasonable price. Specially our guide during the trekking, Dibash, made our stay unforgetable. We always felt safe, wellinformed and he gave us good advice on how to cope with the high altitude. We had some good laughs together and Dibash is now a close friend to our family. So, if you’re planning to go to Nepal for trekking and are looking for an agency and guide, we highly recomend Nepal Trekking Planner and Dibash as guide.

We recently went on a multi-day tour as a family of five and were fortunate to be paired with Dibash (guide) and Shiva (driver) — both of whom delivered absolutely outstanding service.

Dibash went above and beyond throughout our 4–5 days with him. His service was warm, attentive, and thoughtful — we truly felt like we were treated with royalty-level care. Shiva was equally impressive as a driver: smooth, professional, and very familiar with the routes. Both of them were also kind enough to take some beautiful family photos for us on their own initiative — a gesture we deeply appreciated (though of course, future guests should not treat them as personal photographers!).
This amazing duo is the main reason I’m giving a 5-star rating — they made our journey feel safe, special, and memorable. I highly recommend both of them.

However, a big area of improvement is the accommodation arranged by the tour agent. We were unhappy with all the hotels provided throughout the journey except Kathmandu — lacked heating, had cracked toilets, and showers had no warm water during this harsh winter trip. This was very disappointing and made parts of the trip uncomfortable. I spotted better-looking accommodations along the way and wondered why those were not chosen.

We were especially unhappy with the hotel initially booked for us in Pokhara. Thankfully, I was allowed to switch to a hotel of my choice, which made the rest of my stay there much better.

To be clear: the accommodation decisions were made by the travel agency, not by Dibash or Shiva, and should not reflect on their excellent service.

On another note,I truly appreciate the warm welcome when I reached Kathmandu as well as the smooth and well-organized airport and hotel transfers, both in Kathmandu & Pokhara — it was efficient and seamless.

With better accommodation choices, this trip would have been nearly perfect. But thanks to Dibash and Shiva, we still brought home great memories.

Absolutely great trek! We followed the typical EBC trek, but also added the Cho La pass and Gokyo lakes. Dibash is a great guide and made the journey smooth and successful. He is attentive, poised, responsive, and thorough. Dibash is knowledgeable about the area and connected with the community and resources. So thankful for him and his team. Absolutely no complaints— highly recommend!

Annapurna Base Camp Trekking-15 Days

Have great experience starting from i send email to Dipak. He response very fast and answer every questions one by one. He is not only taking care our trip but also help to currency exchange and anything you need in Nepal. When we have some change and request during the trip, Dipak can always fulfil our needs.

The teams are helpful and friendly all the time.
Our Guide - Sonam, mutual and clam person. He always pay attention to all of us. When we arrived ABC, 2 of us not feeling good. Sonam keep monitoring the situation and giving advice how to handle the altitude sickness. Sonam have rich knowledge about Nepal and the whole mountain. We learn a lot from him. And when we ask how long it take from point A to point B. Sonam can always give accurate estimation. He say 2.5 hrs... it is ~2.5 hrs. Magic~~

Our assistant guide - Pradeep, energetic and funny person. We don't need to talk to him, he already know what we need. Since our team walk in different speed, he always keep an eyes on us and walk with the last group. One night, there are two BIG Cockroach in our room, Pradeep help us to move it from room to outdoor area. He didn't kill the cockroach. Hero~~

We always playing cards and chill at dining area, they staying with us at dining area. They need to take their own luggage and even first aids or additional things for us even we ask them to take more rest but they still with us.

Need to give a big thanks for our porters. one of our porter not feeling good during the trip but he still need to carry our luggage. I don't think i can carry my stuffs for trekking but they need to take 20KG or more for a day....Respect~~~

When we come back to Nepal trekking next time, Sonam and Pradeep will be our 1st choice. And i recommend them to everyone

The arrangement from Trekking Planner is just amazing… our group (5 people) was well taken care since the arrival in airport until the last day, no matter in town or on mountain. The tour/ welcome & farewell dinner / transportation in between are all well managed….and it is big surprise that even medals are prepared for each of us after completing the whole trek.

A big shoutout to our trekking team: Sonam (Main guide), Pradeep(Assistant Guide) and porters…they are so nice and helpful, making our 10 days trekking so enjoyable.
Sonam is very experienced and mature, very accurate in trekking time prediction XD, and always take care of our needs at all time (meal, accommodation etc). I strongly appreciate his honesty and sharing to us (as a very devout Buddhist).
Meanwhile Pradeep is a very funny and energetic young man. He is hero one night as he proactively help us to catch the cockroach in our room with his hands !

We built great friendships over these two weeks, which is why we enjoyed the trip so much. We all fell in love with Nepal and will definitely return! And we strongly recommend Trekking Planner, Sonam and Pradeep!

Amazing hiking and Nepal trekking planner took care of us from start to finish.
Dibash was our guide and he became a close friend who really enhanced the experience. We felt 100% safe and he did everything possible to focus on the experience and avoid hassle.
Bergen and Nepal was a fantastic experience and I can warmly recommend Nepal trekking planner and Dibash if you want to implement EBC trek.
