Having just finished the Manaslu circuit trek I wanted to recommend Trekking Planner as a fantastic company to go with.
Dipak personalised our itinerary and was constantly flexible to accommodate changes throughout the three weeks we spent in Nepal. As a group of four older clients (57 - 67 yrs) we were very aware it was going to be tough. However our guide Binod was positive and encouraging. He was full of energy and a joy to be with. He communicated clearly the outline of each day and what was important, organising the food and accommodation at the tea houses, as well as being on hand at all times to sort anything we needed. Binod's super power was getting to know us very fast as individuals and as a group. He was able to tell quickly by reading our faces what we needed as we faced some challenging days. We trusted him implicitly as he gently trained us up for the big successful day over the pass (lots of sleep, keep it steady and drink lots of water!) Binod has been amazing! I feel I have made a friend after the hours we have spent together chatting about Nepal and learning so much about his culture. He was a mine of information about so many things. I must not forget to mention our two porters; Thamen and Aitaman, they worked tirelessly to carry our bags, always smiling and cheerful whenever we saw them, as well being really helpful at the tea houses. I have had a fantastic trekking experience. Thank you Binod, Thaman and Aitaman.

Imponerande väl organiserat från att jag landade i Kathmandu. Jag genomförde EBC. Jag kunde luta mig tillbaka och njuta av allt. Jag önskade ansluta mig till en grupp, men när jag kom till kontoret fick jag reda på att det bara var jag. Men det spelade mindre roll. Du kommer träffa massa med andra trekkers. Kanske till och med framtida vänner. Guiden och bäraren var mycket pålitliga och engagerade. Jag spontanbokade lite, så jag visste ej att de förväntar sig 10-15% i dricks. Men de var de värda. Gav den 21,5%. Guiden FT sa att han var min nepalesiska son, men var även som en mamma och pappa, på ett bra sätt. Sa till mig att ta på mig mössa då det snöade, tog fram en näsduk när jag snutit mig, kollade att jag inte glömde något på rummet och tog min väska ifrån mig, när jag var för stolt för tacka ja. FT är ambitiös och jobbar på att lyssna och förbättra sin engelska, vilket är bra. Vi förstod i alla fall varandra tillräckligt bra. Jag hade ej klarat EBC utan dem. Dipak var kanske inte den gladaste nepales jag träffat, men han var pålitlig och gav snabba och tydliga svar. Under invigningsmiddagen träffade Abhishekh som var mycket härlig och gav mig bra råd inför trekken.
Då jag hade problem med höjden kommer jag nästa gång ta Diomax, hitta en smak som gör att jag vill dricka mycket. Spendera mer än 2 dagar på någorlunda hög höjd innan jag vandrar upp. Det här vill jag göra om. Och kommer då kontakta Trekking Planner igen.

I did the Three Passes + EBC trek with Nepal Trekking Planner and it was EPIC. I did it solo with my guide (Sonam) and porter (Umis), and I couldn’t have asked for a better team. Sonam is super kind and taught me a ton about the culture, religion, and beliefs. I won’t share too much about his personal life, but let’s say he seemed extra knowledgeable compared to other guides. He was also a great photographer, which was handy since I did it solo without a group. Umis was a powerhouse and always arrived before me and had my stuff waiting in my room. The entire experience went off without a hitch from the second I arrived at the airport to the moment I left. I was arriving from a long vacation in hot weather, so they helped me get all the gear I needed and included a sleeping bag, warm puffy jacket, trekking poles, and a duffel bag in the price, which was nice. It was my birthday during the trek, and Sonam organized one of the teahouses to bake a mini cake, and Umis played a song on the guitar for me. Such a nice experience! Finally, to help recover from my trek when I got back to Kathmandu , they gave me another special surprise that I wasn’t expecting…but I won’t ruin the surprise for you ;) Overall, I’d highly recommend doing your hike with Nepal Trekking Planner if you want a smooth experience and don’t want to have to worry about any planning.

Just successfully completed an amazing 10 day trek to Everest base camp. It would have been extremely difficult to finish it without the help of our main guide Abhishekh and the rest of the crew along with the sherpas and porters. The amount of concern he had for each of our health was impressive given that we were a group of 9 people. The itinerary from food to accommodation at each stop was also very well planned.

We had the most amazing time! Pasang and his team could not have been better and the trek was incredible. Stunning scenery and nice and quiet routes compared to EBC. Thanks Pasang, Rinji, and the whole team!

The trip was amazing! The owner Dipak helped me organised my trip down to the tiniest detail. Helped me booked domestic flights and hotels when I'm busy overseas prior to my trip. Everything was tailored and the owner is very responsive. The guide Anish and the porter Milan is simply the best and helped me along my way to make my trip comfortable, safe and enjoyable. The whole experience was thoughtful and caring. Would join tours from this company again 10/10.

Tour to the Everest Base Camp with Pasang Sherpa. It was a great experience for me and I can really recommend this tour with him!

Pasang, our guide, was great, very helpful, and friendly. It was a lovely experience with beautiful scenes. Very much recommended.
