While in Kathmandu for a short trip we decided last minute to do a one day hike within the Kathmandu area. I sent out a few requests to different trekking companies but Dipak was very quick to response and had one of the most reasonable prices. Dipak organized a great one day hike up from Nagarkot to Changunarayan. The walking is easy with gradual downhill and fairly leveled path. It will take about 4 hrs to reach Changunarayan.

Narayan, our guide was very knowledgable and had a good sense of humor.

It was a perfect day to get out of the noise and pollution of Kathmandu.

Dipak also arranged a last minute bungy jump excursion for the following day. He met me at the restaurant we were eating supper to sign forms and make sure I got registered and then met me at 5:45 am the next morning to make sure I got to the correct location. Awesome customer service.

"Dipak Lamichhane and his team at "Trekking Planner" are one of the main reasons Nepal was such an amazing trip. A professional team of experienced trekkers and guides that not only planned our activities but also connections, transfers and accomodation. Dipak and his team really took away the hassle of a short trip by utilising our time and making it affordable. I will certainly be using them again when I next come to Nepal."

Dipak and Suman. The two of you were phenomenal and were what made this experience so wonderful. You treated us like family and made us feel welcome and secure at all times. Suman, our guide told us everything we could possibly want to know about the history, culture, nature and religions of Nepal. He became a good friend and was wonderfully accommodating. Dipak was attentive and made sure that we always had everything we needed, he went the extra mile every time and gave us a true experience of Nepal both in Kathmandu and whilst we were trekking and on Safari. The trek itself was a an amazing experience and upon arriving at Annapurna base camp, I was completely overwhelmed by the beauty of the Himalayas. I cannot recommend these guys strongly enough and I will definitely be returning one day.

I am a writer for several travel magazines around the globle and I happened upon Dipak and his small trekking company while on a writing assignment in Nepal. I was extremely impressed in his services so decided to write about him. This is what I wrote for several publications......

Our tribute this week honors a Nepalese gentleman by the name of Dipak Lamichhane-Executive Team Leader and founder of Nepal Trekking Planner. A small family company of qualified and very experienced guides who plan and conduct personalized tours for people wishing to Trek the Himalayan region. Dipak’s aim is to make each guest’s trip personal, meaningful and authentic. So if it’s a route that is slow, short & easy or something that is a little more tough & challenging, Dipak & his team have just the trek for you and your friends. He makes tailor-made trips for the single traveler or for groups of any size. He and his company have a motto “The Planner of Your Holiday” and this is just what he does. He plans itineraries that are not only limited to trekking but will include other activities such as water rafting, biking, sight-seeing, village walks, hang-gliding, cruising, mountaineering, and much more.

Nepal is one of the most beautiful countries in the world for an adventure holiday, a family vacation or a honeymoon stay. It has some of the best trekking routes in the world and Dipak is well known for his advice & suggestions as to what type of trek is best suited for you and your party.

The cost of trekking depends on the particular activities you & your party want to participate in and the route you plan to take and the type of accommodation you plan to use along the way. Nepal Trekking Planner can also organize itineraries to neighboring countries such as Bhutan & Tibet. For the cost of such trips or for the cost of any itinerary, Dipak will gladly supply you with this. Contact him at ([email protected]) or if you are in Kathmandu, give him a call at 0977-1-441-0329. The Royal Bengal Tigers & One Horned Rhinoceros are just a couple of animals that you may see while on an elephant safaris in the Chitwan National Park.

It was my first trip to Nepal and first trek to EBC. I am glad that we had tied-up with a professional like Dipak and his firm Trekking Planner. He was in constant touch with us ever since we contacted him for details and he arranged everything in a professional manner. Kudos to him and his vibrant team. Looking forward to do many treks with you Dipak and Suman.

I cannot say enough nice things about Trekking Planner. Dipak Lamichhane handles communications for the company and is highly organized and very responsive to any and all queries about day trips and activities in Nepal. We set up a one day Bote Koshi rafting excursion with Trekking Planner, and Dipak helped us promptly set up transportation and an itinerary with only a 1-2 day notice. Highly recommend reaching out to him for planning your adventures in Nepal. We won't hesitate to enlist his help on our next Kathmandu vacation.

it was my first trip to Nepal so I was intimidated by how hard some of the traditional treks offered by every company in Nepal sounded. I am very happy I ended up with Dipak and Trekking Planner.

I wanted a chance to spend time in the mountains at a pace that wouldn't leave me miserable everyday.

Dipak organizes "slow trek" options which take you up the route to Everest Base Camp but you stop short as you ascend and descend at a slower pace- Everything that was needed was taken care of Dipak was there at the airport , meeting me at the hotel before any day trips- he handled everything for m while I was in Nepal and he is one of the few things I could count on in Nepal.

He sent me up with Narayan as my guide and I cant praise him enough- great sense of humor- knows anything you want to know about the area and the mountains- picks really comfortable and friendly tea houses- just a great person to guide you through the trek- he doesn't sugar coat anything but he is always supportive and smiling which makes everything easier.
Thanks to both for an incredible experience.

I ended up wanting to cut the trek short a few days as I was just to cold and wanted to spend a few days at the Pokhara Lakside area to get warm and relax- Dipak was able to sort out the last minute change in plans without any problems

" We have been trekking once with Dipak, when he was our guide on two tailor-made treks in the Nepal regions of Annapurna and Everest. We had booked these treks through an agency, and we were so impressed with Dipak's work that we stayed in contact with him. Two years later we went on a third trek..."
