      Trekking Planner recommendation. We walked the Annapurna Circuit and the Annapurna Sanctuary

      Dipak of Trekking Planner organized our walk for us - a couple of South African women. He was fantastic - everything worked out so smoothly because of his wonderful attention to detail. He really assessed us well and organized things so that they suited us. Krishna, our porter-guide was excellent - happy to walk the extra many miles because we wanted to. Dipak was in touch with him for the 19 days of our walk and was ready to help if necessary. When the man at the bus stop in chaotic Kathmandu held up a sign with our name and shouldered the heavy rucksack to walk us back to the hotel at the end of the bus trip, I realized just how excellent Dipak's organization was. And the wonderful meal he treated us to, the prayer scarf and the final trip to the airport just made my trip so easy and satisfying. His advice was pertinent and well thought out at all times. We were really lucky, weather-wise, and had the most perfect trip ever. I highly recommend this organization to anyone who is planning a trip to Nepal. He will arrange things just as YOU would like them and then pay the most thoughtful attention to detail. Thanks Dipak and Krishna for making my dream trip of many years be so fantastic.
