Enjoyed the company of good guides and happy porters to carry my bags in the close shade of high Himalayan peaks overlooking unbelievable views of mountain range and visiting lovely villages and monasteries around beautiful Tsum Valley.

Thank you Deepak and team for wonderful trip to Tsum Valley.

In September and October 2019 I trekked in Dolpo and Limi Valley with trekking planner. All together, it was my 4th trip with trekking planner. The year before I trekked from Kanchenjungabc to Makalu bc and trekked from Manasalu to Nar Phu. The owner of the company Dipak patiently worked with me before my arrival in Nepal, patiently helping me choose my ideal trek. Dipak was able to very quickly arrange all the flights, permits and logistics necessary for trekking in extremely remote areas of Nepal. One of the best things about trekking planner is the quality of the staff he hires. All 4 of my treks with trekking planner were led by Dhirendra Kharki, who I highly recommend. He is a wonderful guide especially if you want to by visit some of the more remote areas of Nepal. Altogether I have spent almost 90 days in the mountains with Dhirendra, so I know him very well. I have met many of Dipak's other guides and assistants in Kathmandu, and they are also very good people, I felt very at home in Nepal.

I absolutely recommend Trekking Planner! Dipak and his team are truly committed to providing their clients with an incredible experience. They covered all the details from start to finish, and ensured we had the trip of a lifetime.

Dipak was highly responsive to our emails during the planning process, responding within 24 hours (often sooner) and providing us with all the info we needed to prepare. He and Prajwal were wonderful hosts during our time in Kathmandu.

We did the Tsum Valley trek with Binod (our guide) and Uttam (our porter). They took such good care of us. Binod was a wonderful guide. We learned so much about the area and the culture while on our trek. He was funny, kind, and encouraging (he even literally held my hand when I almost panicked while crossing a particularly steep section of the trail). His positive energy and attitude were contagious, and made the trip extra special. Uttam was a fantastic porter. He was incredibly friendly and warm. The two of them truly went above and beyond for us - we loved the games that they taught us to play during our down time at the teahouses. The four of us became like a little "trekking family" during the course of our 13 days.

This is a company that truly cares. I am so grateful we chose them, and we'll definitely go with them again on our next trip to Nepal (which is hopefully sooner rather than later)!

Trekking Planners Nepal is the tour company you need for the most epically diverse experience of Nepal!!
I highly recommend this company, as Suman Dhakal, our tour and trekking guide, has allowed our family to experience the Himalayas fresh air, along with Kathmandu and Pokhara culture. He has an awesome positive attitude, that inspired me to learn about the Nepalese way of living, religion and culture. He has kept my family safe and we have felt well looked after and cared for.
Our two porters Subash and Thaman are extremely hard working men, who are very humble and lovely company.
Trekking Planners Nepal has given us the experience of a life time. We are very grateful to have had this experience with Dipak’s team of kind and caring men.
Recommend this tour group company for an inspiring and rewarding experience like no other!!

"I came to the Everest Base Camp trek last year with my friends and the personal service that I received from Dipak was outstanding.

When another one of my friends asked me to go with him to Nepal to do EBC, there was only ever going to be one company I was going with, Nepal Trekking Planner.

Again Dipak, organised everything so that we would not have to worry and made sure we were looked after from the moment we landed at Kathmandu to when we left.

The journey was not easy but Suman our guide looked after us on the mountain as we walked up and down mountains, crossing suspension bridges, meeting the local Nepalese people and trying to avoid mules and yaks on the path but the views and the paths we took made it worthwhile, an experience many only dream only off.

We did not have to worry about paying for lodges, food, airfare, permit fees on the trek as it was all taken care of in the package.

Whilst I was in Kathmandu I decided I wanted to visit another part of Nepal and Dipak listened to my requirements and within hours organised a flight and transport for the next day… that is the type of outstanding service that you get when you go with this company.

I would highly recommend Trekking Planning not only for the Everest Base Camp Trek but for any other walks, visits, that you may want to do whilst you are in Nepal.

Thank you, Dipak, for looking after us, you are a genuine kind person who puts his customers first and nothing is too much trouble as long as the customer is happy."

Just finished the EBC trip with Trekking Planner. Brilliant service from Prajol in Kathmandu who covered my every need with cheerfulness. My guide on the trek, Sudip, was excellent throughout ensuring I made it to Kala Pattar despite a severe headache. He was great fun and was ably supported by Damact (?) as my porter. All in all I really aprecated the service from Dipak and his team and recommend them wholeheartedly.

Had the best experience trekking in the Himalayas with trekking planner. Our guide was Nirmal, he was always positive and encouraging. He was definitely one of the reasons we made it to base camp and back. Our porter was Roshan, he is kind and incredibly hard working. Trekking at high altitudes is extremely challenging, we would not have been able to complete this trek without the help and encouragement from our trekking planner team. This was the trip of a life time! If I ever return to the Himalayas to complete another trek, I will definitely request Nirmal and Roshan to be on my trekking team again. Could not have done it without them!

"I booked a 13 day Everest Base Camp trek online after finding that Trekking Planner were the only company offering dates that matched my leave. Prior to booking, Dipak answered all my questions efficiently via email. He didn’t ask me for a deposit when I booked, which I initially thought was unusual but I now see is just another example of the high standard of service offered.

The whole trek was very well organised from start to finish. I was particularly impressed with my guide, Sudip, and porter, Gelu. They were very friendly and put my safety and enjoyment of the trek first at all times. Sudip regularly checked my oxygen levels and advised me what was safe to eat and drink so I didn’t get sick at any point. He was also very knowledgeable regarding the culture and history of the national park, and just good fun to spend time with. He was always on the lookout for a good photo opportunity and I’ve got a memory card fun of silly (and some sensible) photos to show friends and family. There were times when we needed a change of plan, such as my flight from Lukla to Kathmandu being delayed for weather, and Sudip knew exactly what to do and supported my throughout.

The trek itself is challenging but well worth it. The altitude is not to be underestimated, and the terrain is very challenging. It is not a gradual climb on the way up, and a steady descent on the way down. There are points where you need to descend to the bottom of a valley to cross a river, then climb back up again. So there are steep climbs going both ways! However, the views of Everest are amazing and you’ll get a really sense of achievement from reaching Base Camp.

I was also surprised how much is included in this package, compared to what other companies are offering. You get all airport transfers, full board while trekking (you pick one menu option and one tea/coffee per meal off the menu at each teahouse), and a welcome dinner. And there is no deposit and I believe you can cancel up to 24 hours before if required. Overall this is excellent value for money."
