Trekking Planner is simply the best around. I am honored to have chosen them to fulfill my lifelong dream of seeing Mt Everest. My boyfriend and I chose the Gokyo Ri trek and we were so happy to have trekked with Trekking Planner and the amazing guide Krishna. Dipak, the owner helped us with everything from before we even arrived! We had trouble with cancelled flights and lost luggage - Dipak was there to ensure that we were taken care of and was extremely flexible with our changing plans.

The guides he employs are simply incredible. Krishna, our trekking guide, went above and beyond our wildest expectations. I like to say that we started with a guide and ended with a friend. We would exchange funny stories about our childhood, talk about culture and life in Nepal and America (my home country), play cards, and were well looked after. He ensured we were safe (I fell coming down Gokyo and he was quick on the scene and helped me tend to my bumps and bruises) and did everything in his power to make sure we were comfortable. We had trouble with one of our rooms on the way up, so when we stayed at the same place on the way down he ensured we had a better room.

Most guides are quick to ditch their clients once you arrive in the teahouse, but Krishna took a genuine interest in us. We would hang out and he would tell us all kinds of stories. We even learned some Nepali, including our nicknames Fox (Piyauri) and Squirrel (Lokharke). Krishna ensured we were well acclimatized by taking us on hikes to good viewpoints and other small villages no tourist visits at the various places we stayed. It wasn't uncommon for Krishna to hang out with us in the teahouse and join in with our conversations with other trekkers. People with other guides would lean in close to hear his stories and thoughts.

I will certainly be back to Nepal! There is so much to see and do in this amazing country. If you head to the mountains with Trekking Planner, definitely be sure to request Krishna!

Trekking Planner facilitated a fabulous 21-day trek for us starting in the Solu-Khumbu - the lower foothill country of the Everest region - up to the high Himalayas of the Gokyo Lakes area. We had an excellent guide -Ganesh- and two fun-loving porters - Purna and Tej. Ganesh was thoughtful and thorough and really ensured a great experience for our family of four while we were on the trek. Everything was taken care of everyday.

Dipak was exceedingly timely in his responses when we were setting the trek up and provided us with several itineraries from which to choose. Ultimately, he helped us tailor a trek just to our needs. Everything went very smoothly and I would highly recommend Dipak's Trekking Planner services to anyone going to Nepal for the first time!

Visit of many places is my hobby as i contact to "Trekking planner". The service likes pick up from airport ,selection of hotels and visiting places was excellent and guiding was also. I am always thankful for Dipak sir for guidance at Annapurna Base Camp, if i have chance to visit next time many places of Nepal of course contact to Dipak sir.

I'm arrived in Kathmandu and I've asked at Dipack (the boss of "Trekking Planner") to organise, for me, my son and my doughter, a fast tour at Chitwan Park, only two days but with all classics activities included, as elephant raid, canoa on the river, jungle walking, etc. After this he has organised a "tailor made" trekking of five days to Poon Hill (panorama of Annapurna) with guide and porter. Everythings was meticulously organised and our trips have been greats! Dipack personally follow all activities every day by phone and he act the eventually changes of the programs, following our requirements.
At the end, Dipack is a kind person and his organisation well done!

From the start to the end the team at Trekking Planner provided an excellent experience, with Dipak picking us up from the airport with Garlands to Naryan dropping us to the airport. Although Base Camp Everest was quite a challenging trek, Naryan (our guide) gave us a lot of encouragement and always made sure we were okay. He was one of the best tour guides I've ever had and always kept us entertained with his jokes or teaching us Hindu and his vast knowledge of the Himalayas. Every tea house we stayed at he made us feel like part of the family. I have already highly recommended my friends to use only Trekking Planner to do any trips in Nepal and I personally hope to go back soon!

Very happy we chose Trekking planner to organize our trip to Everest Base Camp. The whole trip was adjusted to our needs. We had our own guide and felt actually sorry for huge groups we met, because we didn't have to adjust to anyone else. Always got the best rooms - we had our own toilet where others had to share, we had view of mountains while others didn't. Our guide was amazing a helped us with whatever we needed. Definitely would recommend to everyone and hopefully will get to go with Trekking planner to do Annapurna circuit in couple years!

From the first email we sent enquiring about a trek with Dipak the service was phenomenal. He could not do enough to help, and went above and beyond on every aspect.
He personally met us at the airport and ensured we were checked into our hotel and we're happy with everything (great accommodation and great staff) we booked a mountain flight through him to see Everest and the Himalayas and again he personally met us at the hotel and accompanied us to the airport (at 0500)
We trekked to base camp with trekking planner and it was superb, small group (just 3 of us) great personal service from everyone, guides and porters.
Stayed in better tea houses than most we met on our trip.
Look no further than Trekking Planner, these are your guys for any trek / trip to Nepal.

Fantastic trip with Trekking Planner!! Four of us travelled and even though we missed our original flight(!), Dipak amended our programme a nothing seemed too much trouble. Our guide and porters were superb and special mention must go to Naralyin as he kept our spirits high throughout. Absolutely superb and couldnt recommend Dipak and his team more highly.
