Reviews

We did this Trek in April 2019. Overall experience is very positive. We enjoyed Himalayan mountains and the culture.
Our group was quite small - 4 people which was good because small groups are more flexible compared to large one.
We had a very good relationship with the tour guide. He was very friendly and always talked a lot about the culture and life in Nepal.
I am considering to come back next year and book again with the company.

"Just writing a review as I know how important it is for the team, did the trek and was well looked after by everyone in the team and had a great time, the only downside were the clouds but I can only blame my own karma for that! My guide was Nirmal and he was great. Very charismatic and funny, he takes great pride in his work and I wish him all the best in the future!"

My search for a local company with great service and the competitive total cost that would offer customized private trekking trip led me to Trekking Planner. I have been to Nepal before and have good experience with another company that I used - but, I wanted to up my expectations. I have been, as of today, very pleased with Dipak (the company owner) throughout my planning process. So I now have booked my trekking trip for the two of us (myself and my wife), which goes from mid-October to mid-November. I am expecting a great trip... I will follow up with my update once I come back from my adventure.

The itinerary had arranged by Mr. Dipak was great and suitable to our needs . Its also reasonable to our quotation. Appointed guides , Mr.Siva on Kathmandu City Tour and Mr . Ganesh on Ghanruk Loop Trekking were great . Their knowledge were meaningful to us. Along 3 day in Ghanruk Loop, we experienced beautiful view of Annapurna in every morning. The weather was raining in evening. And thank God in the morning was bright morning shine.

I would highly recommend Trekking Planning for the Everest Base Camp Short Trek. From the time I landed in Kathmandu to my departure flight back to the USA, I was completely "hand held" for my entire excursion. Dipak was with me or had a staff member take care of my needs. I was never left alone to wonder what was coming next! The trip itinerary was complete. And since I had an extra day in Kathmandu before my trek, I was able to pay a reasonable amount of money for a city tour that was complete and very informative. When it was time for me to depart to Lukla, I had complete supervision until I got on the flight which made me feel extremely comfortable. The trek to Base Camp was rather difficult, however my guide and porter took very good care of me throughout the trek. Often I needed some extra help and they were both there to escort and hold onto to me during the technical, difficult sections of the trail. I had some minor issues during the trek, but again, I was reassured by the guide and porter that I would be taken care of. When my flight was severely delayed in leaving Lukla, my guide (Gyelijan) came back to the airport to get me and stay with me for the next 3 days till I was able to secure another form of transportation out of Lukla. I can tell you that just about every other trekker saw their guide just leave them in the airport to fend for themselves! I was so grateful for Gyelijan to take care of my needs during this delay. When I did finally leave Lukla and arrive in Kathmandu, Dipak was waiting for me in the Kathmandu airport with the taxi to take me back to the Skyline Hotel. The other trekkers had to scramble for transportation. I was able to spend a few hours in the hotel before my night flight to USA and once again, Dipak arranged for a taxi to take me to the airport. I would recommend this trek as just about everything is included which makes it a "no brainer" for the client. I did want to worry about paying for lodges, food, airfare, permit fees on the trek and so it was taken care of by the guide.

I did the 'Slow and easy' trek at the Annapurna region with trekking planner, and can confidently say that it was the best experience of my life. I was a bit concerned as a female (not particularly fit) solo traveller, but everything was made so comfortable and effortless by Dipak and his team I almost couldn't believe it. They were waiting for me when I got to the airport and efficiently organised transport and every little detail. They adapted the trip for me, so I could fit a stay in a monastery and the yoga classes which were not originally included in the itinerary. Dipak is really responsive and accommodating, always making sure I had everything I needed for the trip. The yoga classes were amazing, and guides and porters all were really reliable, helpful and kind. I felt safe and spoiled at all times. I highly recommend Trekking planner for their experience and knowledge of the territory, but also for their human qualities. You couldn't be in better hands! Namaste!

A memorable experience trekking from Nayapul to Ghorenpani Poon Hill to Ghandruk . Guide cum porter Suman was helpful, friendly and patient to let us spend some time to take photos He even helped to cook at a remote cafe so that we could get to eat our lunch fast. He was also fun singing and dancing to make the gruelling trek seems less daunting. He also managed our expectations by giving us heads up on the expected hours and varied terrain thru mossy forests', bright red and pink rhododendron trees. Most stunning was the view of snow capped Annapurna peaks . Yoga was conducted by patient soft spoken Dipak who was always accompanying my friend who needed more rest breaks during the trek .
Food quality was very good as it was not oily and not overly choked with seasoning.. i esp luv their veg fried rice which usually comes in a big heap. The hot honey ginger lemon drink was energising and refreshing. Accommodation was clean and hot showers are available either FOC or for a a small token of rupees. Trekking Planner Dipak was friendly and responsive to my booking queries and flexible with the itinerary to suit our needs. He took efforts to meet us when we arrived as well as to see us off at the hotel.
A truly amazing yoga trekking experience!

I just got back from my 16 day package with Trekking Planner, doing a trek to Gokyo Valley and Renjo La Pass. Dipak and his team did everything to make this a great and super special trip for me, for which I am very thankful. The hotel and sightseeing tour in Kathmandu were very nice and a good start into my vacation. Despite general difficulties with the flights to Lukla, Trekking Planner managed to get me on a helicopter flight for a reasonable price so I could start my trek in time. My guide Suraj was wonderful - fun, knowledgable, and very responsible - and made my experience most memorable. He also paid a lot of attention to my wellbeing in the altitude and the agenda was well balanced so that we would not ascend too quickly. Thus, I felt great throughout the whole trek and enjoyed it very much. Thank you Trekking Planner, I will be back!
