Wonderful EBC trek, Unforgettable Experience - Trekking Planner did a great job in guiding us with preparing before the trip. Dipak, the owner was quick in responding to all our queries via text and multiple phone calls. We had an amazing experience thanks to our guide Dibash. He is very knowledgeable and experienced guide. He planned out each day perfectly with ample breaks and proper pace setting that made this trek easier. Our porter Prajal was very courteous and always had a smile on his face. I highly recommend the team at Trekking planner. I’ll definitely be using them again in the future.

Amazing experience with Trekking Planner Nepal - I highly recommend this company. Our group of 20 just finished trekking Everest Base Camp with them and was extremely impressed and satisfied with their service. There staff made us feel like apart of their family and catered to all our needs. It is extremely difficult to satisfy 20 people but they did a wonderful job. Highly recommend them for your future adventures and personally would hire them again when I decide to return.

Amazing 12 days of EBC+Gokyo trekking, made possible by an experienced guide. - I had the incredible experience of trekking the Everest Base Camp and Gokyo circuit, a journey made even more memorable by our exceptional guide, Dibash. His philosophy of taking the trek ‘one day at a time’ not only eased the physical and mental pressures often associated with such a challenging climb but also allowed us the luxury of stopping to capture the natural beauty and birdlife through our lenses. What particularly stood out was his flexibility. On Day 3, due to unforeseen circumstances, we had to alter our route to head to Everest Base Camp first instead of Gokyo. Dibash adapted to the situation seamlessly, ensuring the revised itinerary was just as rewarding. Another commendable aspect was his attention to our comfort. Dibash always went the extra mile to secure accommodations with toilets and showers, a luxury that is often hard to come by in high-altitude treks. Moreover, he introduced us to a detour that led us to experience glaciers up close, making it an unforgettable part of our journey. I’d also like to extend my deepest appreciation to our porter, Puri. Carrying 40+ kg bags with remarkable ease, Puri sustained himself on simple dal bhat each day, exemplifying the resilience and spirit that is often associated with the locals of this region. All in all, completing the EBC and Gokyo circuit in just 12 days was a feat made possible by the unmatched expertise and support. His passion for trekking and his love for the mountains are evident in the way he guides. Every step with him feels like a step closer to understanding not just the trek, but the rich culture and heritage that Nepal has to offer. Dibash has not just been a guide but also an excellent companion and a great friend during this adventurous journey. As for Puri, his incredible stamina and cheerful disposition despite the heavy load were inspiring to say the least. I firmly believe that the success of any trek in the Himalayas is as much about the guide and porter as it is about the trekkers, and in Debash and Puri, we had the best possible team. I wholeheartedly endorse them for anyone looking to explore Nepal, whether it’s your first trek or you’re a seasoned trekker. They offer not just their services but also a window into the heart and soul of the Himalayas. Thank you, Dibash and Puri, for making our Everest Base Camp and Gokyo trek not just successful, but truly enriching. I wish you both the very best for your future endeavors and hope to trek with you again.

Trip of a lifetime - Fantastic trip of a lifetime, hiking in the Everest region. Highlights: Renjo La, Gokyo, Gokyo Ri, Cho La, Everest Base Camp, Kala Patthar. The sunrise hikes were beautiful. Our guide Dibash entertained us with card tricks and card games, and our porter Sunil made it look easy. We hiked with views of 4 different 8k+ meter peaks, and also enjoyed views of beautiful Ama Dablam. Add to that the Buddhist prayer wheels and monasteries that dot the region, and it's a trip we will never forget.

A Nepali Adventure - Trek with confidence! - Trekking the EBC and Goyko ridge was truly the experience of a lifetime! We are so appreciative of Trekking Planners for organizing our trip to our specifications and delivering far more than we could have imagined and far exceeding our expectations. Our guide Ananta was so knowledgeable and took very good care of us. Thanks to PJ as our Porter on this 20 day trek. There is a lot to consider when trekking to 18k feet with climatizing, explaining local culture, how to cross a suspension bridge when yaks are also crossing - and so much more! Dipak the owner of Trekking Planners Nepal was very well connected and flexible with our changes and available the whole time and his very friendly staff created an amazing Nepal adventure for us. Arranging flights to and from the trek points Picking us up from the airport 5 hours away when the flights to Khatmandu were rerouted, arranging our lodging and flight/ bus ride to Chitwan for a Safari adventure; Welcome and farewell dinners in Khatmandu where we met other Trekkers and locals. Arranging for tours of temples and UNESCO sites while in Khatmandu, and arranging a fine hotel in the heart of the Thamel area. We arrived during one Festival and left during another - truly a cultural experience! The Nepali people welcome with kindness and open arms. The people living in the mountains - accessible only by the trails - have delightful tea houses all arranged for us by our Guide Ananta meeting us with warm lemon ginger tea after a day of trekking. We recommend Trekking Planners Nepal. They stand out among the competition for unbeatable attention, service and pricing. We’ll recommend to our friends and would use them again whole heartedly.
