Unforgettable 5-Day Annapurna Base Camp Trek with Holiday Planner Treks & Guide Ram Tamang - We did the 5-day Annapurna Base Camp Trek from May 15 to 19, 2025, with Holiday Planner Treks, and it was an unforgettable adventure! Everything was perfectly arranged — from transportation and permits to accommodation and meals — allowing us to fully enjoy the beauty of the Himalayas without any worries.
A huge thanks to our amazing guide, Ram Tamang, who was friendly, knowledgeable, and always attentive to our needs. He made the trek safe, fun, and insightful, sharing stories about the mountains and local culture along the way.
The trail was stunning throughout — rhododendron forests, stone villages, and dramatic mountain views. Standing at Annapurna Base Camp surrounded by towering peaks like Annapurna I and Machapuchare was a moment we’ll never forget.
We were impressed by the care and professionalism shown by the entire Holiday Planner Treks team. The extra touches like fresh fruit, warm drinks, and cozy lodges really made a difference.
We highly recommend this trek to anyone looking for a short yet epic Himalayan experience. And if possible, ask for Ram Tamang — he’s one of the best!

Unforgettable 5-Day Annapurna Base Camp Trek with the Amazing Merman Tamang! - I recently completed the 5-day Annapurna Base Camp Trek with Holiday Planner Treks, and it was truly the adventure of a lifetime! From the very beginning, the organization and communication were smooth and professional. Our guide, Merman Tamang, was absolutely outstanding. He was knowledgeable, patient, and deeply passionate about the mountains. His explanations of the culture, nature, and local life added so much meaning to our journey. He also made sure we were safe, comfortable, and enjoying every step of the trek.
Our porter was equally amazing – always cheerful and strong, carrying our bags effortlessly while greeting us with a smile at every stop. The teamwork between Merman and the porter created a warm and friendly atmosphere throughout the trek.
The views were breathtaking – especially from Annapurna Base Camp surrounded by majestic peaks. I highly recommend Holiday Planner Treks to anyone looking for a well-organized, safe, and unforgettable trekking experience in Nepal. Huge thanks to Merman and the team for making it so special!

Experience of a life-time - The 5-day ABC trek was the highlight of my Nepal trip. While the daily hikes (6–8 hours) pushed me out of my comfort zone, the stunning scenery and incredible support from my guide made it unforgettable. The trail mixes lush rhododendron forests, terraced villages, and jaw-dropping Himalayan vistas, culminating in the sunrise over Annapurna range and Machapucchre - pure magic.
My guide, Bikash, was patient, knowledgeable and prioritized safety. Porter handled logistics seamlessly. Surprisingly good food: Fresh dal bhat, momos, reasonably priced considering remoteness of the area.
Despite the altitude (4,130m at ABC), acclimatization stops and cozy lodges kept fatigue manageable. But if you are not used to elevation, consider a longer (7-8 days) tour.
Prepare for endless stone stairs and rocky paths-hiking poles are a must. Hot showers were available ar every stop, be prepared for a very rustic experience :)
This trek is perfect for those seeking adventure without extreme technical demands. Don't hesitate to book with 'Holiday Planner Treks', they handle everything to perfection !
Pro Tip: Pack light, bring electrolyte tablets, and start training stairs beforehand.
Cheers !

Well-Organized, Beautiful Trek – ABC in Just 5 Days! - We recently completed the 5-day Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) trek with Holiday Planner Treks, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. There were three of us in the group, and from the moment we arrived in Pokhara, everything was perfectly organized. Our guide, Bikash, was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and always made sure we were safe and enjoying every moment. He shared stories about the mountains, the local culture, and even helped us capture some amazing photos along the way.
Our porter was also amazing—always smiling and carrying our bags with great care. The food during the trek was surprisingly delicious, with warm meals served in cozy tea houses, and we especially appreciated the hot drinks after long walking days. The accommodations were simple but clean and comfortable, with stunning mountain views in the mornings.
The entire team from Holiday Planner Treks went above and beyond to make this trek special. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a short but breathtaking adventure in the Himalayas. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

Amazing 5-Day Annapurna Base Camp Trek with Holiday Planner Treks - We just completed the 5-day Annapurna Base Camp trek, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we booked with Holiday Planner Treks, everything was handled professionally. Our guide, Merman Tamang, was outstanding—knowledgeable, friendly, and always ensuring our safety and comfort.
The trek itself was breathtaking! The trail took us through beautiful rhododendron forests, charming villages, and stunning river valleys.

The sunrise over the Himalayas was absolutely magical!
The lodges were comfortable, the food was great, and we felt well taken care of throughout the trek. The team at Holiday Planner Treks made sure everything was smooth—from transportation to permits and accommodations.

From start to finish, their service is professional, well-organized, and highly reliable. The team takes care of everything, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free trek. Our mountain guide, Ram Tamang, has been with us on multiple treks, and he is simply outstanding! His deep knowledge of the trails, warm hospitality, and constant encouragement made the journey even more special. He always prioritized our safety and comfort, making sure we had an enjoyable trekking experience.
Holiday Planner Treks has consistently provided excellent guides, comfortable accommodations, delicious meals, and seamless logistics.

Another Outstanding Adventure with Holiday Planner Treks - This was our second time trekking with Holiday Planner Treks, and once again, they delivered an exceptional experience! This time, we opted for the 5-day Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) trek, and it was nothing short of amazing.
Our guide, Padam, was absolutely fantastic—knowledgeable, patient, and always attentive to our needs. He made sure we were comfortable throughout the journey and shared fascinating insights about the local culture, traditions, and the breathtaking landscapes we passed. His expertise added so much value to the trek and made us feel safe and well-cared for at all times.
The trek itself was incredible. Starting from lush forests and charming Gurung villages to the awe-inspiring views of Annapurna South, Machhapuchhre, and Hiunchuli at the base camp, every moment was a treat for the senses. Padam made sure we paced ourselves well, so even though the trek was challenging, it never felt overwhelming.
The accommodations in the mountain lodges were cozy, and the meals were delicious—perfect for recharging after a day’s trek. We were also touched by the thoughtful little extras provided by the team, like seasonal fruits and warm drinks at key points of the journey.
The farewell dinner arranged in Kathmandu was another highlight, giving us a chance to reflect on this incredible journey with gratitude.
Holiday Planner Treks has once again proven why they’re our go-to company for trekking in Nepal. We highly recommend them, and we’ll definitely return for more adventures. Thank you, Padam and the entire team, for an unforgettable experience

ABC trek - I did ABC and Mardi Hilma trek with Holiday Planners Trek. My guide is Eaklal, he is a very attentive , caring and experienced guide. He went all the way to make sure our trek is safe and enjoyable. He would always wait for me when I could not keep up, he also there to motivate me and make sure I am alright. Without Eaklal I would have given up my trek. Thanks a lot And I truly appreciate your support and I really have an amazing trekking experience. I strongly recommend Eaklal if you are looking for Nepal Himalaya trek.
