Great Himalayan journey with Trekking Planner Nepal. Caring team, strong guides, beautiful nature. - At the end of December 2025, we had a wonderful Himalayan journey with Trekking Planner Nepal. From day one, their responsiveness, needs-oriented solutions, and thoughtful little surprises made it clear this was the right choice for a joyful and well-organized experience. Our guide, Gyaljen, and his assistant, Pasang, were excellent throughout the trek. We felt safe at all times. Their positive energy, calm guidance during challenging moments, and ability to manage the flow of the journey were truly impressive. As it was off-season, accommodations were managed dynamically, and the team genuinely tried to find the best available options. That said, a few stays fell below expectations. The fact that the team listens openly to feedback on accommodations shows how much they care about improving and how deeply they love their work. I will always remember the Himalayas for their powerful nature and beauty. When I feel ready, I will gladly return to explore even higher paths.

Individual trek for a couple to EBC, Kala Patthar and Gokyo Ri - We had a great and successful trek to the EBC and were also successful with Kala Patthar and Gokyo Ri. Dipak did a very good job answering all our questions prior to the trek and adapting the itinerary to our preferences. After our conversations we have also received Crampons given the heavy snowfall a few days before our start (thankfully as definitely needed). The trekking planner team tried to make our trek as comfortable as possible. Naturally everyone should still note that comfort levels in the currently existing teahouses can't be compared with hotels in urban areas - be prepared to use your sleeping bags from time to time as it gets cold at night if heating blankets do not work due to electricity problems (depends on solar power and teahouse policies). Dibash our guide, who has a 100% success rate for EBC and Ganesh as our porter were a great crew and a real asset for the trekking. Ganesh was always kind, professional and reliable. Dibash is a very experienced, calm and knowledgeable guide who frequently monitored us with an oxymeter and made sure we were in the right condition to take the next stage. Further he is well connected across teahouses and guides which helps to get the best treatment and comfort there is. Dipak and Dibash are also able to get short notice adaptations coordinated in case required Thank you and all the best to the team!

Does more than it says on the tin - I cannot speak highly enough of Dipak and his company. We are normally very independent travellers but he made things so easy that we surrendered our independence🤣. 100 percent trustworthy and reliable. Suggested things and facilitated when and where appropriate but without being pushy. Delivered exactly what was promised and more. Despite crappy weather we had a great trek with Dipu and Suman (superman) attempting the three passes. An experience we won't forget. Thoroughly recommend👍👍.

Excellent experience doing the Gokyo Ri trek with Trekking Planner - I had an excellent experience during my solo trek to Gokyo Ri in November. The itinerary set by Trekking Planner was perfect (an extra stop at Phorse Tenga, that most hikers skip, but is useful in my opinion). Most importantly, the Trekking Planner team took care of me when things did not go per plan. The weather in Lukla was bad at the start of my trip and I was delayed by a day. Many hikers were stuck for 4 days in Kathmandu. Dipakji (owner of Trekking Planner) stayed on top of the situation and was effective in arranging a helicopter transport for me. Through the trek, my guide Sudeep and porter Namaraz were wonderful. They were continuously working to ensure I had a good experience. When Sudeep realized that I was interested in photography, he helped make decisions to maximize my chances of capturing good photos. To make up for the lost day due to weather, he rightly guided me to reduce my stay in Gokyo from two days to one day, and do a sunset (instead of sunrise) hike to Gokyo Ri. The angle of the sun and the sunset light was ideal for capturing photos of the Himalayan peaks, including Everest. It also allowed me to get back to Lukla per my original schedule. When flights out of Lukla were getting delayed on the way out, Sudeep was constantly looking out for me by making trips to the airport. When we saw an opportunity to get a helicopter from a village called Surkhe, Sudeep rushed down with me (1500 feet descent) to help me make my flight. Overall, a successful trip thanks to the efforts by Trekking Planner.

Gokyo Valley with Gyeljen Sherpa! - A massive thank you to Dipak and his team at Nepal Trekking Planner for an unforgettable adventure. Our trip started with a bit of chaos—our flight to Lukla was diverted due to Ramechhap bad weather—but Dipak handled it with such calm and efficiency. He got us on the next available flight and made sure we were looked after in the meantime, thanks to their local guy Mudjee. When we finally landed in Lukla, we met our guide, Gyeljen, and porter, Pasang, and honestly, the trek wouldn’t have been the same without them. From the very first hello, Gyeljen’s energy and warmth were infectious. He has this incredible way of making you feel at ease, no matter how tough the trail gets. Even on the hardest days he kept us laughing and motivated. It’s clear he loves what he does and that passion made the whole trek feel special. Pasang was equally amazing—always smiling, even with a load that would’ve stopped most people in their tracks. Together, they made us feel like we weren’t just clients but part of their family. If you’re planning a trek in Nepal, I can’t recommend these guys enough. Dipak’s team is organized, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in making your experience unforgettable. And if you’re lucky enough to have Gyeljen as your guide, you’re in for something truly special. If I get the chance to go back, I’d book with them again in a heartbeat.
