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.

Sagamartha hiking at its best ❤️ - We have been enjoying a wonderful 10 day trek to Ama Dablam base camp starting with a warm welcome by our guide Kishor at Kathmandu airport and next day we’ve been flying by helicopter to Surke where we started our trek in direction EBC with our guide and Porter Tunis. Our guide was so experienced to realise that our acclimatisation was not fast enough and therefore we adjusted our tour to our capabilities. Still the whole tour including ADBC and the way back via Khumjung was an unforgettable experience professionally organised by Trekking Planner, Kathmandu. Special thanks to Rusha Shrestha 🙏

Beautiful Gokyo trek with stunning scenery - Congratulations to Dipak and his team for a truly great experience for my son and I. Well organised and adaptable & resourceful when our flight to Lukla was diverted due to poor weather. Got us on the next available flight and thank you to his local man Mudjee for taking great care of us there. So once we arrived at Lukla we met our guide Gyeljen and our porter Pasang. They greeted us and said we are now family and that is how they looked after us. Gyeljen is a wonderful man, full of energy, humour and knowledge and a great view on life. I really couldn't imagine doing our trek with anyone else as guide. Nothing was too much trouble or effort. And the same can be said for Pasang, always smiling even with his heavy load. So please that we met you both and made our experience very rewarding and memorable. Thank you both. And lastly if you are looking for the best trekking company contact Dipak he will look after you and make sure your Nepal adventure is truly awesome. Would highly recommend Nepal Trekking Planner. If I get the chance to return that's who I'll be using.

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.
