A Truly Amazing Annapurna Base Camp Trek Experience - Our Annapurna Base Camp Trek with Holiday Planner Treks was an unforgettable experience from beginning to end. The entire journey was very well organized, and everything went smoothly. Our guide was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and always made sure we were safe and comfortable throughout the trek.
The scenery along the trail was absolutely breathtaking, with beautiful villages, lush forests, rivers, waterfalls, and magnificent Himalayan mountains. Reaching Annapurna Base Camp and standing surrounded by the stunning peaks was truly a dream come true.
The accommodation, meals, transportation, and overall arrangements were excellent. The team was very helpful, responsive, and caring throughout our trip. We felt well looked after every day.
We highly recommend Holiday Planner Treks to anyone planning an Annapurna Base Camp Trek in Nepal. Their professionalism, hospitality, and attention to detail made our adventure truly special and memorable. We would happily travel with them again!

Best travel agency !! - Made the right choice booking this trip through Holiday Planner Treks.
It was easy to get in touch with Eaklal. After submitting a query on the website, he reached me through viber, he volunteered more information about the tour (enough that we didnt have further questions), we paid via credit card and bank deposit and we were already set.
The tour: it was a 5 day trek. The first 3 nights were going up to ABC and the last night was on the way back to Pokhara. You'll walk through mountains, valleys, rivers, bridges and you'll see a lot of earth and nature. You'll be staying at tea houses - made the trip feel like a glamping trek tbh!! Soo nice. After the 3rd day the views change and you suddenly feel just how HIGH you are above the rest of the world and makes you feel so tiny. It's definitely something that cannot be seen elsewhere, and a 5 day trek is a good first exposure to the Himalayas.
Experience with the team: I suffered through majority of the trek, a mixture of AMS with gastroenteritis, but Eaklal and his team went beyond what's necessay to provide me and my friends with adequate care. He made sure we were paced well through the walk, they frequently offered to rest/food and even take photos, they were humorous and that helped a lot during the trek, and he was such a quick thinker and organizer that sudden yet major changes in the itinerary were achieved smoothly. I'm very thankful for them.

“Unforgettable 5-Day Annapurna Base Camp Trek – A Perfect Short Adventure!” - My 5-day Annapurna Base Camp Trek was truly an unforgettable experience and one of the best short treks I have ever done. Even though the trek is only five days, the journey was incredibly well-organized, smooth, and filled with breathtaking Himalayan scenery from start to finish. The routes were beautiful, passing through peaceful forests, charming villages, and stunning viewpoints that made every moment exciting.
Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and always made sure we were comfortable. The pace was well-planned, the accommodations were clean, and the food along the trail was surprisingly good. Reaching Annapurna Base Camp at sunrise was the highlight of the entire trek — standing in the middle of the Annapurna Sanctuary surrounded by towering peaks felt magical.
This short ABC trek is perfect for anyone with limited time but still wants a full Himalayan adventure. I highly recommend it for its scenery, organization, and unforgettable moments. A truly amazing experience!

“Unforgettable 5-Day Annapurna Base Camp Trek – A Perfect Short Adventure with Guide Bikash” - This was my second visit to Nepal and once again I chose Holiday Planner Treks for my adventure—and they delivered another amazing experience. This time, I completed the 5-Day Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) Trek, a short but incredibly rewarding journey. Even in such a compact itinerary, everything was organized perfectly, and the trek felt smooth, safe, and truly memorable.
My guide Bikash was outstanding throughout the entire trip. His friendly nature, deep knowledge of the trail, and constant care made the journey feel comfortable and enjoyable. He always checked on my pace, explained the mountains and local culture, and made sure I had the best lodges and meals along the way. His professionalism and warm personality made a huge difference, especially on the tougher sections of the trek.
Reaching Annapurna Base Camp at 4,130m within 5 days was an incredible achievement. The sunrise over Annapurna I, Machhapuchhre, and Hiunchuli is something I’ll remember forever.
I highly recommend this trek to anyone with limited time but a big desire to experience the Himalayas. And if you can, definitely ask for Bikash—he will make your journey unforgettable.

"Unforgettable 5-Day ABC Trek with Padam Katwal – Truly Worth the 8-Month Wait!" - We booked our 5-day Annapurna Base Camp trek with Holiday Planner Treks 8 months in advance, and it was absolutely worth every moment of anticipation! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and stress-free.
A huge credit goes to our amazing guide Padam Katwal, who was not only knowledgeable and professional but also incredibly kind and motivating throughout the journey. He kept us safe, informed, and inspired—sharing local stories, pointing out mountain peaks, and making sure we were always comfortable and smiling.
The trek itself was a dream come true—lush forests, traditional villages, warm teahouses, and that final breathtaking view of Annapurna Base Camp surrounded by towering snow-capped peaks.
We truly felt cared for, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. A big thank you to the Holiday Planner Treks team and especially to Padam for making this adventure so memorable. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a short yet epic Himalayan experience!

5-Day ABC Trek with Ram Tamang – An Unforgettable Himalayan Escape - We just returned from the incredible 5-day Annapurna Base Camp trek with Holiday Planner Treks, and it exceeded all expectations! What made this journey truly special was our amazing guide, Ram Tamang. His deep knowledge of the trail, warm personality, and constant support made the trek smooth, safe, and unforgettable.
From the very first day, Ram took care of every detail—from organizing tea house stays to encouraging us during steep climbs. The trail offered everything: rhododendron forests, cascading waterfalls, traditional Gurung villages, and, of course, jaw-dropping mountain views. The highlight was standing at ABC at 4,130m, surrounded by the massive peaks of Annapurna I, Hiunchuli, and Machapuchare.
Despite the short duration, the trek was well-paced and filled with rich cultural experiences and natural beauty. The entire team at Holiday Planner Treks was professional and caring. We highly recommend this trek to anyone short on time but seeking a true Himalayan adventure—and if you can, request Ram Tamang as your guide. He’s the best!

Amazing experience, EXCELLENT guide - I’ve been on many treks with many tour groups, and can confidently say Holiday Planner Treks (and my amazing guide, Bikash) was my favorite I’ve been on. Not only was the trek spectacular (see photos), but Eaklal (the owner/coordinator) organized everything so smoothly, was always available for questions or advice, and personally helped me when my flight was delayed. On the trek itself, I was nervous being a solo female hiker, but my guide was extremely knowledgeable, professional, helpful, and made my trip absolutely amazing. I am so grateful I booked with them and would highly recommend it to anyone- solo or group! (If you have a choice- ask for guide Bikash)

Incredible 5-Day ABC Trek with Holiday Planner Treks - We did book our 5-day Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) trek with Holiday Planner Treks, and they truly exceeded our expectations! From the moment we arrived in Pokhara, everything was well-organized — private transport, friendly guide, comfortable lodges, and delicious meals throughout the journey.
Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and always ensured our safety, especially during the steep ascents and descents. We were amazed by the beauty of the trail — dense rhododendron forests, suspension bridges, charming villages like Chhomrong and Bamboo, and the magical hot springs at Jhinu Danda. The highlight was, of course, reaching Annapurna Base Camp at 4,130 meters. Watching the sunrise over Annapurna I, Machapuchare, and Hiunchuli was a dream come true!
Though it was a short trek, every day was filled with incredible mountain views, cultural experiences, and warm hospitality. The team even provided us with sleeping bags, down jackets, and fresh fruits after meals. We felt well taken care of at every step.
If you're short on time but want a high-altitude adventure, we highly recommend this 5-day ABC trek with Holiday Planner Treks!
