We had a fantastic trip to Gokyo. Really loved our guide. He managed everything for us. From airport pickup till leaving back home. We were assisted by a porter who took some of our gear for us. We learned a lot about local culture while trekking. We extended the tour while trekking and included the Renjo La Pass. Our guide was totally flexible. We really appreciated that. In September it was quite cloudy. Above 4000m we couldn't see a lot. Oktober should be more stable good weather but also cold. We enjoyed having enough spaces at the accommodations due to the pre season. We were told Oktober and spring can be crowded.
Namaste marchM6511DR, We are delighted to hear that you had a fantastic journey and enjoyed exploring the Everest region. We are especially happy to hear your kind words about our guide. Taking care of the arrangements from airport pickup through to your departure, while also sharing insights into local culture along the trail, is an important part of the service we want our guests to experience. We are glad you felt well supported throughout the trip. It was also great that you decided to extend your journey and add the Renjo La Pass while trekking. We are pleased that our team could remain flexible and adjust the itinerary according to your plans. September can bring cloudy and changing conditions in the Everest region, particularly at higher elevations, so we are sorry that the views above 4,000 meters were limited during your trek. At the same time, we are glad you enjoyed the quieter trails and had more space at the accommodations during the pre-season. Thank you again for trusting Trekking Planner Nepal and for sharing such useful observations about your experience. We hope to welcome you back to Nepal for another Himalayan adventure, perhaps with clearer mountain views next time!

Prior to our trip Dipak was quick to respond to our emails and answered all tour questions satisfactorily. Dipak provided an itinerary that suited our needs and being older trekkers we really needed acclimatisation days built in to our journey to reduce altitude issues. Airport transfers were provided on arrival and departure, also help with a helicopter transfer to Lukla when the weather was bad and we couldn’t fly with the booked plane Our guide and porter met us in Lukla. Our Nepalese guide spoke good English, he was very patient, he carried my pack when I struggled up Renjo La pass, Hi key phrase was “ bistarai bistarai” slowly.
Namaste robhambrook63, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re delighted to hear that Dipak was able to answer your questions, tailor the itinerary to your needs, and include appropriate acclimatization days for your trek. For higher-altitude journeys, allowing the body enough time to adjust is especially important, and we’re glad the itinerary helped you approach the challenging sections at a comfortable pace. We’re also happy that our team could assist with your transfer to Lukla when bad weather disrupted the scheduled flight. We know that unexpected changes can be stressful, so our goal is always to help our guests navigate these situations as smoothly as possible. Your kind words about your guide mean a lot to us. His patience, English communication, and willingness to help when you were struggling on Renjo La reflect the care we expect from our mountain guides. And yes, “bistarai bistarai”, slowly, steadily, is often the right approach in the Himalayas!

I successfully completed the EBC trek in April 2026 with a group of eight friends. The trekking company provided excellent support and service throughout the journey, helping make our mission a success. They arranged lodging at tea houses, our hotel in Kathmandu, all helicopter and airplane flights, and porters to carry our duffel bags. They also optimized our itinerary so we could complete the trek in just 12 days. Our assistant guide, Sujan, went above and beyond during the climb to EBC. Since I was the slowest hiker in the group, he consistently stayed with me, guiding me along the trail and offering helpful advice on maintaining balance on difficult terrain, managing altitude sickness, and identifying the famous mountains along the route. Sujan truly made my trip memorable. Special thanks as well to all our porters, who worked tirelessly to ensure our bags arrived on time at every tea house where we stayed overnight.
Namaste ganeshkZ9681UF, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful experience with us. Congratulations on successfully completing your Gokyo and Everest Base Camp trek with your group of eight! We’re delighted to know that the organization and support provided throughout the journey helped make your 12-day adventure a success. From accommodation and transportation to flights and porter arrangements, our goal is to take care of the logistics so our guests can focus on enjoying the incredible experience of trekking in the Himalayas. We’re especially grateful for your kind words about Sujan. Staying alongside a guest and providing encouragement, guidance on challenging terrain, and support with altitude is an important part of being a good assistant guide. We’re very happy to know that his patience and support made your journey more comfortable and memorable, and we’ll certainly share your appreciation with him. A big thank you as well to our porters, whose hard work often happens quietly behind the scenes. Their dedication to getting everyone’s belongings safely to the tea houses each day is an essential part of every successful trek.

FT, who is a guide at Trekking Planner, was exceptional —truly embodying everything you could hope for in a trekking leader. His knowledge of the mountains, local culture, and trails was outstanding, and he shared it generously throughout the journey, making the experience both enriching, memorable, and just incredible fun. We laughed our way up passes, joyous and grateful for the beauty of the Everest region, looking at vistas you can't believe exist because they are just otherworldly in their beauty. What stood out most was how safe and well cared for he made us feel at all times. FT was constantly attentive, quietly ensuring we were comfortable, acclimatizing well, and enjoying the trek. His calm confidence and professionalism gave us complete peace of mind, even in challenging conditions. He knows the best places to stay, is flexible and listens to what you want, and in his own gentle way ensures you have the trip of your dreams. Seriously. Beyond his skills as a guide, FT is simply a wonderful human being. Kind, thoughtful, and genuinely warm, he went above and beyond in so many small ways. FT will be a friend and brother for life. I am so grateful I crossed paths with this special person. I wish him all the best - I am sure he will continue to rise as a guide due to his latent talent and good vibes. I couldn’t recommend FT more highly—he made the entire experience unforgettable.
Namaste AmeliaSouthAfrica, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful experience with us. Your words about FT truly mean a lot to us, and we’re incredibly happy to know that he made your journey through the Everest region so special. It’s wonderful to hear that FT’s knowledge of the mountains, trails, and local culture added so much to your experience. But more than that, we’re especially grateful that you felt safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for throughout the trek. That quiet attentiveness and calm confidence are qualities we deeply value in our guides. We also love hearing about all the laughter, good times, and unforgettable moments you shared along the way. The Himalayas are extraordinary on their own, but having the right person beside you can make the experience even more meaningful. Your words about FT as a person will undoubtedly mean the most to him. To hear that a guest considers him a friend and brother for life is an incredibly special compliment. We’ll make sure he receives your message and best wishes. Thank you once again for trusting Nepal Trekking Planner and for sharing such a meaningful part of your journey with us. We’re very proud to have FT as part of our team, and we hope the friendship and memories you made in Nepal stay with you for many years to come.

This is the second time I’ve used Trekking Planner and specifically, a Sherpa guide called FT (Furtenji) - and that says it all, doesn’t it!! My daughter and I planned to have Gokyo Lake as our destination but owing to our fitness included Renjo La pass for the descent. A great achievement for a 71 year old. Firstly Dipak is quietly working away in the Trekking Planner office in Thamel, connecting people, sorting out changes of schedule, being flexible to any changing needs. He always managed to find a flight to Lukla for us and when flights were grounded, pulled massive strings to get us on to our respective helicopters. It is really a good organisation to depend on. Equally, if not more importantly, was FT, a guide who will be your friend and companion through the long trek. He really is a top notch guide who knows every path and peak, bird and animal. He takes special care of you by being mindful of your capabilities, always being aware of how you’re feeling. FT tailor- made our ascents to minimise altitude sickness, by determining how fast to walk and when to stop for rests and when to do the extra acclimatisation treks. He remained flexible to our changing itinerary and always gave us good advice. He also encouraged a positive attitude and always made me feel capable of doing difficult things. He is very kind and caring, not only to his clients but also to the porter. During our trek we learned from him about Sherpa culture. He introduced us to a family that made us Sherpa potato pancakes and Sherpa tea. FT went that extra mile for us and I thoroughly recommend him because he really is the best guide to ask for!
Namaste Viv C, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful experience with us and for choosing Trekking Planner for a second Himalayan adventure with FT. Your achievement of completing the Gokyo Lake trek with Renjo La at 71 is truly something to be proud of, and we’re honored that our team could be part of it. We’re especially grateful for your kind words about Mr Dipak and the work that often happens behind the scenes. From coordinating flights and helicopters to adapting schedules and responding to unexpected changes, his goal is always to make sure our guests can focus on enjoying their journey with confidence. And thank you for such wonderful words about FT. We know how much he values creating a genuine connection with the people he guides, while carefully adapting the pace, acclimatization, and itinerary to each guest’s abilities. It’s wonderful to hear that he helped you feel capable of taking on difficult challenges while also sharing his knowledge of Sherpa culture and local life. The potato pancakes and Sherpa tea sound like a particularly memorable part of the journey! Thank you again for your continued trust in Trekking Planner and for recommending FT so warmly. We hope this won’t be your last Himalayan adventure with us!

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.
Namaste BURCU T, Thank you so much for your thoughtful and beautifully written review. We’re truly honored to hear that your Everest Gokyo Valley Trek was such a meaningful and joyful Himalayan journey. From the very beginning, our goal is always to be responsive, caring, and attentive to every detail, so it’s wonderful to know that this came through during your experience. A heartfelt thank you for highlighting Gyaljen and Pasang. Their calm presence, positive energy, and strong sense of responsibility are qualities we deeply value, and we’re very happy that they helped you feel safe and supported throughout the trek. We also sincerely appreciate your honest feedback regarding accommodations during the off-season. Your understanding and openness mean a lot to us, and listening to such feedback is essential for us to keep improving and offering the best possible experiences. The Himalayas truly leave a lasting impression, and we’re grateful that we could be part of this chapter of your journey. Whenever you feel ready to walk higher paths again, we’ll be more than happy to welcome you back to Nepal. We’re honored that Trekking Planner Nepal could be part of this special journey. Should you or anyone else ever plan another trek, feel free to reach out via email at info@nepaltrekkingplanner.com WhatsApp at +9779851071767. Best regards from Trekking Planner Nepal!
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!
Namaste M3614SYkens, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that your 12-day Everest Gokyo Valley trek was such a great and successful adventure, including Kala Patthar and Gokyo Ri. It’s wonderful to know that Dipak could assist in planning and adapting the itinerary to your preferences, and that the crampons provided due to recent snowfall were helpful in keeping you safe and comfortable. A special thanks for highlighting Dibash and Ganesh. Dibash’s calm expertise, careful monitoring of your health, and knowledge of the region, along with Ganesh’s professionalism and reliability, truly make a huge difference in creating a safe, enjoyable, and memorable trek. We’re also glad that our team could accommodate short-notice adjustments to ensure your comfort and satisfaction. Your practical note about teahouse comfort is very much appreciated and will help future trekkers set the right expectations. We are honored that Trekking Planner Nepal, Dibash, Ganesh, and Dipak could make this journey a success for you. Whenever you or anyone you know plans another Himalayan adventure, please feel free to reach out via email at info@nepaltrekkingplanner.com or WhatsApp at +9779851071767. With warmest regards and gratitude, Trekking Planner Nepal.
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👍👍.
Dear J99010Sdavidp, Namaste and thank you for your excellent review. We are glad that Mr. Dipak could make you feel as if you are signing for your Everest Gokyo Valley trek in a smooth hassle free manner. We cannot thank you enough for pointing out our reliability and worthiness to organize trips in Nepal. Although it sounds weather was a challenge for you in the trek, we are happy to help despite these challenges. We congratulate you for successfully completing the trek even though with the hardship. We are happy to pass your praise along to Dipu and Suman. Thank you for your recommendation.
