In October 2019 my brother and I had the pleasure to visit Chitwan National Park under the guidance of (Kumar) Lama. After a long bus ride from Kathmandu we were welcomed at the Earth Light Hotel. The had everything we needed, and more! The place was well-maintained, clean, had a swimming pool and the (all inclusive) meals were good. The staff was very polite. During the three days, Lama had prepared a program for us which included various activities such as jungle canoeing, visiting an elephant pharm, a local village an dance show. The absolute highlight was the jungle walk where we encountered a rhinoceros! I would describe Lama as a helpful, professional, sincere and enthusiastic guide. After the three days it felt like we made a friend! We hope Lama and the hotel are doing well and we wish him and his family all the best during these difficult Covid times. Best regards from Amsterdam, Eric.

I just completed the Mount kilimanjaro climb organized by Himalayan Glacier. I was supported by a fantastic guide Fromance. He ensured my safety and took me on several additional walks at the various huts where we stayed. We had fun and very interesting adventures. The rest of the team included a fantastic chef, Yona, who created spectacular dishes including a celebratory cake for us after finishing the climb. I would highly recommend anyone considering this climb to go with Himalayan Glacier

I just completed a climb with Trekking Planner- Gyeljan Sherpa and I summited Mera peak on 4/30 and made a dream of mine come true! This is the second time i come to Nepal with Trekking Planner and it is always a pleasure to plan and work with Dipak! Everything is organized to the smallest detail-from airport pick up, to meals and gear rentals-everything is great every time! Gyeljan was more than an excellent guide, he made sure i am ok at all times not only physically but mentally also when above 6000m! Pasang was also making sure i am well fed and taken care of at all times while at the lodges. Dipak made sure the return and stay at hotel was rescheduled smoothly due to ongoing changes. This is an amazing company that provides the best service both in Kathmandu and high in the mountains! I will be back next year for sure!!! Thank you for everything!!!

Had one of the best travelling experience ever! Our iterinary comprised Kathmandu, Lumbini and Pokhara. Our Guide Dhrupa and Driver Gobindhan were extremely caring and helpful in every possible way. Guide's Knowledge of the places was excellent and his ability to converse allowed us to understand about the rich culture of Nepal well. My mum and I were very well taken care of right from the beginning till the last minute we left for our flight. We feel extremely touched by the hospitality and warmth we received. It was once in life time experience. Will definitely recommend to my friends and family. Cheers :)
