I am a 59 year Australian professional female with no former trekking experience and completed the Everest Base Camp Trek via Gokyo and the Chola Pass in late November 2019 I chose to use the services of Holiday Planner following my extensive research of Nepalese trekking companies which included follow-up with former clients in Australia. The service I received from Eak Lal with Holiday Planner from day one of our contact was outstanding. His professional manner and genuine and sincere interest in assisting and supporting me made my planning for this trek an absolute pleasure. Three weeks before departure my female trekking companion was taken ill and had to cancel her trip. All support and assistance during this difficult period was most reassuring and I left Australia on my own feeling very confident that all my expectations would be met. And they were! My guide and Sherpa were simply wonderful! I found parts of the trek very challenging, especially the Chola Pass as it started snowing as we commenced the ascent. I would not have been able to complete this challenge without the constant support, encouragement and infinite patience of my guide; he was indeed my "Guardian Angel"! My comfort and safety were always his utmost priority and his level of local knowledge and experience proved incredibly useful. Eak lal, thank you so very much as you went way beyond the requirements of your job role to assist me. This was an unforgettable and very spiritual experience for me. I feel that part of my spirit still resides in Nepal and I will certainly be returning to this very special part of the world.I will always use the services of Holiday planner for my future trekking needs.I highly recommend the services of the professional team at Holiday Planner to anyone going to Nepal.

As I look back now, 2 months following our 3 week trek of the Annapurna Circuit, the experience puts a smile on my face and a feeling of the true sense of accomplishment that we had. I had some reluctance going in since I was a novice trekker, but 2 things stood out in making my decision to "take the plunge" and head to Nepal:
(1) I was going with trusted friends
(2) Two of these friends in our group were making a return trip to Nepal and utilizing the same guide whom they used on their first trek of Nepal and to Mt. Everest Base Camp. I can see why they chose Eak Lal (co-owner of Holiday Planner Treks & Expedition ) to lead us through the Annapurna Circuit. Eak Lal not only showed us the way , but he educated those of us that were not experienced trekkers on how to safely complete the trek. He also allowed us to enjoy the beauty of Nepal and the beauty of the Nepalese people along the way.
Every morning, I looked forward to lacing up my trekking boots, grabbing my trekking poles and heading out. I won't lie: I also looked forward (in the early afternoon, or sometimes late afternoon) to walking into our destination village for the evening , taking off those boots , and sipping on a cold beer before dinner. What a feeling of accomplishment on a daily basis! Can't say enough about Eak Lal our guide, and his team of porters who assisted us throughout the trip. We appreciated their knowledge and enjoyed their company. Would highly recommend them to anyone considering a trek through Nepal.

Given our luck with mountains (rain, strong winds....you get the idea), we got really lucky this trip! The views were amazingly stunning and we enjoyed every bit of the trip.
The trip schedule was perfect for acclimitization and our guide, Eak lal, did a good job with pacing that we found ourselves ample time to sightsee while keeping to trek schedule. Accommodation on trek exceeded our expectations really, given we got double beds for almost half of our stay and some days we were fortunate enough to have an attached bathroom (saved ourselves from the cold journey in the middle of the night!) with hot showers too. Eak Lal and our porter, Suman, were professional right from start to the end, ensuring our needs were always taken care of and making our trek comfortable. Booking for the trip was hassle-free as communication was prompt and detailed. This company for making our trip a memorable one and we have only great reviews for the service they provided! Looking forward to our next trip with them in the near future :)

What can I say. What an amazing trip, beautiful place beautiful people and awesome memories. What made it all the more special was our fantastic guide Eak Lal who from when we landed had a man there at the airport waiting. Straight to our hotel. Welcome dinner and explained to us our itinerary for the trip. Once we landed in Lukla Eak lal was there waiting and after that is where the adventure begun. I would highly recommend Nepal Holiday planner Treks to anyone looking to go Nepal. A++ services and knowledge. Made it feel more like a journey with friends than a trek to one of the highest mountain ranges. To Eak Lal and team, thank you.

We had the privileged of getting Eklal as our guide, and he was awesome! I literally couldn't recommend him enough. A friend and I decided to do this trek together, without having done anything higher than 14,000 ft before, and Eklal was a great reference for what we should be expecting and solving problems that we came across. He's not a doctor, but he had a great understanding of what happens to the body as you're ascending. I wanted to do the trip without taking Diamox, so I had to be a bit more careful than the average patron, and his 19 YEARS of experience doing this sort of thing was vital to my friend and I got to base camp and back.
High-altitude trekking took wear on my mental state, and traveling in a small group you would think after a couple of days's the conversation would get stale after 10 or so days. Not with Eklal, he always found a way to make the conversation interesting and he's very articulate. He gave a lot of insight into Nepali life, and I'm sad I only had a month to explore. I can't wait to make a trip back with Holiday Planner Treks

We had a wonderful and one of the most memorable experiences doing the trek. Undoubtedly the landscape was fantastic but equally fantastic were our guide and porter - Eklal and Santosh. Some people try to attempt the trek on their own, but having a guide like Eklal makes world of difference. Not only does he make all the arrangements as best could be made in these parts of the world, but he is a terrific companion to have on the trek. He is extremely friendly and easy-going but being so he never misses his professionalism and his responsibility. During the trek, he adjusted to our likings and pace. It is safe to say that I wouldn’t have personally made it to the end without his support. Our relationship with Eklal didn’t end with the trek, we had plans to visit other parts of Nepal and he was very prompt and a great help to make all the travel arrangements. He called before every departure, during every stay with everything was all right, and made himself readily available if needed. The service and professionalism were nothing short of 5 stars. Highly recommend anyone wanting to trek in Nepal to give Eklal and Holiday PlannerTreks a shot.

I had the pleasure to trek with this company to Everest Base Camp and it was truly an amazing and life-changing experience. I cannot say enough good things about the people involved. Special thanks also to Eaklal for his expert guidance, knowledge, and experience which made all the difference. I would highly recommend trekking with this company. I certainly will be back for a future trip!
