He is extremely knowledgeable of the region and the various villages and places we stayed and provided a top-notch service to myself and my team. Next porter kamal was also simply amazing. Even though our Porter was lots of fun even though he spoke little English, he still communicated, and was loads of fun. Usually, when I write reviews I give some constructive feedback but I honestly wouldn’t change a thing, it was wonderful. I recommend Well Plan Trekking and this experience but I plan on coming back to Everest Base camp Trek.

Wonderful winter Manaslu circuit Trek
Jan 2025 • Couples
Great experience with this company. Although it was winter time and the cold and closing tea houses along the way made it slightly harder, we had an unforgettable experience on the Manaslu trek. Still, I would recommend going a little earlier than the 29th of December. Due to the closing of tea houses, the hike over the Larke Pass will be longer which could be a problem for some hikers. Ram was very quick at responding on all our questions and made a good and really flexible itinerary for us.
Our guide Raju and his brother are lovely and made our trip wonderful. They were very helpful and experienced, took care of everything and even cooked for us sometimes. They know a lot about the Manaslu region and their knowledge really enhances the experience. Highly recommend them if you are thinking about doing the Manaslu circuit trek . Source Tripadvisor

We did the Everest Base case trip and the three passes. Ram was always taking care of us and he managed to get everything we needed as soon as possible. We had many discrepancies from the original plan due to illnesses and he was always open to making the needed changes and flexibilize it. We couldn’t choose the best company for our trip.
Moreover, our guide, Raju, was also a five-star guide: always open to our demands, well known every hotel, place and hike.Very happy with them, Source Tripadvisor

I recently completed the Annapurna Base Camp trek and couldn’t say enough about my experience. The experience itself was amazing and a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Our lead guide, Ram, was extraordinary!! The trekking wasn’t easy, but it wasn’t that hard, and the spectacular views around each corner meant I hardly thought about the walking. OK, we had perfect weather, which helped; it even snowed while we were at Annapurna Base Camp.

Хочу выразить благодарность агентству Well Plan Trekking и лично директору Ram за оперативную организацию незабываемого , насыщенного путешествия по удивительному Непалу! За две недели мы прошли красивейший трек к базовому лагерю Аннапурны , побывали на сафари в джунглях Читвана, посетили дочтопримечательности Катманду! Четкая организация перемещений и ночевкок, внимательный и ответственный гид, прекрасные портеры, без которых наш подьем был бы крайне затруднительным, а так же дружеское участие и проводы на Родину).
Желаю дальнейшего развития и процветания !

Everest Base camp trek is unforgettable experience and adventure of a lifetime. My and my husband we went for two weeks trek with our guide Sanjay .This trip wouldn’t be so great without Sanjay . He took care of us and our health. We felt safe and supported for all of the time. When I had a bad day he checked oxygen level in my blood and assured me that everything is fine. He was also checking regularly if we drink enough water which is very important when you are at the high altitude. We are planning another trek and will definitely be going with Well plan Trekking and insisting on Sanjay as our guide!

Well Plan Trekking the Himalaya was an incredible experience before I even stepped foot in Nepal. Ram was able to reschedule my Annapurna Base Camp Trek trip due to a family function, and there was nearly no lag time in email response and confirmation. The cultural exposure and guide within the World Heritage sights throughout Kathmandu Valley was exceptional in the days up to the trek. While I was planning to trek in a group, I ended up being the only one (single female) with guide sanjaya . I felt safe with them the entire time; respectful and incredibly accommodating with my short bout of altitude sickness. Yam’s knowledge of the region is unparalleled. I am so grateful to have had him as my guide Sanjaya. This organization is one I will readily support again in future trips to Nepal, both for their hospitality, giving back to the community and nation, and unrivaled experience of Nepali Himals and culture.

Annapurna Base Camp Trek
Well Plan Trekking arranged an amazing trip to Annapurna Base Camp Trek.The trek itself was so beautiful and so challenging. Our guide Ram and assistant guide, Kamal was amazing. They worked tirelessly on the trail, at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and after hours to make sure each of us had what we needed for a successful trek. Ram monitored our oxygen and heart rates as we climbed in elevation and he helped to manage other symptoms that travelers had including gastrointestinal issues, headaches from altitude, and cold symptoms. He made sure we stayed hydrated and ate appropriate meals for optimum energy. Ram is much more than a ‘guide.’ He and Kamal paced the group but were also willing to go at the pace needed by the slowest trekkers on any given day. I thank Well Plan Trekking and the whole team very much and can highly recommend Well Plan Trekking for all kind of trekking in the amazing Himalaya.
Nepal is Great! It’s a paradise for all mountain lovers
