You showed us a part of the world most people only get to dream about. We were taken by friendly, enthusiastic guides and Sherpas to remote locations that gave us amazing views of the most majestic mountains in the world. Everything you promised was delivered and the trek was the most enjoyable vacation I have ever had. I would encourage anyone who is thinking of trekking in Nepal to contact you for excellent, professional care.

We enjoyed the singing and dancing each night and the delicious food prepared for us each meal. I especially liked the porridge with fresh coconut bits and the tea that was placed outside our tents each morning. I am glad you helped us decide on a tenting trek rather than a tea house or lodge trek. You were right, it was more fun as evidenced by the other people who came to our tent sites for singing and dancing. I really liked the apple pie and the surprise chocolate cake on the last night.

I wish you well in your enterprise (Plan Journeys ). Your enthusiasm and willingness to accomodate our wishes sets you apart from the ordinary 'canned' Travel company. Our guide, KP, was thoroughly knowledgeable about the trail and could always tell us how many minutes of 'up' we would have before we got some 'down'. I will always cherish the view we had from Poon Hill but I may be ready for some higher work next time.

We will always remember your professional help and friendly demeanor.

" Thanks for such a wonder full trip. You had great teamwork. Keep all staff as happy as they are- all nice people, really helpful always. Great humor & 'spirit' among all staff."

First of all I want to thank Plan Journeys so much for making our Nepal trip so great that we will talk about it for rest of our lives. You have dedicated people who are always willing to help in anyway they can with a big smile on their faces.

I have traveled many times around the world. I can say without hesitation that Plan Journeys is the best travel/tour agency I have had the pleasure to utilize.

I hope to return soon to Nepal, and other countries with Plan Journeys, and enjoy the hospitality once again.

Say thanks to everyone for us. We will highly recommend Plan Journeys to all our friends for their vacation in Nepal

My girlfriend and I had 3 weeks in Nepal and we worked with Bharat at Plan Journeys. We found him and his company to be OUTSTANDING.
We emailed about 5 guiding companies in Nepal for help, and they ranged from very expensive to dirt cheap, detailed to vague and very friendly to arrogant & pompous. We chose Plan Journeys because Plan Journeys were very detailed and very friendly in all the emails.. It is difficult to have personality come through within emails, especially if the English is off a bit, but his willingness to help and kindness came through as obvious. As soon as I read his response to my email, it was set in our minds, we planned to work with Plan Jourenys.

We booked the Kathmandu tour 3 days Pokhara-Gorapani-Pokhara trek for 7 days 2 nights 3 days in chitwan & raft one days. Plan Journeys also booked our arrangements into Tibet. They helped us tremendously with the odd rules and the Do's and Don'ts.

The majority of the help that we received from Bharat and Plan Journeys wasn't from what we actually booked and paid for with them, it was mostly their kindness, recommendations and generosity... which of course you cannot buy.

Have a wonderful trip!!

With Plan Journeys in the Himalayas was an extraordinary experience. Friendly guides and porters, extremely well instructed they did an amazingly good job. We went through jungle, over high passes, climbed a 6000-metre peak continuously supported by our Nepalese friends. All the little problems in daily life on trekking they did solve fully to our convenience.
The many small personal wishes we had were, thanks to the great management, all realized. We made for example a beautiful side-trip for which we had sufficient time left.

Thanks for adding value to our lives.

Without any reservation, I arrived at Airport of Kathmandu. First impression to me after un-expected 3 hours delayed flight by Royal Nepal Airline was "what a dangerous like city"!
ANATA DOKO IKIMASUKA? asked by Puskal?

I decided to be with him, and then after one hours I really recognised what I am lucky man! With Plan Journeys , to mini trek to Dhampus was the first my memorable trip ever I experienced.

Next time, yes I asked to this agency not only my own trip but also my friend's trip.

Thank you very much for your Kind arrangements and honest manner.

Namaste ! See you soon!

They did a great job, and gave as a whole lot of good advice for the road. We would strongly recommend Plan Journeys to other tourist, they are really concerned with what you want and need and give you the possibility to make up your trek just as you like it!

I spent 16 days in the Everest National Park. And reached both the Everest Base Camp and took Photographs at Kalapatter. I had a wonderful time. and monsoon season has many advantages over there My Guide was a great bloke, and the people we stayed with on route were very very special… After travelling for about 7 months to date, Nepal was the high point of my trip. I would suggest to anyone thinking of trekking why not call in and meet the people at "Plan Journeys ". I am glad I did. It was like a dream, come true for me.

Thanks for all!
