First Trek in Nepal - The experience was excellent, the package covered absolutely everything you could think of, and made very easy to just go. The guide and porter I was assigned were very very nice, and made the experience very smooth. My guide (Raj) is very talkative, and loves to interact with passers by, so it won’t feel like you are isolated and unable to interact with other people on your trek, he loves to joke around and will keep the trip very upbeat, but still make it seamlessly smooth, and organize anything you could possibly need. He will even give you a meditation session or council you if you need to get your mind right. My porter (Bishal) is such a nice guy, he might come across as a touch shy at first, but I think this is because he isn’t as strong at speaking English. But he is a very nice guy, always positive, upbeat and incredibly strong up the mountains. He even does so many little things such as cleans up after you at meals, and is always willing to help. It was my first time in Nepal, and even though the people are very friendly having a good guide makes the experience very easy. Do you need something? The office will book it for you, whether it’s a plane ride, taxi, or just about anything, they are even flexible to your own personal day schedule and plans. When traveling you often have to worry about many many different things but this made it very easy, I just had to make sure I booked my flights, visa, and had the right gear, that's just about it. The Annapurna Base Camp Trek itself is amazing, but doing it with so much provided will save you days/weeks of planning. Would definitely recommend.

Best ever guide to explore Nepsl Himilayas - What an amazing experience. Only made possible because of Ace Himilaya arranging it. Then our group had the best luck ever to get Milan as our guide. This man and his 3 Sharpas couldn't do enough 4 our group. We where taken care of like blood family. Our safety , health and well been was Milan and teams top priority. Milan's knowledge and experience was amazing. Seeing Nepal through his eyes took this experience to the next level. Then there was Gambu, Bishal and Suresh our Sharpas. Man these guys should be platinum Olympic medalist. Our trek was stunning but no joke and when we struggled these guys would take even our backpacks together with the loads they already had hanging from their heads. Guys you all have become brothers from the world roof and Nepal. Our future planned trips to Nepal will definitely have Ace Himilaya at the very top of our list who we going to use and we will not settle for anything less than Milan Athikari . This man should be made minister of tourism in Nepsl.what a asset to his company ,country industry and the people of Nepal.

Annapurna and tilicho lake trek - Me and my partner wanted to do the Annapurna circuit trek and after some recommendations from some Swiss couple we came across Ace. It was a pleasant time planning in the office in Thamel and we added the tilicho lake after their recommendation. A few days later we were picked up by our Guide Rajan and we took the Jeep towards Chame, Manang. It was a bumpy but interesting/scenic ride as Rajan told us about the locals and their agriculture. They recommended us to slowly acclamatise and as such we stayed in upper Pisang and Ngawal. It was amazing walking through the pine forests and experiencing the local Tibetan culture. A guide really helps in making connections with them. On our acclimatisation day in Manang we went to a lovely monastery while it was snowing and had the best meditation at 4000 meter. The tilicho lake a few days later was the highlight of the trip with the spectacular ice wall of tilicho peak! All in all I recommend Ace the Himalaya and Raj to anyone who wants to do the Annapurna circuit. We also took a porter, Suka, who was very considerate with not only our luggage but also our well being. If you have never experienced high altitude it's much safer to be with an experienced guide who can worry for you for altitude sickness and mountain weather. Furthermore, Raj has been willing to adhere to all our requests and change of plans. To close, a few tips: - bring/hire a sleeping bag in april and May. It makes it much more comfortable. It will be cold in afternoon when the sun usually dissapears. - high shoes, as we have seen some one with a sprained ankle on the thorung la pass. ( saved by locals horses, which is cheaper if you don't have insurance) - you can buy snacks everywhere. - bring some warm down jacket just in case. - take the time to learn the habits and ways of the local people. You will be rewarded with a more pleasant experience.

Epic adventure on the Annapurna Circuit with Ace the Himalaya! - Epic adventure on the Annapurna Circuit with Ace the Himalaya! AC varied with truly breathtaking scenery and interesting cultures and people - we felt it showcased a bit of everything of Nepal. Absolutely professional trekking company in Ace from our first contact with Sujan in the Kathmandu office to organising all the finer details of our trek including allaying any concerns about high altitude trekking with 2 children (12 & 15 yrs), to meeting our wonderful guide Janardan (Janu) and our strong and skilful porter team of Dilip, Vess and Limbu Dai. Everyone was just amazing. Dilip in particular was a great friend to our son. A very special mention for our guide Janu - when he started speaking with us at our pre-trek meeting, I knew we had a winner. His knowledge of the mountains and trekking, his friendly nature, his support and his tireless efforts to make our experience safe, comfortable and of course memorable, was second to none. We sincerely regard Janu as a friend. Thank you Janu, Dilip, Vess, Limbu Dai and Ace.

Great trek around the Annapurna from Tal to Jomsom - Just great... We did the circuit with a Group of four people. The trip was booked via "Himalaya Tours Switzerland" and operated by "Ace the Himalaya". It was a great experience, our guide Shyam and his team did a really great job! They were always happy and helped us with everything. The choice of the lodges was always good and much better than expected. Also the food in the chosen lodges was really good. The highlight was of course the "Thorong La Pass" with the impressive altitude of 5416m above sea level! We were so lucky to have always good weather until we reached our daily lodge. So we had the chance to see all the beautiful landscape and mountains. I would definitely recommend this trip because it has a great range of trekking and tradition. Thanks to the team (Shyam, Nima and Suke) for everything and all the best!

Ace The Himalaya Annapurna Circuit Trek - My experience with Ace The Himalaya from start to finish was excellent. My guide and porter Shyam and Nima made my toughest personal challenge, the experience of a lifetime. If you're lucky enough to participate in this trek and you get these 2 guys, I assure you will have been very lucky. Amazing knowledge of the locations, exceptional advice and care and most of all,2 of the nicest lovely human beings you could meet. The trek itself is out of this world though quite hard in places and I fully advise everyone to experience it for themselves.

Annapurna Circuit - a perfect trip with two perfect companions (Sunil and Kaliz!) - Ace the Himalaya was incredibly professional and easy to work with. I booked and planned my whole trip just 6 days in advance and it went off without a hitch! Most importantly, my guide and porter (Sunil and Binod aka "Kaliz") were absolutely top notch! Incredibly thoughtful, well-connected throughout the route, and generally great friends along the way. We were an amazing trio and I couldn't recommend them more! It really felt like I had two guides and I will definitely be back for another trip.

Wonderful trip with a professional local company and great guides and porters - This is the second trip with have done with Ace (also did EBC with them 2 years ago) and once again the service was top class. The communication from Sujan via email prior to arrival in Kathmandu was quickly responded to and helpful, even altering the set itinerary by a day to accommodate our dates in Nepal. Our guide (Milan) was fantastic - could not fault a thing about him across the 2.5 weeks! He was friendly, kept us safe on the mountain, nothing was too much trouble to make our experience the best it could be. Milan also helped alter our itinerary whilst on the route to spend an extra day in Pokhara which was much appreciated. Milan was very knowledgable about all the surrounding mountains and told us a lot about the local cultures which only enriched our experience. Our porter (Kaleej) was also super helpful. He was friendly all the time and was a great support on the mountain when walking. Kaleej’s had great knowledge of the route. Ace provided us with duffle bags, suncaps and fold out maps of our route - all to keep and take home, which is a nice touch. Overall a brilliant trip once again with Ace - first class service from a local company. We would certainly not hesitate to book another trip with Ace again!

Excellent company with fantastic staff - Me and my girlfriend did the Annapurna Circuit with Ace after having done Everest Base Camp with them two years ago. The experience was fantastic and just as good as our first trip, and we’d definitely go with the company again. Our guide Milan and our porter Kaleej were extremely helpful and friendly all throughout our trip, and helped make the experience unforgettable. They also kept us safe at all times and always made sure that we were drinking, eating, and sleeping enough to ensure we had a successful trip. They were also very knowledgeable on the local area, mountains, and culture. We expected basic facilities on the trek but were actually pleasantly surprised with the great standard of accommodation and food all around the circuit, despite the remoteness and high altitude. Overall the trek was excellent value for money and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ace the Himalaya, and Milan and Kaleej, to anyone looking to visit Nepal.
