Trekking with Ace the Himalaya - The whole experience has been great: Ace were very well organised & took great care of their customers. Our guide Raj & his team of porters led by Kaji were the best we can ever ask for. Raj always made sure to check in on our well being, take care of our needs, and always encouraging us when the day gets tough. He’ll give us clear details of what to expect the next day & always patiently answering our questions. If I were to do any future treks in the Himalaya again, I’ll definitely go with Ace & I’ll definitely request to have Raj as my guide again 💪🏼

Book with ACE - Request Ram and Kalika as your guides. - If you’re considering, book with ACE. I was referred to ACE from my friend who I met in Doha, at the airport spa jacuzzi. She’s been around the world and I trusted her expertise! ACE was nothing but professional, with quick to answer email correspondence and state side representatives to advise in real time.
Our guides were Ram and Kalika. Ram, our lead guide, deserves the guide of the year award for 2024. Request both Ram and Kali as your guides. If they give out Assistant guides of the year awards, then Kali deserves one too. Ram and Kali were both more professional than most men I work with who suits and ties. Ram has an extremely calm and level headed demeanor, and his energy is infectious. He was greeted in every tea house and village with warm smiles and cheer. I 100% knew I was with the best of the best and felt incredibly safe at all times.
I went solo - and met 2 others solo in my group too. My group had the best people and made the adventure a complete success.
ACE includes all meals at the tea houses, hot coffees and teas, and to and from airport transportation. My heli flights were all managed my ACE - and Ram managed all 3 flights brilliantly.
I am so fortunate to have booked with ACE. It is going to be very difficult to top this trip! A successful adventure of a lifetime. I cannot speak more highly of ACE, a Nepali owned company, and everyone that works for them. Truly a class act.

Best company in Nepal! - I was very impressed with this company! They took care of everything from the moment we set down in Kathmandu.
The briefing was excellent, our guides Raj and Narayan looked after us attentively the entire trip, we felt cared for and informed throughout.
These two guides made the trip!
(Easy and hassle free)
Shout out to the porters Sher, Peshal, Dipak, Pradip and Bhupal these guys worked so hard and our bags were never misplaced!
We stayed in good tea house, ate well, had help keeping up moral on difficult treking days and I would most definitely book another trip with this company.
Thank you so much Ace for the trip of a lifetime!

Definitely a Must-Do! - I went on the Panorama trek, most of which was part of the EBC trek. For me, it was perfect. I went solo, but the people in my group bonded so well that it definitely didn’t feel like a solo trip. Our guides and porters were fantastic! I was a little nervous going into it, but it ended up being in my Top 3 favorite life experiences! If you’re thinking about doing this, DO IT. You won’t regret it!

Everest Heli Trek with Nimesh - SUCH an incredible experience. Our guide NIMESH was fantastic, providing help, information and humour at all the appropriate times. Couldn't recommend doing this tour, or any of the others, with Nimesh enough. The views and experience are unmatched. Don'tmiss out!

Everest Heli Trek - We were are group of eight men all of mixed ages & abilities from the UK. Nimesh who was our guide for the week, works for Acethehimalaya.
He met us at the airport & took us to our hotel in Kathmandu for the first night. His English & cultural knowledge of Nepal was excellent. He couldn’t have done more for the group, as he organised our itinerary including places to eat & any questions we had, all done with a great sense of humour professionalism & sincerity.
This was a bucket list holiday for us delivered by Nimesh, Dillip & Ace The Himalaya, which more than met all of our expectations.
We finished our holiday off with a helicopter trip to see Everest Base Camp before flying back into Lukla. What an experience!!!
Therefore having such a great holiday we are already looking at our next trip & would be insisting on having Nimesh as our guide. We really cannot find any points of criticism of this holiday.

Helicopter tour of Everest Base Camp - Ace The Himalaya took care of all the logistics and went over the helicopter tour at their business office the day before. The helicopter tour landed at Lukla Airport for a fuel. Then we headed to Kala Patthar for some quick photos at 5550m. Then we flew around the EBC region and got dropped off at View Everest Hotel for breakfast and some more amazing photo opportunities. After we flew back to Katmandu Airport and headed back to our hotel. I highly recommend Ace The Himalaya for all your tours and trekking needs while in Nepal.
