Everest Base Camp trek made easy thanks to Sunil! - This trip was everything I expected and so much more! Not only did I get to see Everest in real life and arrive at EBC after a long trek, which was what I expected, but it was the unexpected that blew me away.
Firstly, how it wasn't as difficult physically as I expected it to be. I think that was largely due to the patient and supportive nature of our amazing guide Sunil (16+ years doing this!) who always had a smile on his face, a relaxed countenance, and encouraged us to go slowly (Bistari! Bistari!) and take regular breaks to rest and hydrate. As he said to us often, he made the hard seem easy. This meant that I was able to make it to EBC without even a blister or strained muscle.
Secondly, this trek was more about the journey than the destination. The breathtaking and ever-changing scenery that we saw on the trek up, the wonderful people that we met along the way, the culture and traditions that we learnt about, and the opportunity to have precious quiet, thinking time to reflect on your life and bring everything into perspective when you are experiencing a bucket list moment. That's priceless and life-changing.
Lastly, I would absolutely recommend this trek to everyone considering it, and would strongly suggest that you go with an experienced and professional company such as Ace, and a legendary guide such as Sunil, to help you achieve your dream

Truly Amazing EBC trip - What an amazing journey to Everest base camp, it was exciting, challenging and exhilarating.
Our Guide Milan and Porter Sher made the trip enjoyable with their constant support and good humour. They looked after us and gave us information on every part of the trip.
We had such great weather blue sky and sunshine, the last 3 days the temperature dropped to -21C and it snowed. The snow made the Himalayas look even more beautiful and though it was cold I really liked the snow clad mountains.
I am very grateful to both Milan and Sher for making this trip unforgettable for us.

Trip of a lifetime to Everest Base Camp - Highly recommend this company!
We had a wonderful time in EBC hiking. The owner Prem and his company provided excellent and professional arrangements and services which were way beyond our expectations, we will definitely use this company again and again.
The trip was amazing! The views were breathtaking. Best of all were our tour guide Ram, who is smart, knowledgeable and motivating, making our hiking smooth and safe, who always takes very good care of us. Also a big thank you to our porters Dilip and Share.

Excellent guiding company - I highly recommend booking Ace the Himalaya for the Everest Base Camp trek. Their communication throughout our journey was excellent -- they were quick to answer questions and resolve issues before the trip, during the trek, and even afterwards when I requested documentation for insurance purposes. We ended up having a two day delay at the end of the trip due to weather (it happens), and Ace the Himalaya handled the situation as well as you can expect. Our guide Resham was also fantastic. He was very knowledgeable about the region's history, always on time, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the journey. Thanks Resham for a great trip!

EBC with ACE - It was my first multi day trek and I chose EBC with Ace. The overall experience was amazing and exceeded beyond my expectations. Breathtaking views of Himalayas and the views only get better as you go higher up. My personal favorite was experiencing Khumbu Glacier which is beyond Everest Base Camp rock.
Huge thanks to our guide, Ram! Super friendly, knowledgeable and well experienced. Would love to go on other treks in this region with him being our guide.

Everest Base Camp - I just completed the Everest Base Camp trek, and it was fantastic! Our guide, Ram, was exceptional—professional, supportive, and incredibly knowledgeable. His attention to detail and encouragement during the challenging sections made all the difference. The breathtaking views were unforgettable, and having Ram as our guide enhanced the experience immensely. Highly recommend this trek, especially with Ram!

Ace the Himalaya and Ram the best - This was a phenomenal trip. Our guide (Ram) and assistant guide were experts in the area and in high altitude trekking. Traveling in Nepal can be stressful due to weather conditions particularly at Lukla, but Ace was adaptable and well connected to get the trip done. I think there is a great benefit going with a Nepalise based company, and Ace handled complicated logistics perfectly.
It was my 40th birthday, so Ram and his team actually brought up a cake to Everest Basecamp and we had a dance party in the Khumbu Icefall! They made my 40th birthday, infinitely special. Ram was also so personable we all wanted to be around him, a true friend. The assistant guide was so joyful and hard working, taking care of us every step of the way.
Consider helicopter as the most reliable way into and out of Lukla.
Could not recommend Ace the Himalaya enough.

Customer for life! - I am so glad we booked Ace the Himalaya for our EBC Trek. I made my decision based on all of the great reviews and also how quickly Sujan responded to my questions while crafting a custom itinerary that comprised of both the Helicopter return from Gorakshep and luxury accommodations (which was worth every $ in the constrained mountain resources).
Our guide, Resham and porter, Ashkumar, were amazing. Resham was so accommodating and knowledgeable throughout the trek, teaching us so much about not only the mountains but also Nepalese culture.
Above all, I really appreciated how the entire Ace team reiterated the unpredictability of mountain weather and level set expectations early on because we had amazing weather on the entire trek but then got fogged in on our last day so the helicopter return was delayed. Resham worked so diligently with the Ace team to find every possible solution for us. The CEO himself got involved to get us an extra leg back to Kathmandu (at no charge) so we could make our international connection home [to the US]. In retrospect, I feel like we paid a really fair price for the service that Ace provided. Each employee is highly competent and they work together like a well-oiled machine. Despite having so many clients during peak trekking season, Ace takes accountability for each guest and I am recommending them to all of my friends who are considering this trip.

Amazing EBC trek, Thanks to Ace the Himalaya!!! - We had an incredible experience on the Everest Base Camp (EBC) trek. The support from our trip organizer, Ace the Himalaya, was outstanding. Our guides, Ram, Kalika, and the rest of the team, went above and beyond to ensure the trek was smooth and enjoyable. On Day 7, we encountered a severe snowstorm, but thanks to the guidance and assistance of the Ace the Himalaya team, we were able to push through and complete the trek. I highly recommend Ace the Himalaya and will definitely choose them for my next adventure in Nepal.
