"Exceptional Guidance and Support on the Everest Trek"

Ace the Himalayas Team
Guide: Pasang Sherpa
Porters: Hira, Gombu, Rabin

What an unreal experience—truly the trip of a lifetime!

Our guide, Pasang Sherpa, was absolutely incredible. He was always attentive and managed to turn what should have been an extremely challenging journey into something that felt both achievable and rewarding. Pasang was a wealth of knowledge, confidently answering every single question we threw at him (and believe me, there were plenty!).

On a more personal note, Pasang really went above and beyond for me. After reaching Everest Base Camp, I wasn’t feeling well and had to stay behind as the rest of the team, along with the porters, began the trek back to Dingboche. Pasang stayed with me, ensuring I was taken care of. He organized my food and water while I drifted in and out of sleep and even stepped in to cover the cost of a horse when I was short on cash to get me to the next stop. He didn’t once ask for repayment and probably wouldn’t have brought it up if I hadn’t done so myself. Pasang is, without a doubt, the best guide I’ve ever had in all my travels.

Pasang’s reliability didn’t stop there. Thanks to his local connections and calm demeanor, we managed to catch the last flight out of Lukla on our return—right before the weather turned and canceled all subsequent flights. He kept us informed, managed expectations, and ensured everything ran smoothly.

The porters—Hira, Gombu, and Rabin—were equally outstanding. Hira accompanied us for the entire hike, radiating positivity and energy that kept our spirits high, even during the most grueling parts of the trek. Despite the intense physical demands of carrying heavy loads, Hira never showed signs of fatigue and always had a smile on his face. Gombu and Rabin brought the same incredible energy, constantly going out of their way to assist with any issues we faced. Their support was invaluable; we all agreed that we couldn’t have made it to Everest Base Camp without them.

Ace the Himalayas, along with Pasang, Hira, Gombu, and Rabin, made this experience unforgettable. If I ever trek the Himalayas again, I wouldn’t hesitate to request the same team—they are simply the best!

Overall, this was an incredible trip, and I’m already looking forward to planning another trek with Ace in the years to come.

"The entire experience was incredible"

The entire experience was incredible, from start to finish. Everything was organised for us by Ace the Himalaya, including accommodation, food while trekking, internal flights and helicopters. Our guide Rajendra Neupane was very experienced, spoke fluent English and had completed the trek many times, so provided really good advice and briefings, so we knew what to expect. Our porters were all amazing, big shout out to Narayan, Pesal & Mahendra. The trip would not be possible without them. Highly recommend the trek and using a company like Ace the Himalaya to facilitate the journey. It’s a physically challenging trek, and the food and accommodation are basic, but the people and the views make it worthwhile.

"Brilliant experience, will be back for more!"

After researching routes and trekking companies we settled on the Gokyo lakes trip with Ace the Himalaya. We couldn't be happier with the trekking company, specifically our guide Raj who was part cheerleader, counsellor, chief motivation officer 😉, and all round fixer. Whether it was checking in on us after a hard day, or getting helicopters organised at the airport so ensure a smooth trip Raj was on top of everything. Big credit to Ace for all the organisation for getting us up and down safely. We did come across other people who weren't using a trekking company, and they immediately noticed the advantage that we experienced. Other groups during the trek also commented on how good Raj was as they listened into our briefings around dinner, after a long day hiking , or at breakfast when we were preparing to leave. A huge mention to the porters who carried our gear, walked with us, and helped us with a successful trip. They are Elite humans. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ace the Himalaya, Raj as an amazing guide, Narayan as the best porter we could have wished for, and Ace in general for organising the trip and the route itself. The research paid off, we had an amazing time, and will be back

"ACE the Himalayas"

ACE, our guide Sushanta and porters Milan, Hem and Indra were fabulous. Changing weather and group conditions meant everyone had to be flexible. Sushanta and Ace made things happen and provided solutions that enabled us to complete our trek, get to EBC and have the best experience possible for a trip of a lifetime. Their advice and guidance was on point - from what was the best food to eat at different tea houses, to timings for our trek, advice on what to wear and why each day and overseeing our health - when to take Diamox and pacing ourselves on the walk. The porters were not only carrying our gear but also assisting in acclimitisation days helping up the peaks and ensuring we were all safe. Sushanta is also a pretty good photographer - knowing the good spots for the best shots! Would totally recommend ACE, Sushanta and the porters.

"Exceptional Service! "

My wife and I embarked on the Everest Base Camp (EBC) Trek with Ace the Himalaya, commencing in mid-October. We were immensely grateful for our choice of Ace the Himalayas, as they demonstrated exceptional professionalism, accessibility, and responsiveness. Their proactive approach to providing weather updates, flight delays, and alternative options was invaluable.

Despite our flights from Ramechhap being canceled due to inclement weather conditions, Ace the Himalayas swiftly offered alternative helicopter options for the following day. This assistance was particularly noteworthy, as we noticed that hikers from other companies encountered difficulties in securing alternative arrangements that were also affected by the weather.

Our guide, Nimesh, and assistant guide, Sher, were exceptional. Sher meticulously paced the group, ensuring their well-being and providing essential supplies at tea houses. Nimesh, the head guide, was constantly attentive to our needs, guiding us safely and efficiently despite our altitude sickness. His knowledge of the Himalayas, photographic skills, friendly demeanor, and understanding nature made him an invaluable companion.

The porters, Vishal, Suman, Aayush, and Arun, played a crucial role in carrying our heavy loads and assisting us on various hikes. Their unwavering support and expertise were instrumental in our successful completion of the trek.

Nimesh, along with the operations team at Ace the Himalaya, swiftly arranged our evacuation from Gorakshep on the day we concluded our EBC trek. Ace the Himalaya’s comprehensive team ensures the well-being of its clients at every tea house, stopover, and transportation point, including airports, helicopters, and city drives.
Prior to the hike, they conducted a comprehensive session where Prem Khatry addressed us and provided us with exceptional gear. If you require gear rentals, they offer the finest selection. We utilized their sleeping bags, specifically rated for -15 degrees Celsius, which proved indispensable for ensuring restful nights throughout the trek.
They also organized a memorable farewell dinner and presented us with certificates of completion. Additionally, they consistently secure the most suitable hotel accommodations.
We are immensely grateful for our decision to choose Ace the Himalaya, and we are fortunate to have Nimesh as our guide. Their expertise and over two decades of experience in the Himalayas are truly exceptional.

Nimesh and Sher took really good care of us and made sure we had a great experience and everything we need.
They were well connected and always in good mood, even when it got hard

Thanks to our porters (Bishal, Suman, Arun, Aayush) as well.
Without all of them we wouldn’t have made it

Special shoutout to the porters - Vishal, Suman, Aayush, Arun who did the heavy lifting for us. They even accompanied us on many hikes and helped us with our backpack on the last day and helped me navigate the rocks.

We are so happy we chose Ace the Himalaya, and super lucky that Nimesh was able to guide us. They’re simply the best and have over 20+ years of experience in the Himalayas.

"Ace the Himalaya and Ram are 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.

"Peak Adventures with Ace The Himalaya - a trek that will leave you on top of the world!"

I recently completed the Everest Base Camp trek with Ace The Himalaya, and it was a thrilling, unforgettable experience! The trek was challenging at times but stress-free, thanks to our fantastic guides Raj Kumar and Kali, and the porter team led by Govinda. Our group of eight had varying trekking and altitude experience, but the pace was always just right. Raj and Kali made sure to regularly check on our health and wellbeing, which was a great comfort at high altitudes.

Raj’s deep knowledge of the region, its history, and the stunning landscapes we were hiking through added so much to the experience. Kali’s years as a porter meant he knew some fantastic shortcuts that helped us dodge crowded trails, making the trek feel even more personal and adventurous.
Raj truly went above and beyond when he heard I my room at one of the tea houses wasn't great. Even though the place was fully booked, he somehow managed to find me a better room. His attention to detail and dedication to our comfort was exceptional.

Each morning, we simply packed our bags and left them in our rooms, and by the time we reached the next stop, they were already waiting for us. Thanks to Govinda and his team, we could just focus on enjoying the journey.

And wow! What a journey! The Everest Base Camp trek is a breathtaking, high-altitude adventure through the majestic Himalayas, with jaw-dropping scenery and a unique cultural experience along the way. Hiking on the Khumbu glacier, crossing suspension bridges, and trekking through small villages with the looming presence of Mt. Everest and the Khumbu Valley—it’s truly an awe-inspiring round trip.

I recommend booking the EBC trek with Ace The Himalaya. And if you want the best experience possible, insist on Raj and Kali as your guides! You won’t regret it.
