A memorable experience thanks to ACE

Published on May, 2025

I must say it was a very important decision to be associated with ACE dor our EBC trip. Right from the start their advice for the trip was very helpful. We did helicopter ride to and fro Everest base camp. A special shout out to the 2 guides Mr. sushant ( main guide) and Mr. sauman ( assistant guide ). They went out of their way to make our trip comfortable and memorable. Highly recommend ACE.

Highly recommend Ace!

I was a little unsure of what to expect from this tour at first, but everything well exceeded my expectations. Every detail of then trip was accounted for and well planned and seamless. The guide (RAF) and the three super human porters were phenomenal. Unbelievably friendly and kind. The guide was very attentive, making sure that all the trekkers stayed on top of their water and fluid intake and was very knowledgeable about points of interest throughout the hike. This trip was an experience of a lifetime for me and I can’t thank Ace the Himalaya enough for bringing this dream to fruition for me.

Best experience of my life

Published on May, 2025

I had the best experience of my lifetime. Ace the Himalaya was referred to me by a friend and from initial discussions (with Sujan), the booking process, briefing and the tour was seamless. My guide Sunil N was fantastic. He went above and beyond to ensure that I reach my dream destination. He knew the mountain and trek very well and guided the team smoothly. He understood our capabilities very well. Keep up the great work Sunil and wishing you all the very best. My porter was TinTin. He is a very young talented person with a beautiful smile on his face all the time. He was looking after us at the teahouses and any stops during the day. This dedicated young man is eager to become an assistant guide. He has the potential and wishing him all the very best. Thank you Ace the Himalaya team for making this trip a success and a memorable one.

Amazing lifetime experience

Everest Base Camp trek with Heli return, small group

Published on Apr, 2025

The trip of a lifetime! Our guide Pasang made the trip the best it could possibly be, he was so knowledgeable and always attentive to how we were feeling during the trek, and overall an amazing guide! We could not have done it without him and the help of our superman porters, Dipak and Lochan. Ace the Himalaya made the whole experience extremely seamless, easy and stress free, we were truly in the best hands. Wouldn’t recommend anyone else, they were the best!!
