These are reviews published on Google, not on Retreat Ledger.

  Highly Recommend!! My husband and I completed the Everest Base Camp Trek with Ace the Himalaya from 6–20 June 2026, and it became one of the most memorable experiences of our lives. A huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Raj N., and our porters, Sanjay and Dipak. From the moment we arrived in Kathmandu, everything was well organized. We were picked up at the airport and attended a pre-trip briefing. Since we were trekking during the monsoon season, the team explained weather-related risks and discussed backup transportation plans in case flights were affected. This gave us confidence before the journey even began. Throughout the trek, Raj took exceptional care of us. He constantly checked on our well-being, reminded us to stay hydrated, monitored how we were sleeping, and provided practical advice to help us acclimatize safely. Every evening, he would check in on how we were feeling, discuss any issues, and brief us on the next day’s plan. We always felt supported, informed, and well prepared. What impressed us most was how well Raj managed our group despite everyone’s different trekking speeds and abilities. Although we started as a group of two, two additional trekkers joined along the way. He ensured everyone received the support and guidance they needed, making sure nobody felt rushed and nobody felt left behind. Beyond being an excellent guide, Raj was also great company. During acclimatization days and evenings at the tea houses, we shared many laughs and even played Uno together. His positive attitude made every day enjoyable, regardless of the weather or trekking challenges. The true test came at the end of the trek when poor weather repeatedly delayed flights out of Lukla. Rather than simply waiting and hoping, Raj quickly arranged an alternative plan so we could catch our international flight home. We hiked to Surke, traveled by jeep to Salleri, and continued overland to Kathmandu. He openly discussed all available options, personally accompanied us throughout the journey, and remained calm and reassuring despite the long hours and difficult road conditions. Thanks to his planning and commitment, we arrived in Kathmandu with enough time to rest, repack, and comfortably make our flight home. I would also like to thank Sanjay and Dipak. They were hardworking, kind, and always smiling despite carrying heavy loads throughout the trek. Their efforts played a huge role in making this journey successful and enjoyable. Finally, thank you to Ace the Himalaya for running such a professional operation. Communication was excellent from the beginning, all of our questions were answered clearly, and we felt confident in our decision to book with them. If you’re considering trekking to Everest Base Camp, I highly recommend Ace the Himalaya and, if you’re lucky enough to get him, Raj N. and his team. Their professionalism, care, and genuine hospitality made this journey truly unforgettable. Best for: Couples, friends, families, and anyone looking for a well-organized, supportive, and personalized trekking experience. Thank you, Raj, Sanjay, and Dipak, for helping make this an unforgettable adventure in the Himalayas. We hope to trek with you again someday! 🙏🏔️🇳🇵

  ​Completed the EBC + Gokyo trek with Ace the Himalaya and it was a mindblowing experience. The immense patience, constant encouragement, and support showed by Ace's crews throughout the trip are the reasons we were able to complete this trek. This journey left us with unforgettable lifetime memories. Huge THANKs to our lead guide, Nimesh; asst. guide, Sauman for taking such amazing care of us every single step of the way! And, special mention must go to the HEROes behind the scene, our porters - Lochan, Dipak, Jiwan and Arjun, who were the true backbone of this expedition, carrying our gear and supporting us every single day. This was my second trek in Nepal with Ace the Himalaya, and even before it started, I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. Highly, highly recommend! 👍🏻

  We couldn’t recommend Ace the Himalaya more highly. Everything was coordinated seamlessly, from the fast and helpful responses to our questions before booking, to airport transfers, accommodation, meals, and the trek itself. The hotels were excellent, and Ace happily accommodated any requests we had, including an extra night in Kathmandu and organising all of our rental gear. We had a wonderful experience trekking to Annapurna Base Camp with Milan, our guide, and Kaleej, our porter. Milan’s 20+ years of experience truly showed. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and always happy to help, making us feel safe, welcome, and well looked after throughout the trek. He was always available to answer questions and genuinely made us feel special during the trip — we felt exceptionally well cared for compared to other trekking groups we encountered. Kaleej was also fantastic — friendly, hardworking, and consistently helpful. He always made sure we felt looked after, particularly when arriving at accommodation and during meal times. We highly recommend Ace the Himalaya, Milan, and Kaleej, and would absolutely book with them again!

  Our Everest Base Camp, Cho La Pass, and Gokyo Heli trek with Ace the Himalayas was truly a once‑in‑a‑lifetime journey. The team’s professionalism, care, and expertise shone through from beginning to end of treks. Our guide Nimesh was very knowledgeable, patient, and attentive—always ensuring we were safe, acclimatized, and inspired. The rest of his team, the assistant guide Sauman and the porters namely Lochan, Dipak, Jiwan and Arjun worked tirelessly with smiles that lifted our spirits. Logistics were seamless, from accommodations to meals, making the challenging treks feel smooth and well‑supported. Highly recommend Ace the Himalayas to anyone dreaming of the Himalayas—professional service, heartfelt support, and memories that will last forever.

  I had a great experience doing the Everest Base Camp trek with Ace the Himalaya. Everything was well organized from start to finish, including the Lukla flight and logistics along the route. It was a hard but managable 12 days Trek. My lovely Guide Raj and my Porter Dambar where super helpfull and always friendly, i felt very safe and comfortable. Dambar helped me to carry my Daybag on the day when we reached the Basecamp, otherwise im not sure if i would made it there. Raj is the best Guide with a very good knowledge and a lot of experience, he was always taken care and it was super funny with him. The whole ACE team were very friendly, professional, and always made sure im safe, especially at higher altitudes. I felt well taken care of the entire time. The trek itself is challenging but absolutely worth it – the views are unforgettable. Highly recommend this company for anyone planning the EBC trek! I will come back to do a other Trek and i will book it again with ACE. Thank you so much
