Hello I was wondering which hotel you stay in while in Kathmandu please?

You will be staying either at Hotel Thamel House or Hotel Jampa in Kathmandu. These are the 3-star category hotels and located in Thamel, Kathmandu.

I would like to plan an Everest base camp trek staying in the luxury tea houses like Yeti mountain house. I would like one porter per person and one guide for the group. We would also like to helicopter down from basecamp instead of trekking back. Any sample itineraries and estimated costs would be great!

We would be very happy to organize the Luxury Everest Base Camp trek with heli return from Gorakshep to Lukla for your group. Price is USD 2,800 per person for 4 people booking. Includes round-trip airfare, helicopter ride from Gorakshep to Lukla, porter services, accommodations, meals during trek, permits, and guide.

Honestly I was a bit sceptical given all the glowing reviews and all the fake reviews that seem to be out there these days, but ACE were truely fantastic. I arrived in Nepal just after the riots during the final day of lockdown and it was very calm and peaceful. Everyone was very happy to see tourists and the place was very clean. I was supposed to do the Everest Base Camp trek but bad weather cancelled all flights including helicpoters to Lukla, so our group decided to do ABC instead. Throughout the process both Sujan in the office and our guide Ram were very professional and made sure we understood all the options. They picked me up from the airport even though I arrived early and was staying at a different hotel, and then picked me up again to transfer me to the group trek hotel. What I really liked about ACE, and the main reasons I chose them was that they are a local company with extremely experienced guides (15+ years), but also they actually include things that many of the other big operators like Intrepid and G do not, like nearly all meals, as much filtered water as we wanted as well as hot drinks. This to me made a huge difference overall. The food was also varied and actually very good at all the teahouses. It certainly wasnt Dal Bhat every meal. It was at times even too much food. I think I actually put on weight during the trek. The porters were also always friendly and smiling, helping out with food and filtered water. The trek itself was more geueling than I anticipated with a lot of stairs and a lot of up and down compared to Everest, but we had clear days and excellent mountain views at the top. Seriously, if you are looking for value for money and a professional local operator you will not go wrong choosing ACE.Show more

Once in a lifetime experience! Went in April and the weather was sunny with temperatures dropping as we got higher. The organisation right from the start was excellent. Everything worked like clockwork throughout. The pre-trek briefing prepared us for the trip and the Kathmandu hotel was first class. The Porters actually did the hard work and seemed to make it look easy! For me though the guy who really made it an extraordinary adventure was our Guide: Milan. Nothing was too much trouble, he coaxed and cajoled us when the going was tougher and set a pace that meant that we all made Base Camp. Absolutely one of the nice guys! Fab company and fab crew!Show more

Guide Pasang Dawa Sherpa - An Amazing Man! By: Larry C In completing the challenging trek to Mt. Everest Base Camp in October 2022 with Ace the Himalaya, we were so blessed to have Pasang Dawa Sherpa as our guide! Pasang was absolutely amazing! He not only led us every step of the way, but he was always so positive and encouraging. Pasang literally guided us from our hotel in Katmandu, riding with us on the long, winding road to Manthali for the flight to Lukla, then following our trek to Everest Base Camp, and Mt. Kalapathar, he remained with us all the way back to Kathmandu. The following day, we met with him for a celebratory dinner, and he presented us with special certificates for completing the trek successfully. During the trek, Pasang took care of all arrangements, even helping serve our meals and making sure we all remained healthy and acclimatized to the high altitude trekking. Pasang is such a friendly, humble man, but he always took charge of everything, and every village we came to he was so well known and respected by everyone. Pasang had a great sense of humor and an unlimited knowledge of the mountains, the cultures, the religions, and the history of the Khumbu Region we were hiking through. He was such a great guide in every way, and I would feel so privileged to follow his lead again when I make my next trip to Nepal. Larry ComptonShow more
