I am a solo traveller but prefer to do the trek in a group with other people instead of by myself. Are there any departure dates within a few days of Nov 5th with other people already booked?

Currently we don't have group dates available for Manaslu Circuit trek departing around 5th November. Let me know if you're flexible to travel in October.

What immunizations will I need?

No vaccinations are compulsory fro travelling in Bhutan, but we do recommend you are covered for diphtheria TB, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, *malaria, typhoid, polio and tetanus. We also recommend: · A dental check-up prior to travelling. · That you know your blood group in case of emergency. If you have any pre-existing medical conditions which might affect you on tour, you make these known to your tour leader and Ace the Himalaya at the time of your booking.

Can I obtain the visa for Nepal upon on arrival at the airport?

YES, US$ 25 or equivalent foreign currency is required to obtain Tourist Visa with Multiple Entry for 15 days. Likewise, tourist Visa with Multiple Entry for 30 days can be obtained by paying US $ 40 or equivalent foreign currency. Similarly, Tourist Visa with Multiple Entry for 90 days can be obtained by paying US $ 100. Please bring 2 copies of passport size photos.

I would like to extend my holiday, any recommendations?

Yes, there are a plenty of options and choices to extend your holiday before or after your main trip. Please go into our trip extension page for further information.

Do you use yaks/porters on the trek or do we carry all of our own gear?

Depending on the season. The luggage will be carried by porter or donkeys or both. All you need to carry is your small day bag for your personal belongings like camera, water bottle, sun cream etc only.

Can I add extra days to my trekking trip?

Holiday should never be about making it to the final point quickly. Along your trek, we can add days at your request with additional costs to cover guides, porters, accommodation and food.

Is Ace the Himalaya's staff insured?

Our company insures all our trekking staff members, including guides, cooks, Sherpas and porters. Please browse through Company Information pages to view insurance details.

What opportunities will I have for shower along the trek?

Yes, we provide you shower facilities during your trek. We setup a shower tent and provide you with Buckets of hot water.

Do I need to tip my guide and porters? How much would that be?

This is a difficult thing to gauge. We have seen everything from USD 20 to USD 1000 per person for guides and porters. Tipping is not required, but a small gesture of thanks to your guides and local porters. The level of the tip should reflect the level of satisfaction from and personal involvement with your guide. However, we recommend you to spend minimum 10% of your total trip cost for tipping entire local staffs, the ratio of tipping guide and porter will be given to you at the pre-trip meeting in Kathmandu before starting the trek.

How much additional money do I need per day?

It depends on your spending habits. Generally, in Kathmandu, you can allocate USD 10 to USD 15 for a lunch and a dinner. During the trekking all the meals, hot drinks are included, however USD 8 to USD 12 per person a day will be enough to buy chocolates, few drinks during the trekking.

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
