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 add extra days to my trip?

A 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.

What essential documents do I need to bring with me on tours?

Here are some documents that you will need to carry with you: · Valid Passport – must be valid for up to 6 months after you return from your tour, keep a separate photocopy. · Travel insurance, keep a separate photocopy · Cash and Traveller’s Cheques, keep numbers and proof of purchase separately · Flight tickets · Emergency contact numbers for T/C’s, banks, insurance, family contacts.

Are the Ace the Himalaya's staff insured?

Ace the Himalaya's insure all their staff members, including guides, cooks, Sherpas and porters.

Is the water fine to drink? Do I need to bring purifying tablets/filter?

Bottled water is available in all places. If you wish to drink normal water, you are suggested to use purifying aid, which you need to bring with you.

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

Tips are always expected. It is a small gesture of thanks to the field staff towards the end of the tour USD 20 per guide and USD 10 per driver per day is recommended per group, but it is entirely up to your wishes.

How much additional money do I need per day?

It depends on your spending habits. We estimate USD 12 to 20 a day will be enough to buy lunch, dinner, chocolates and a few drinks.

Can I use credit cards in the places I visit?

ATMs are available in Kathmandu and Pokhara. Major credit cards are accepted in all places but you need to pay 4% extra as bank levy, which might make cash more preferable.

Is there any communication while we are on tour?

There are telephones and Internet facilities available so you can always stay in contact with your family.

Can I charge my digital camera or other equipments on my trip?

These facilities are available in all the places in your hotel. Remember to bring your adapters!

I took the "Adventure Tour" solo which included some sight seeing, hikes, white water rafting, elephant riding, biking and largely just being engulfed in Nepalese culture. The country is beautiful and Ace the Himalaya ensured that I saw as much as possible in 11 days while always putting my safety first. The staff and guides were knowledgeable, friendly and made sure that my experience was as amazing as possible. I went in mid-December and I really can't imagine a more perfect time to visit. What else can I say? Book this trip! Show more

“"Nepal Multi Sports Adventure" - 10 Day Tour - AWESOME!” This trip was amazing, Ace did a wonderful job putting this together and went out of their way to accommodate us with any changes we needed when possible. (Not to mention answering all the questions we had before booking the trip.) From the time they picked us up at the airport to the time they dropped us off 12 days later we never felt unsafe. The driver was absolutely wonderful, how he's able to drive through that was unreal - you have to see it to believe it! They had everything planned for us and we even had time to venture out on our own. This is the first guided tour group we have booked with mainly because we like time to do things on our own, Ace was perfect for that. We even stayed an extra day so we could take a flight over Everest and Prem even sat that up for us. The only thing we wished we had known was how CHEAP you can purchase trekking gear for in Kathmandu. We could have packed light, gone with no gear, bought it there and brought it home with us to use here. Of course we still bought gear, but the extra baggage cost was brutal. You can't go wrong with this group. How many vacations can you say you went white water rafting, hiked up Sarangkot and woke up to a breathe taking view of the Annapurna range, para glided off that same mountain, took an Elephant Safari, played with a baby elephant, biked Kathmandu, jumped off a 524' high bridge to a 328 ft free fall Canyon Swing and flew over The Himalayas to see Everest (not to mention all the cultural sights along the way) - all in one trip! You can have all this and more with Ace the Himalaya. Turtlepg Elizabethton, Tennessee Show more
