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.

Where do we toilet along the trail? Is it similar to Kilimanjaro and just wherever we can find privacy?

At most cases you can use the toilet provided by the tea houses/lodges on the trail but normally in case of emergency, you just do toilet along the trail wherever you find privacy.

Is Ace the Himalaya's staff insured?

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

What opportunities will I have for shower along the trek?

In major places (Namche Bazar, Lukla), we arrange guesthouse with hot shower. And in rest of the places, hotel water in bucket will be provided for shower; it would cost you extra about USD 3-4 per shower.

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. USD 15 to USD 18 per person a day will be enough to buy bottles of water, chocolates, pay for the hot shower and a few drinks during the trekking.

Can I use credit cards in the places I visit in trekking?

In the cities, yes – to some extent. Once you are out of the cities, all you need is cash. Please change the currency in local Nepali Rupees before you go to the mountains.

Is there any communication while we are on trekking?

There are telephones in some villages along the trekking routes from which you can make international calls. All our guides are equipped with the local mobile phone. You may wish to pass the number of our guide to your family for the callback or you can make a call from the guide’s mobile and pay him directly for the international call too.

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

These facilities will be available in most of the places in your hotel reception by paying some service charges. Remember to bring TWO and THREE pin travel adapters!

Do we book our own international flights to and from Nepal?

Yes, you need to book your own International flights. We are a local agent and it would cost you significantly higher to book through us. Please find more information in the International Flight page.

Thank you to our Nepalese friend and tour operator Tilak, guide Pasang, and porter Raj for their excellent support during my stay in Nepal. I had a wonderful time with you guys. Without your supporting team, my trek to Everest Base Camp wouldn't have been possible. I have shared my photos with my friends. And they are very jealous looking at the photos. Some of them want to do the same trek we did. So, I have forwarded your website; they will contact you soon.Show more

Bhairam (excellent manager), Mahendra (our supper friendly and competent guide during the trek), and Sujan and Dinesh offered a very personal and friendly service which made the experience memorable and enjoyable.

The trek from Lukla to Everest Base Camp was an unforgettable experience of our life time, which was one of the highlights of our trips in 2017. Our guides and porters were awesome; they were very helpful and friendly. They provided best available lodges / guests houses on the trek; and very nice hotel during our stay in Kathmandu. The meals they provided us on the trek was varieties of choices. Last but not least, one of the highlights of our trip was cultural farewell dinner at Bhojan Griha in Kathmandu. In overall, the trek was fantastic thanks to Nepal Hiking and their friendly staffs.Show more
