From trekking, peak climbing and mountaineering to rafting, wildlife safari, cultural tours and other activities, Ace the Himalaya has an option for all kinds of outdoor lovers. We are proud to showcase the Himalayas to the world and take your journey beyond the ordinary! Ace specializes in hiking, trekking, mountaineering, rafting, wildlife safaris, mountain biking, cultural tours, and specialty itineraries (honeymoon, photography, festivals, voluntourism and student). Ace offers both, pre-planned itineraries and custom travel planning services. Our average group size has eight clients and two guides. Ace can also accommodate large groups, having worked with student groups of up to 80 travelers. We now have packages for ‘Voluntourism’, which stands for volunteering while traveling. Also, we have just started a special marriage package in traditional Nepalese custom for the couples on a holiday in Nepal.

- How much additional money do I need per day?
You don’t need much money in the village. You need to change the USD in Kathmandu into local currency before going into the village or the mountains. You can change the money easily from the banks and money exchange counters nearby your hotels.
- How is toilet facility in the village?
During your stay in a tented camp in village, we will provide you a common tented toilet. While in Kathmandu, the hotel will offer the room with attached toilet and bathroom.
- What are the bathing and laundry facilities like in the village?
In the village area, there are no private facilities for bathing and washing clothes. There are spring water creeks, rivers and communal water source available for bathing and washing. While in Kathmandu, the hotel offers the attached bathroom with hot and cold water.
We will provide the shower tent for those who want to have private shower near by the camp especially for our female volunteers. Depending on the weather our kitchen team will prepare the bucket of hot water for the shower. - 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.
- Is there any electricity/communication/Internet while we are in the village?
Only recently has the village started receiving electricity but after the deadly earthquake the hydropower has been damaged and charging facilities are not possible in the village of Gorkha. But the local authority is trying their best to repair the damaged so they can offer electricity to the village. Our guide will have the local mobile phone with him and he will be in contact with us frequently.
In Kathmandu, the hotel provides the free Wi-Fi service and electricity.
During the trek, the local mobile phones work almost every day. Some towns do offer the Internet service but you have to pay for it. The electricity charging facilities are available in Annapurna trekking route. We also recommend our volunteers to buy an NCELL Sim Card so that they can use internet and phone calls from their own mobile phone. USD 50 is sufficient for this entire trip. Our guide from Ace the Himalaya will be more than happy to make this arrangement for you so please do coordinate. - Do your guides have Tour guide certificates from the Hotel Management and Tourism Center?
Yes, they have all received a 45-days training from the Hotel Management and Tourism Center in Nepal. The guides have also received high altitude first aid training from KEEP (Kathmandu Environmental Education Project). Please check our Guides Profiles and Training Certificates.
- What is the language preference?
The main language is Nepali. English is the official second language of Nepal, but despite this, young students in the village speak only broken English, and the older generations will not speak at all. It is for this reason that we recommend you learn some basic Nepali phrases before arriving in the village. It will help you communicate and get to know the villagers, as well as explain basic rules in your workshops.
