    We were a group of 4 girls wanting a challenge and that's exactly what we got...one that was tailored to our needs! Our Ace team led by Aakash KC did a sterling job getting us all the way to Everest base camp - having filled us with numerous mo-mos! The team were amazing managing to put up with our varied moods, humour and joining in the brithday celebrations! We were privaleged to have two guides with Dhruber always running ahead to secure our night's accomodation. An amazing trip, that made treking to EBC and Kalapattar a huge accomplishment! Thank you for making our experience an awesome one!

    We spent two and a half weeks hiking from Jiri to Everest Base Camp with guide Gyanu and porter Manoj and had a terrific experience. Gyanu was professional, experienced, and good company on the trail. He did a great job of being flexible (we changed our itinerary several times and he was very accommodating) and of making sure we were having the experience we wanted (from picking good lodges en route to scouting out fresh chicken when we were growing weary of dal bhaat to using his previous experience as a cook to make some terrific momos). His years of experience also meant he could answer any question - from Nepali politics to mountain naming to the local liquor to which lodge has good pizza. Manoj was equally good company, with a humorous charm and was eager to practice his developing English and guiding skills - we have no doubt he is on his way to becoming a great young guide. When we head to the Himalayas again, we would happy to go with Gyanu and Manoj.

    As to the Jiri to Everest itinerary, we enjoyed having the experience of the week from Jiri to Lukla to get our trail legs and see some much quieter, less trekker-focused villages. We particularly liked Junbesi and Khari Khola. We might make one change: taking two days instead of one to walk from Jiri to Bhandar. We also enjoyed the Lukla to Everest base camp portion with it's spectacular views. Unfortunately, due to weather we did not go through Cho La pass to Gokyo so we will have to return to visit that area.

    All in all, a great experience.

    Just wanted to let you know what a wonderful time I had on the Everest Base Camp Trek. Not only was it an amazing hike through a beautiful country with wonderful people with which we could have never made it without our guides and porters. Bharat was our lead guide and I have to say the best guide I have ever had. He not only took care of us he made sure the porters were taken care of and he knew the people and cared for the environment. Dhurba was the other guide, he would go ahead of us to make sure we got a good place for the night and come back to walk with us, he was like Superman! Ace the Himalayas is a first class trekking company that cares about their clients, environment and the people of the region. I highly recommend them and will always use them when I visit here.
