    Ace is most thorough and knowledgable. Trekking with Ace to the Everest Base Camp was the most fantastic trek I have had with Ace. Second only to the Thailand adventure I booked through them!

    I travelled in Nepal with two friends in August/September 2013, we had an absolutely amazing trip and a lot of that was down to Ace the Himalaya. Right from the start they were fantastic, booking was easy, price was reasonable, staff were incredibly friendly and very knowledgable. We really got the feeling that the staff and company were dedicated to making our trip special and clearly really love their country and just want to share it with as many people as possible! I have since recommended Ace to a few friends thinking of travelling in the region and would very highly recommend Ace to anyone thinking of going to Nepal!

    Asked on May 26th, 2017

    What opportunities will I have for shower along the trek?

    Accommodation
    • D

      Dale

      TravelerWritten May 2017

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

    Dale

    Asked on May 26th, 2017

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

    Travel Support
    • D

      Dale

      TravelerWritten May 2017

      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.

      TravelerWritten May 2017

      It depends on your spending habits. Generally, in Kathmandu, you can allocate USD 10 to USD 15 for a lunch and a dinner. USD 18 to USD 25 per person a day will be enough to buy meals and drinks during the trekking while you are at the guesthouse.

    Dale

    Asked on May 26th, 2017

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

    Payments

      Dale

      TravelerWritten May 2017

      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.
