    "Our recent trip to Nepal was incredible. This would not have been possible without the head office team led by Prem Khatry. As CEO and founder, Prem is both an entrepreneur and compassionate community leader. His team's attention to detail was key to our trip. Upon our initial visit with him in Nepal he assessed our needs and quickly suggested we do the ultralight flight in Pokhara, which of course, we knew nothing about - and it turned out to a major highlight of our Nepal visit. This chap Prem, raised in the mountains of Gorkha, knows his stuff. Our pick for guide of the year - is the guide that truly made our entire trip special - Dill Tamang. Having been involved in this sector for many years his immense knowledge flows out of him as you walk through magical Nepal with your mouth wide open. Dill, who himself was born in a remote village in Nepal showed us the incredible beauty of Nepal in so many ways. He understood us within the first day. A highlight was Dill searching out the Guru Rinpoche Cave for us even though it was not on the original tour - he made it happen." . Sherman and Katie Dahl Vernon, BC Canada

    Great experience with ACE The Himalaya!!! We stayed for two weeks in Nepal and did the eight day tour " Glimpse's of Nepal". We loved their guides, Dil B Lama-Tamang took us for an amazing tour of Kathmandu. He is an expert guide and a patient on as he waits for me to climb the stairs to the Swayambhanuth Temple. His calm demeanor and expert knowledge were a plus as we meandered through Durbar Square and the bustling streets. He answered all our questions and we saw so many beautiful sites. Our guide for the eight days Mansignh Gurung was a blessing. He is very knowledgeable as he leads us through Lumbini and it's many sites and temples. He was fun to be with for eight days and his smile and demeanor is the trademark of the wonderful Nepalese people. Ganesh Adhikari, our driver was the best driver we could have had. He made for a safe driving experience through the rough and mountainous roads. Ganesh also was much fun to be around. We had a great experience thanks to ACE and would travel with them again in a heart beat!!
