The tour did not deliver all that was promised in the itinerary. Some was due to poor planning (like visiting Pokhara on Saturday, when 3 of the sites to be visited were closed).

I took the "Adventure Tour" solo which included some sight seeing, hikes, white water rafting, elephant riding, biking and largely just being engulfed in Nepalese culture. The country is beautiful and Ace the Himalaya ensured that I saw as much as possible in 11 days while always putting my safety first. The staff and guides were knowledgeable, friendly and made sure that my experience was as amazing as possible. I went in mid-December and I really can't imagine a more perfect time to visit. What else can I say? Book this trip!

“"Nepal Multi Sports Adventure" - 10 Day Tour - AWESOME!” This trip was amazing, Ace did a wonderful job putting this together and went out of their way to accommodate us with any changes we needed when possible. (Not to mention answering all the questions we had before booking the trip.) From the time they picked us up at the airport to the time they dropped us off 12 days later we never felt unsafe. The driver was absolutely wonderful, how he's able to drive through that was unreal - you have to see it to believe it! They had everything planned for us and we even had time to venture out on our own. This is the first guided tour group we have booked with mainly because we like time to do things on our own, Ace was perfect for that. We even stayed an extra day so we could take a flight over Everest and Prem even sat that up for us. The only thing we wished we had known was how CHEAP you can purchase trekking gear for in Kathmandu. We could have packed light, gone with no gear, bought it there and brought it home with us to use here. Of course we still bought gear, but the extra baggage cost was brutal. You can't go wrong with this group. How many vacations can you say you went white water rafting, hiked up Sarangkot and woke up to a breathe taking view of the Annapurna range, para glided off that same mountain, took an Elephant Safari, played with a baby elephant, biked Kathmandu, jumped off a 524' high bridge to a 328 ft free fall Canyon Swing and flew over The Himalayas to see Everest (not to mention all the cultural sights along the way) - all in one trip! You can have all this and more with Ace the Himalaya. Turtlepg Elizabethton, Tennessee
