Everest Base Camp Trek with Helicopter Return from Gorakshep to Lukla

Nice guide from Nimesh. What a caring team, both Nimesh and the porters, who carrying me a lot through out the trek with ecery night mental and health check. Glad to meet this guide achieving this milestone.

I had the perfect experience through the whole journey, the best guide (Nimesh) and the porters team, experienced different weather, sunny, rainy and even snowfall

My 8/9-day Everest Base Camp trek with helicopter return was truly a magical and unforgettable experience. From start to finish, the views were absolutely mesmerizing and something no photo can fully capture. Every single day felt like a reward, with breathtaking scenery surrounding us throughout the journey. A special mention to our host and guide, Maddy (@mountainmate.maddy), who was simply fantastic throughout the trip. He made sure every member of the group felt included, supported, and cared for. Nobody was ever left behind or made to feel like they were slowing the group down, which was especially important for me as this was my very first high-altitude trek. Coming from sea level, the altitude was honestly one of the toughest parts of the journey. Once we passed around 3,800m, every step became more challenging and breathing was noticeably harder. However, the team managed the pace extremely well, moving slowly, taking regular breaks, and making sure everyone could cope safely with the conditions. The accommodation at the tea houses was the best possible available at each location. Naturally, facilities become more basic the higher you go, but that is completely understandable considering how remote these mountain villages are and how difficult it is to transport supplies there. Rather than seeing it as a negative, it became part of the experience and gave me a deeper appreciation for life in the Himalayas. What impacted me most was seeing how people survive and live in these mountains every day. It was incredibly humbling and truly an eye-opening experience that makes you appreciate many things you normally take for granted. The helicopter return was the perfect ending to the trek and gave us one final spectacular perspective of the mountains. This trip challenged me physically and mentally, but it was absolutely worth every moment. I genuinely hope to encourage my kids to experience this amazing journey one day as well. Highly recommended for anyone considering Everest Base Camp, especially first-time trekkers looking for a safe, supportive, and memorable experience.

Very well organised and taken care by the guides and porters. Able to provide last min assistance for urgent requests. Will definitely be back again.

I highly recommend Ace the Himalaya for the Everest Base Camp Trek. A huge part of what made this journey so special was our guide, Sunil. From the very beginning, he was incredibly professional, attentive, patient, and always smiling. No matter how tired, cold, or challenged we felt, he constantly kept the group motivated, laughing, and in good spirits. What stood out most was how much he genuinely cared about everyone’s wellbeing. He always went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, healthy, acclimatizing properly, eating enough, and emotionally encouraged throughout the trek. Sunil was also deeply knowledgeable about the Khumbu region, Sherpa culture, mountains, and local traditions, which made the experience feel so much more meaningful than just a hike. Our assistant guide and Sherpas were also incredible and to them my deepest gratitude. Our entire group of ten people reached Base Camp on schedule. The Himalayas are unforgettable on their own, but having the right guides and sherpas changes everything. Thank you, Sunil, and the whole Ace the Himalayas crew, for helping turn this trek into a lifelong memory.

We recently completed the Everest Base Camp Trek. We decided to arrange a small group EBC Trek, and we are glad we chose ACE the Himalaya. Sujan, the General Manager, was very responsive to our numerous queries, and this gave us a sense that we would be in good hands. Our, Guide, Mr Laxman, was very helpful. He has a friendly demeanor, and it was very easy to get along with him. He ensured we were looked after and taken care of in the guesthouses. Laxman is well versed and knowledgeable of all the mountains along our route. He made everything effortless and smooth. His English was excellent, and he was incredibly knowledgeable. Throughout the journey, he made the experience even more meaningful by sharing fascinating insights about the mountains, local culture, and the history of the region. After a hard day of trekking, and our spirits were low, it was our Guide, Laxman who encouraged us and assured us that we could make it. It gave us the determination to carry on. He reminded us that each day we were getting closer to our goal of reaching Everest Base Camp. Laxman is a very experienced guide. He knew our walking pace and was able to quite accurately inform us how long we would take to reach our destination each day. He was always ensuring that our safety was well taken care of and demonstrated concern for our well-being at high altitudes. Laxman ensured that we had a memorable experience. We also got to know our porters, Navendra and Ocean. They were incredible - strong, kind, positive and always supportive. We are so grateful for their hard work and they also provided a secondary safety lookout for us. The company itself is very well structured and organized. I highly recommend ACE and the team

Matt and I completed the Everest Base Camp Trek in March with Ace the Himalaya, and it truly was the trip of a lifetime. From the moment we arrived in Kathmandu, Nepal, Ace made us feel welcomed and cared for. Their team greeted us at the airport with such warmth and professionalism, and they remained by our side through every step of the journey — from our arrival to our departure home. The experience began with a detailed pre-trip meeting at their headquarters and ended with a thoughtful follow-up, certificate of completion ceremony, and celebratory dinner. Every person we interacted with — the office staff, our incredible guide Ramhari Neumane, and our porter Bhupal — was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making our trek unforgettable. The scenery along the trek to Everest Base Camp became more breathtaking each day, but the highlight was our final evening at Kalapathar. Watching the sunset illuminate the Himalayas — including Mount Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, and the Khumbu Glacier — was one of the most spectacular moments of our lives. Throughout the trek, multiple other trekkers told us they had heard Ace the Himalaya was the best company to trek with, and after experiencing it ourselves, we completely agree. Anyone considering trekking to Everest Base Camp or anywhere in the Everest region should put Ace the Himalaya at the very top of their list. They are absolutely top-notch, and you will not regret booking with them.

This trip took place in April 2024, and I and my friends climbed to EBC on a helicopter from Kathmandu-Lukla and Gorakshep-Kathmandu. The helicopter's unit is very good, we get priority to take off early, so it doesn't interfere with the climb schedule. On this journey we also stayed at the best accommodation during the climb. With good service from our guide Sunil Ghale, he arranged all our needs from the beginning to the end of the climb.

The trip was awesome. The weather was perfect and Raj, our guide, was incredibly helpful and made the experience enjoyable for everyone. Sher and Sanjay carried our daypacks and were very both very patient and helpful throughout the journey. We enjoyed it immensely and appreciated the support from the entire team. Highly recommended!

We had such an amazing experience doing EBC with Ace. Everything was so well organised, with excellent communication from the Team throughout. We went in a group of 5 with Ram as our guide & 3 porters; Bhupal, Prabin & Pesal who couldn't do enough for us. The accommodation & food throughout the trek was fabulous. We took helicopter back to Lukla and this just topped our trip! Totally recommend this company, they will ensure you make the summit with their excellent guidance.
