    My experience was excellentm The tour guide Madan was very attentive and careful. Watched every step we made and cared a lot. Sp
    Walked about 13 kms through different villages. The guide knew the area very well. The breakfast after the sunrise was at a wonderful hotel with fascinating views. Pick up and drop was as sceduled. No delayes. Madan is a good asset for a company. I felt how he felt responsible during whole tour and explained the details without hesitation. Thank you once again

    Kathmandu Tours with Himalayan Planet Adventures
    This was our first Nepal trip and we booked this tour many months in advance. Nabaraj Thapa, co-founder of the Himalayan Planet Adventures reached out to us as soon as we booked the tour and answered all our Nepal-related questions, and shared all tour-specific info.

    It was our first guided private tour on our arrival in Kathmandu. We were picked up from the hotel lobby by our guide Pankaj on time for this beautiful cable car ride up the mountains. We enjoyed the company of Pankaj explaining facts about Chandragiri and the Holy Valeshwor Temple. The view from the top of the mountains is top-notch on a clear day. Nabaraj was always in touch with us for the rest of our trip in Kathmandu and Pokhara. He is very knowledgeable and helped us plan our itinerary throughout our trip when needed. We will recommend him and his company to all our family and friends for any tour in Kathmandu and Nepal in general.

    Wonderful experience on EBC - Chola Pass - Gokyo Trek with Ram, Anil & Dipak
    I had a wonderful experience on my EBC- CholaPass- Gokyo Trek! Ram, our guide was very helpful, funny, careful and welcomed us at every Teahouse stop one more time. I really enjoyed the ambience as I felt well guided and supported to ask any questions and feel save.
    The route of the trek was perfect for me as there were longer days and in between shorter days to rest and acclimatize well. The landscape was breathtaking and wonderful! The food was amazing and it was always enough.
    Moreover, the porters of our group, Anil and Dipak were part of this experience as they were really kind and helpful and as well had fun themselves even though carrying our bags throughout the whole trek.
    I am more than happy to have booked this trek with Ace the Himalaya and get Ram as our lovely and supportive guide!
    Will come back for sure for another trek!

    Lunch with a local family near Bhaktapur
    Bhaktapur is definitely worth visiting. Our guide, Akshay made it even more interesting; he was very knowledgeable and fun to interact with. He organized lunch with a local family, it was very authentic and a nice surprise; food was tasty and it felt good to support the local community. The day was nice and relaxed l, we never felt pressured for time and Akshay was ready to answer all our questions. We learned a lot about the area and the history of Nepal, we recommend this tour and our guide Akshay.

    Must-do Experience in Kathmandu
    The sunrise view of the Himalayas is a must-do in Kathmandu, especially if you do not have time to visit the base camp or Pokhara! Very much worth the early wake-up to drive up to Nagarkot and get up above the clouds.

    Dipesh was an excellent guide! He was very knowledgeable about Kathmandu history and provided a great background on Nepali culture.

    He was great to hike with and allowed me to take photos, ask questions, and ask for him to take photos of me at various points along the hike. He was happy to indulge my faster-than-normal pace of the hike.

    Ending the hike at Changu Narayan was a great opportunity to visit yet another beautiful, ancient Hindu temple.

    Sunrise in Nepal!
    This was an excellent trip. It began very early in the morning but the guide (Rabina) and the driver got us to the sunrise point before sunrise and for a photographer that is the most important. It rained the night before so the sky was clear and beautiful for sunrise. I took some great sunrise photos. Then we went and explored a couple of cities learning the culture and disciplines of the ancient Newari people. The guide was delightful and allowed me to set the pace. I never felt rushed and I took a lot of photographs. Rabina was very knowledgeable and provided several choices during the tour. The driver negotiated the worst traffic I’ve ever been in my entire life, so kudos to him as well. Excellent experience, great communication from the staff in preparation for the tour. I’m excited to be doing another one tomorrow.

    Peaceful hike with loads of different bird species to explore
    I didn't know what to expect from this tour as I never went bird watching before. It was a fun and peaceful experience. The guide was very friendly, knew his birds, and had a professional camera with him, resulting in stunning pictures of the spotted birds. If you want to hike for a day in Kathmandu valley instead of multi-day trekking, this is a great option. Awesome breakfast and lunch as well.
