I did the Manaslu Circuit Trek with Ace Holiday Treks in October with a group of five. The whole trip was well organized from Kathmandu to the return. What I liked most was how the guide handled different fitness levels in the group. Some days we were fast, some days very slow, but there was never any pressure. The hardest part was definitely the climb to Larkya La Pass. It was long, cold, and mentally tiring, but the guide kept everyone steady and focused. Our porter, Pasang, was incredibly strong and always ahead of us, even in snow sections. This trek gave us a real sense of the remote Manaslu trekking experience in Nepal, far away from busy trails.
We came from the UK as a group of five friends for the Annapurna Circuit Trek with Ace Holiday Treks. Everything started really smoothly from the moment we landed in Kathmandu. Someone was already there waiting for us at the airport, which made things easy after a long flight. We were taken to the hotel and given a simple briefing about the trek and what the coming days would look like. A day later we left Kathmandu and started the journey towards the mountains. Even the drive felt like part of the adventure, slowly moving from busy roads to quieter villages and green hills. Once we actually started walking, each day felt very different from the last.Our group had different walking speeds, so it wasn’t always easy to stay together, but our guide managed everything in a calm way. He never rushed anyone and always made sure we were okay, especially when the trails got steeper or when we started feeling the effects of altitude during the high-altitude trekking sections in Nepal. The hardest part for all of us was the early morning push to Thorong La Pass. It was cold and quiet, and the walking felt endless at times, but the guide kept checking on everyone and adjusting the pace. Reaching the top together felt like a real achievement for the whole group. After finishing the trek, we went down towards Pokhara and later back to Kathmandu. Even the return journey and airport drop were arranged properly, so we didn’t have to worry about anything at the end. It was a truly memorable trekking experience in Nepal, not just because of the mountains, but because everything behind the scenes was handled so well that we could simply enjoy the journey.
I completed the Annapurna Circuit Trek with two friends from Singapore in October. We are regular gym goers but had never trekked above 5,000 meters before. The hardest day was definitely the early morning crossing of Thorong La Pass. It was cold, windy, and much more challenging than we expected. Our guide, Ramesh, kept reminding us to walk slowly and drink plenty of water. Looking back, his advice probably helped us reach the pass comfortably. A special mention to our porter Bikash, who somehow carried our bags across the mountains while still arriving before us at every teahouse. We joked that he had secret superpowers. After several long days of trekking, relaxing in the hot springs at Tatopani felt amazing. The entire journey was well organized by Ace Holiday Treks, and we never had to worry about logistics. One of the most rewarding adventures I've ever done in Nepal.
We started our Annapurna Circuit Trek in late November and were lucky enough to experience fresh snowfall near High Camp. It made the mountains look absolutely incredible. There were four of us traveling from Malaysia, and none of us had previous high altitude trekking experience. Thankfully our guide Pradeep was very experienced and gave us useful advice throughout the trek. A big thank you also to porter Bishal, who somehow carried our bags over terrain that left us completely exhausted. The combination of mountain scenery, local villages, and the challenge of Thorong La Pass made this one of the best adventures we have ever had. We would definitely recommend the Annapurna Circuit Trek in Nepal with Ace Holiday Treks.
My husband and I completed the Annapurna Circuit Trek in April and honestly it was much harder than we expected. We are regular hikers in New Zealand, but trekking above 5,000m is a different experience altogether. The toughest day was crossing Thorong La Pass, especially with the cold wind before sunrise. There were moments when I wanted to stop every few minutes, but our guide Binod kept encouraging us and adjusted the pace so nobody felt pressured. Special thanks to our porter Praksh, who always seemed to be smiling no matter how steep the trail became. Seeing the prayer flags at the top of the pass was one of the most rewarding moments of my life.The entire trip was arranged by Ace Holiday Treks, and everything went according to plan.
