When I got the opportunity to come back to Nepal in February 2024 just three months after my last visit, I knew I had to use the chance for another trek with Ace the Himalaya. And yet again, the trek was phenomenal! After completing Everest Basecamp last time, I decided to trek in the Annapurna region, the shorter but no less great Ghorepani Poon Hill trek with its amazing views.

Sujan from the Ace front office and Pasang, the guide from my last trek, helped me with the decision process and to adapt the trek to my timeframe and preferences. Since the road to Pokhara, where the trek starts, is under construction, I decided to fly there by plane – a decision I can definitely recommend to anyone and that should almost be included in the standard package for the trek.

As he is one of the most experienced guides at Ace, I knew that Pasang would be in high demand for many groups looking to experience the beautiful mountain treks in Nepal. But luckily, because it was just before the start of the season, I managed to get him as guide for my solo trek. Pasang and his team made sure I got the best experience of the 4-5 days of trekking and when I mentioned how much I enjoyed Pokhara itself, adapted the trek so that I had more time to spend there.

For anyone thinking about trekking in Nepal, I would definitely recommend going with Ace and even asking for Pasang as guide, whether it’s solo, a small group or big one. You will have a great
