About Lokesh

Write a review
My name is Lokesh Gurung and I have been working in the travel industry for the past 7 years, helping travelers from all around the world plan trips to Nepal, Bhutan, and Tibet. My educational background is in commerce and management, but the allure of travel pulled me into this industry. Aside from travel, I love to read and watch movies. Everest is my favorite place to visit, and where I first had the awe-inspiring experience of walking among the Himalayan giants. Here I realized where I stand in the grand scheme of things. I love to help others by planning and organizing their trips. For many people, coming to Nepal is literally their once-in-a-lifetime dream trip. Seeing clients have unforgettable experiences and make amazing lifelong memories motivates me to be here.

Lokesh's Expertise

I specialize in all places and activities in Nepal and Bhutan. If there is an activity you want to do or any permitted place you want to visit, I am here for you. I will try my best to organize for you, provide accurate information and help you make it come true. Trekking in the Everest region is the most popular activity for Ace the Himalaya and that's where I have been working a lot.

Lokesh's Best Travel Experience

In 2015, before the big earthquake struck, I went on a trip to Everest Base Camp; this was actually the first time I had been there. Images and videos had always shown me how beautiful and massive the Himalayas are, but I had never seen them from afar. To be among them and able to experience their sheer size and magnificent beauty firsthand, changed how I look at the Himalayas and my own country.

Why is Lokesh the right travel expert

I have both experience and expertise to plan and organize a wonderful trip for you in the Himalayas. I have worked in this field for more than 7 years, helping out more than hundreds of clients each year. I am also a local Nepali, with experience in the language and culture, which gives me special insight. I also make sure to keep up to date with accurate information about regions and activities.
