I used Ace the Himalaya twice for Annapurna and Everest base camp both, you will only require 12 walk to get base camp and get back but the they offer bit longer itinerary which also include a day city tour in Kathmandu plus a spare day at the end. They arranged quite good accommodation in the trekking and also in Kathmandu, seems like they always pick best one in the route. I didn鈥檛 really suffer from the altitude but it was more common for everyone to experience few symptoms such as small headache, breathing problem etc. Using local company is good value of what you paid and also money is going directly to local people and it is lot cheaper. It doesn鈥檛 bother me to say they are much better than any international companies like Peregrine, World Exp etc.

You%26#39;ve almost missed the pre-Monsoon season ! Mid October - November is good, weather normally clear and dry (though nights will be cold at altitude). Views are likely to be spectacular.

For preference use a Nepalese company rather than a western-based one where you%26#39;ll be paying extra to cover overheads, advertising, glossy brochures, western salaries and profits, so that only a portion of what you pay will find its way into Nepal. Nepalese agencies can provide local (English-speaking) staff and all necessary logistics. There have been several recent posts naming Nepalese firms that have proved to give excellent service and very good value. I%26#39;ve personally used a firm called %26#39;Spirit of the Himalayas%26#39; several times, and found them faultless. Their website is www.spiritofthehimalayas.com
