Mr Saurab (Saurav Dahal) is a passionate mountain academic and the friendly managing director of Acme Adventure Treks, who believes that every trek should feel like a journey with an old friend. With an extensive background studying the geography, climate patterns, and ecosystems of the Himalayas, he is always curious to learn more about these peaks and translates practical mountain science directly into high-altitude safety. He is deeply involved in the field experience, personally selecting, vetting, and gladly joining his team on the trails to ensure every guide is fully certified in high-altitude risk management and wilderness first aid.
Behind Acme Adventure Treks is a long history of trusted hospitality, operating safely from its Pokhara office since 2006. Being stationed directly at the literal gateway of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges gives Saurab and his team real-time logistical intelligence on local weather and trail conditions. This distinct operational edge allows them to provide immediate on-the-ground support, keeping communication wide open and flexibly adapting to changes in a way that typical desk agencies cannot.
When leading expeditions, Saurab guides with a deeply personal, friendly touch, sharing an authentic wealth of local Nepali knowledge and cultural insights that you won't find in textbooks. His experience serves as the backbone for the company’s signature offerings, such as their flexible, 100% custom itineraries, where travellers only pay for the exact services they want. Over the last two decades, this unique blend of warm hospitality, deep academic understanding, and expert guidance has helped Acme build a flawless safety record and lifelong global friendships, leaving trekkers hopeful and excited for their next big adventure.
