10/10 Recommend Alpine Ramble - I did the 12 day trek to EBC, and what a wonderful experience! Alpine Ramble is an amazing company to book with. The booking process was smooth and Dil (founder) answered any questions throughly and promptly. Our guides Prasan and Dil were absolutely amazing! They knew so much about the region and really made the trip special. I went solo and met the other people in my group tour the day we started the trek (4 person tour). It was a fun challenge and the views 😍 were stunning. Had great weather most of the trip, and were well taken care of by everyone at Alpine Ramble. Love the Alpine Ramble hat we got as well. 10/10 recommend this company to book with!

Great company - 10/10 - I would highly recommend booking with Alpine Ramble. I trekked Everest Base Camp with them and couldn’t have been happier. The company owner Dil is extremely professional and talked me through the trip before to make sure I was prepared. My guide Prasan, assistant guide Dil and the porters were lovely, knowledgable, kind people. Thank you to them for an unforgettable trip!

Incredible time with Tilak on EBC Trek - Incredible experience, it's hard to put into words, but I'll give it a go... Alpine Ramble Company in general: Dill was really helpful and a great communicator and we felt the company puts lots of effort into going above and beyond from the supplies provided, to the extra treats and snacks and then to marking the achievement following the Everest basecamp trek. Everything has been thought of. Dill was also very understanding when I was having some payment issues. Guide: Tilak 'the mountain king' 😊 was incredible from start to finish. He's been doing the basecamp trek for 23 years and has so much experience and is so knowledgeable about the trail in general and around being able to provide guidance in terms of what to do to ensure everyone is successful (tips to keep well and what to eat etc). He outlined the plan for each day the evening before, everything was always very clear and professional. In addition, he's great company and keeps up spirits when required and adjusts the pace to suit the energy levels and ability of the group without making anyone feel under pressure. Safety: Tilak did everything to ensure he was always aware of how we were feeling and our safety was of upmost concern to him. It became apparent that this isn't the norm and we were very thankful on a number of occasions that we had Tilak checking our oxygen levels every night. It made us feel very at ease. Overall, we had the most incredible time from dancing, to singing, to moaning through sunshine and blizzard and everything in between. It wouldn't have been the same without Tilak. I still have people asking about him as he became very popular on our Instagram updates. I would have no hesitation in reccomending Alpine and Tilak, in fact I highly encourage booking with them 😊 Thanks so much to them again, we had an amazing time. Ciara

Top Notch EBC Operator - Alpine Ramble is a best in class Nepalese trekking outfitter. It became very clear during our trek how respected the organization is among the tea house operators. Would recommend to anyone looking to book an EBC or Annapurna trek. Dil Gurung, the owner, is highly competent, friendly, responsive and genuinely cares that you have an amazing time in the mountains of Nepal

Incredible Experience! - After minor scheduling mixups and weather delays the trek kicked off wonderfully. All flights were canceled the day i was to fly to Lukla and was having challenges getting on a flight the second day. Then Dil and Alpine Ramble really came through with a helicopter ride to Lukla. That’s was an amazing experience and greatly appreciated. During the trek my guide Nir and my porter Bhupal were the best. They ensured everything was taken care of the entire journey. I never had to worry about anything from lodging, food, water, health well being. They were always there for anything. The quality of service, hospitality, and genuine sincerity of Dil, Nir, and Bhupal was top notch. I would highly recommend Alpine Ramble Treks!

Best experience ever! - Wow where to start - we had the most amazing trip! We landed in Kathmandu Airport and met our guide Tilak who was so friendly and knowledgeable from day 1 right through our trip! He has over 20 years experience trekking to Base Camp and his number one priority was getting us there and back safely.. and he succeeded! Every day we had the most amazing views and Tilak taught us so much about the mountains and the culture. We felt so safe with Tilak, he checked our oxygen levels every night and gave us advice on how to avoid getting sick. He also let us tailor our trip, giving us the option to take different routes or leave at different times "we have time"! We met other trekkers who did not have the same level of support and safety from their guide and trekking company and we were so grateful to have Tilak! Dil was also so helpful and welcoming when we arrived and he gave us the option to start our trek a day early to get the best chance of completing it! Thank you Tilak and Dil for everything, and for advising we hike to Kala Pathar which really was the highlight of the trip. Tilak was also a great photographer, capturing the photos below 😊 I 100% recommend booking with Alpine Ramble Treks and requesting Tilak..thank me later!

Professional company, tremendous guide, dream enablers - My wife & booked a 8 day EBC trip, and were grateful to find a renowned company that offered this, as we were short on time. Our oxygen levels were tested each night and Alpine Ramble were very clear about the availability of an extra acclimatisation day, if it was needed. I knew this company didn’t take risks with its clientele, which was a reassurance. The day before our trek started we had a great briefing with Dil from Alpine Ramble, and also met our guide Amar. We were doing our trek a week or so before the ‘season’ started, and Amar was brilliant throughout. When my wife was low on energy or slow he’d walk behind and remain close. His knowledge of various peaks, monuments and sites was exceptional. And he was as determined to see us reach our goals as we were. My journey to the top of Kala Patthar was something I could not have managed (in high winds and low temperatures) without his expert guidance. From the booking process, to the information received ahead of the trek, to the trek itself- I would absolutely use Alpine Ramble again. Indeed, we have a few days in Kathmandu after this trek, and we intend to book another excursion with them during this time.
