Alpine Ramples are clearly the best! - Alpine Rambles was great. They were caring. Ram my guide really helped by holding my hand each step of the way. If it were not for Ram my guide and Dil the organizer, I could never have completed my trek successfully. At 58 and with arthritis its not easy. I had no experience and couldnt even climb 3 stairs back home in USA. Under these conditions I completed the trip. And who else should I credit for this other than Ram and Dil of Alpine Rambles? Thank you Dil and Ram of Alpine and Rambles.

5 Stars - Absolutely fabulous experience with Alphine ramble trek, the entire process from start to finish was pretty smooth. The lead guide, and the other junior guides are excellent throughout the 14 days trek that we were together starting from the welcome to the exit and taking care of people on a daily basis. The ownership and the senior management were very supportive as well, especially when we needed them for certain minor emergencies. Most of us were new to this grueling, long, high terrain trekking, so we needed judicious guidance which we got from the Alphine team. Highly recommended.

Everest Base Camp with 3 Passes Trek - We've completed an excellent 16-day trek in Khumbu Himal region with three high passes (Kongma La 5,535 masl, Cho La 5,420 masl, and Renjo La 5,345 masl) and visiting four peaks (Nagkartshang 5,086 masl, Chukung Ri 5,554 masl and Gokyo Ri 5,350 masl) during November 2022. A high altitude trek adventure to remember for its amazing scenery, great weather and fantastic crew and organization of Alpine Ramble Team. It is a personal position of what you like – for me EBC itself was too commercialized and not the highlight of the trip, although it’s got its value and emotion. The rest of the trek, especially farther, not so crowded paths, were the genuine gem for me. An effort worth every footstep of it. Guides were sincerely well prepared and experienced, making us a really pleasant company, assuring we feel well and secure all the time. Whether you fancy easy going or being a bit faster, didn’t matter as they kept it all well synchronized and on time. It is a long trek, sleeping 12 consecutive days on altitudes from 4,300 to 5,100 masl, pretty cold nights, but sharp clear skies every single day set it all aside. Views are extraordinary. And in the backstage, Mr. Dil Gurung from Alpine Rumble kept the track of all the news from the mountain, making sure everything is taken care of. Even though some of our colleagues have had mild AMS symptoms, but had to return earlier to lower altitude nevertheless (yes, it can happen), he managed to get them all safe and sound to the valley and make sure the rest of us continue as planned till the end. It was a high season, of course, and crowds and delays are expected, most of it at Lukla airport. Mr. Dil was efficient and professional above level to handle this with seamless effort. Thanks a lot, once again. Thank you, Sarun, our young guide, and thank you, Dilman, my dear mountain friend, for all the Himalayan days. Last but not least, thanks to my friends with whom I’ve managed to take part in one of the best mountain journeys so far. Silence, walk, breathe, live. Shall return back, for sure.

EBC Trek by the Menon family - The trek was strenuous but was expertly managed by Dilman’s team which included the porters Suman and Sonam. Without their guidance and help we would have struggled even more during the trek but with the right pauses and the team taking care of us, we were able to enjoy the experience - we saw the Mount Everest on day 3 when the weather was in our favor!

The adventure of a life time. - A life changing experience. I am pleased I arrange my trip with Alpine Ramble. They arranged everything for me. I was able to complete the Everest Base Camp Trek in a week (Thanks to the good wether conditions) and they took care of everything. My guide Happy Potter (as they called him) was very knowledgeable, explained everything, was always on time every day and answered all my questions. My porter (not sure the right spelling of his name) was awesome as well. A very professional team. This is an experience that would definitely get you out of your comfort zone. It doesn't get any higher than mount everest! If anyone needs help, have questions about extra expenses, flights or anything I'll leave my instagram here @hildebrandogonz

Highly recommend, professional but also personal guided tour - I had a fantastic time with the trekking guide Dika Rai. He is a very pleasant and humorous guy and we made a good team. I didn't have to worry about anything other than hiking 🙂. Alpine Ramble, run by Dil Gurung, is a very professional company that still provides very personal support. I was personally welcomed by Dil at the start of my tour and he took a lot of time to explain everything to me and again at the end to say goodbye and hand over a certificate. I felt safe and well looked after at all times on the mountain. We weren't always lucky with the weather, which led to delays in the flights between Kathmandu and Lukla. But thanks to the good support, this wasn't a problem. Dika and Dil took care of booking or rebooking the appropriate flights in the background, which was particularly convenient for me because I returned to Lukla with Dika a day earlier than originally planned. Acclimatization to the altitude of over 5000m was also no problem. The 11-day program allows enough time and special acclimatization days to get used to the altitude.  I really enjoyed the trip and took tons of wonderful photos. Highly recommended 👍😎
