Reviews

  • Paul Lee - February 11, 2020

    Just finished up my tour of Nepal on the EBC trek with Alpine Ramble, and I am so glad I chose this company.

    From the beginning, the owner Dil and his team were extremely responsive to all the questions I had about the trip. And when I arrived in Kathmandu, my guide was there waiting for me with a taxi ready to transport me back to my hotel.

    From then, it got even better with the service and support I received from my guide Samir, and porter Karma. They kept me safe at all times during the harsh Winter season. And apart from keeping me safe, no one mentioned that I would also have two expert photographers travelling with me. (Pictures below)

    Travelling solo meant that I was so happy to have my brothers Samir and Karma with me, teaching me about the beautiful country of Nepal. Both Samir and Karma would always go the extra mile to make sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed, whenever I needed something. Samir was also very entertaining with his singing and dancing along the way too!

    The food on the trek was amazing! Hopefully when I arrive home I can find some Dhal Bhat, with more rice for the same price! Accomodation on the trek was also excellent, as my room had the best views and attached en-suite wherever possible!

    I would recommend Alpine Ramble to anyone for their trekking and adventure needs!

    Until next time Alpine Ramble!
    Looking forward to our next adventure already!

  • Nat M - November 09, 2019

    Amazing company!
    Dil was incredibly helpful with organising our trek to Everest Base Camp and made sure everything was well taken care of, we couldn’t have wished for a more thoughtful individual to look after us while we stayed in Nepal, he went above and beyond to make us comfortable.
    Our guide Laxman was awesome, he was very knowledgable with 18 years experience and had a relaxed and patient attitude which was perfect for our group. Top guy!
    Also our porters who completed our team were a very friendly bunch who took very good care of all our belongings when hauling them up the mountain.
    Fantastic company who I would always work with again in future.
    Thank you Dil and co for an epic trip!
    Namaste.

    I booked Alpine Ramble for my trek to Everest Base Camp and it was absolutely amazing. They picked me up at the airport and really cared about me. During the trek my guide Samir helped me whenever I felt tired or exhausted. We really enjoyed our time in the mountains with singing and dancing. The lodges where we stayed in were quite nice and the food was really good all the time. I learned about the culture and the mountains. The team was really friendly and it felt like family! I would definitely recommend Alpine Ramble for a trek in the Nepali mountains! You‘ll have a wonderful experience with a accommodating company, a good guide and a wonderful landscape. Thanks for everything !!!

    The Alpine Ramble team from start to finish were unfaultering in their professional service.
    The management were organized, attentative to all requests and have an ability to instil confidence within our inexperienced team.
    Our guide was like a highly knowledgeable friend who would listen and endeavour to meet all of our needs for this experience. His assistant, being highly knowledgeable, was excellent at assisting all of us as well as our lead guide. The Sherpa crew's strength and determination was very impressive and gave our team confidence in our goal of reaching Everest Base Camp.
    The safety of team members was paramount and Alpine Ramble always maintained good team interaction to determine each members physical state as we ascended the mountain range. Oxygen tests were performed at altitude daily to ensure our safety.
    Overall I was pleasantly surprised how well the schedule was adhered to.
    Many thanks to Alpine Ramble, the experience was genuinely appreciated and I would recommend this company to anyone.
