I had the absolute pleasure of spending 21 days trekking with Aasish from Alpine Ramble, covering the Manaslu Circuit, Annapurna short circuit, and Poon Hill. From the very start, Dil made the whole process easy — his communication before the trek was clear and reassuring, answering all my questions, sorting out logistics, and building in flexibility so I could make the most of my time. Everything from airport pickups and hotel stays to car/bus transfers, teahouse accommodation, and meals was seamlessly organized. The itineraries and packing lists were spot‑on, which gave me confidence heading into such a big adventure. On the trail, Aasish was an outstanding guide. He brought not only deep local and cultural knowledge but also a genuine enthusiasm that made every day enjoyable. He had a great sense of when to let me set the pace, when to encourage me on tougher sections, and when to suggest sidetrips or rest days. He understood the little things that mattered to me — like taking time for photos or choosing teahouses with comforts such as Wi‑Fi and hot showers — which made the experience even better. His focus on altitude safety was excellent, and I always felt secure and supported, especially on the high passes. Celebrating the trek’s achievements together at the end was a highlight in itself. We were blessed with incredible weather, and all three treks were unforgettable — though Manaslu in particular stood out for its variety of scenery and cultural richness. Personal highlights included crossing both passes and witnessing the epic sunrise at Poon Hill. The scheduling was well thought‑out, the views were five‑star, and the whole journey felt perfectly balanced between challenge and enjoyment. I can wholeheartedly recommend Alpine Ramble to anyone considering trekking in Nepal. Their professionalism, warmth, and flexibility made this adventure truly special, and I’ll definitely be choosing them again next time I return.Show more
