If we speak of the difficulty while trekking in Langtang Valley, it is relatively shorter than other treks in Nepal. The maximum elevation you will reach here is almost 5000 meters which can be slightly challenging for some. All in all, it isn’t a very difficult trek. Altitude sickness can occur often. The route gains altitude rather quickly, with several days having an elevation increases of more than 1000 meters. These days of elevation are exhausting, and the body must swiftly adapt. Therefore, it is recommended to have basic physical fitness before heading for the trek. The best time to opt for the Langtang Valley Trek is usually from March to May and from September to December. The accommodation choices here are usually tea houses, also known as guest houses. It is quite comfortable with good hosting and food.

TEJAS JOSHI2024-06-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This trek for me was a lifetime of an experience. WeRamblers did a great job with the logistics involved throughout the trek. The guide Tenzing and his team took good care of the trek team from the start till end of the trek. Hats off to the porters who were moving the trek equipments throughout. Once again thanks to WeRamblers and Mr. Nitesh for making this trek a successful one! Looking forward to more such great treks in the Himalayas. Biswarup Mohanty2024-06-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 2024, May 25 when I touched the EBC landmark stone, it was still unbelievable. Even though you planned for it a lot, still there are a few feelings that come. It's a tad bit emotional, a tad bit relief. I was just thinking each day I have to go to the next camp, probably this is [the last time]. In the lead up to that, because I was kind of preparing myself like 'oh maybe this is the last day', 'oh this is the last time I am going to trek', 'oh this is the last time I am reaching this camp.' So these sort of moments just kept playing in my mind a lot. In a way I was mentally prepared for whenever it had to happen. But I was so much more prepared for 25th May [last camp - Gorakshep]. Once that part of the trek zone was crossed, I was extremely elated and very, very happy and grateful. The day came around pretty fast, but overall it was a mixed feeling of relief, emotion and the fact that it has all come to an end. Huge thanks to "We Ramblers". Their flawless coordination across border made it look simple, but their Team at backend would have done a good amount of homework. Kudos to Subid, Nitesh Singh, our guide Dipendra, Devika and the unsung heroes - The Porters. "Adventure with safe hands! Say We Ramblers" Soumendra Mohanty2024-05-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was our first trek of EBC kind. We had lots of apprehensions. We Ramblers took care of everything, often going out of the way to advise, guide and handhold. Especially Subid, Nitesh and the guides Deepen and Devika. Wonderful experience and hospitality. Will strongly recommend We Ramblers for such treks. Agarwal ,Naveen2024-05-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you Team WeRamblers ! Thank You Subid Sir from Weramblers for introducing me to the world of multi-day trekking at high altitude. This was my first trek and hence I would call him quite frequently to ask silly questions . He prepared me for it very well. It was an amazingly smooth 14 day long Everest Base Camp Trek and its all because of the efficient services they have provided in terms of food, stay, guide and last but not the least knowledge sharing about the terrain. The trek leader Nitesh Sir, Rohit Sir and Shrering Sir were simply awesome. The sense of responsibility they showed during a sudden illness of some of our trekkers in our group clearly depicts the professionalism and efficiency of your service. I will surely love to trek again with weramblers in future. The best thing about memories is making them and you have just made this memory so special to me. Thanks a lot. Vineet Saraf2024-05-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing ebc trek, super flexible at several points. Fantastic guides, huge thanks to Numa and Shambu. And a special appreciation to Nitesh for handling all arrangements seamlessly, for being available at all times Sunil Fernandes2024-05-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We did the EBC trek with We Ramblers. Along with the EBC, we also did the Chola pass and Gokyo Ridge. We Ramblers organised the trek very well. A few hiccups due to unexpected weather were handled nicely. The guides were professional and the porter arrangements were up to the mark. I had an experience of lifetime and We Ramblers had part to play in this. All my future Himalaya treks will be with We Ramblers! Richard Fischer2024-05-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our experience with We Ramblers' was very good. Great team, guides, management, local support and encouragement was both seen and realized. We will for sure return to We Ramblers' for our next trek. Special shout out to our guides Nabin, Shambu, and Mansing. Great team. Also, thank you to Rohit and Nitesh for providing great local support. Great team and it made our trek fantastic. - Richard Aseem Swalah2024-05-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience.
