    It depends on the nature of the sickness. Generally, if you become sick, you will descend to a lower high altitude with the help and support of the staff. If you are seriously ill, injured etc we will arrange an emergency helicopter evacuation service. Our guide will take immediate action according to the situation in the mountains. Please ensure you arrange travel insurance that covers you for an evacuation service and trekking at high altitudes.

    Acute mountain sickness is an illness that can affect any mountain climbers, hikers, trekkers, or travelers at high altitudes, normally; it can be suffered above high of 9,000 feet. Acute mountain sickness is caused by reduced air pressure and lowers oxygen levels at high altitudes. If you feel dizzy, suffer palpitations or severe headaches, and return immediately to a lower altitude. Do not take altitude sickness lightly. It can be fatal! Please familiarize yourself with the symptoms of altitude sickness before your trek. Do not ignore even the mildest of altitude symptoms, inform your guide, porters, or hotel staff immediately. Generally, Our guides carry basic medicine and first aid equipment including simple painkillers, altitude sickness tablets, bandages, balm for muscle ache, and medication to treat diarrhea and vomiting.

      I had a great time in the Himalayas. My guide Dev was very nice. Dil was very accomodating and flexible as well.

      When we decided to travel to Nepal, we knew that we would have to engage a local tour group to help us plan out our trip given how last minute the trip was and how difficult it was to organize things ourselves. Overall, we were happy with our choice of Alpine Ramble Treks! A few pros and cons of our experience:

      Pros:
      - Responsiveness: We planned this trip very last minute, and they responded to my inquiry promptly, and were able to customize the trip for us.
      - Hospitality: The level of hospitality by the owner Dil, our Poon Hill hiking guide Dilman, and porter Anil was just incredible. When we arrived, we were greeted by 3 different people at the airport (with welcome scarves). When we departed, we were also sent off with the ceremonial scarf. During the hike, Dilman and Anil made sure we were comfortable every second, even offering us their walking sticks to us when we didn't have any. After dinner, they even personally cut fruit for us - fruit that they brought all the way from Kathmandu. During meals, they also served us and made sure we had enough to eat. If I could give them a score for hospitality alone, it would be 12/10!
      - Accommodating: We were able to customize our trip by combining off the shelf packages, and they were very accommodating to our desired sightseeing spots.
      - Customer service: When our Everest scenic flight was cancelled, they promptly refunded the money to us in our currency for convenience.
      - Value: Compared to other tour companies, ART's price was on the middle/low end, and the experience definitely felt like it was worth more than that!

      Cons:
      - Communication: Tour packages on their website don't make clear enough what is and what isn't included, including lodging, food and transportation. I would have loved a more detailed description, make sure you confirm any details via email. Everything was clear after a few emails and a diagram drawn up by me.
      - Organization: I had to reiterate the same information many times to different guides, including departure times, arrival times, and schedule.
      - Language barrier: While the owner Dil's english was very impressive, communication with other guides was a little more lacking. During the hike, there were many times we found it challenging to understand them, and many times we were unable to get our message across.

      Overall, I highly recommend Alpine Ramble Trek

      I finished the ABC Camp trek with Alpine ramble, Kathmandu treks. Our guide Dil2 and our porter Dil 3 were excellent, very friendly young men with pretty much good English speaking skills. They looked after me very well, staying with me and supporting me as I trekked, and making sure my meals and accommodation were booked all the time. On the way, they often asked about the snacks which they carried with them. They were for sure very knowledgeable about the mountains, the areas which i visited with them. It was lovely to share lot of stories with them, and I’m sure they will make excellent guides whomever they accompany. I highly recommend Dil and Alpine Ramble and would do with my family together next time a Everest base camp with them mostly in 2020.
