What travelers are saying

"This was out first trip with KE and part of a longer stay in China. We had a fantastic time and the trek was the highlight of our extended holiday. The scenery was stunning and enhanced by the heavy snow fall we got at second camp. Whilst unexpected, the tour leader was able to modify our schedule and we completed the trek by staying at the second base camp for an extra night. We had active and passive acclimatisation and didn’t suffer from any altitude sickness. The days were relatively short in terms of walking but that was good as it left time to adjust the schedule when the unexpected happened. Whilst walking poles are listed as recommended, we think they were essential. Also make sure you have a good quality thermal sleeping mat as it is cold at night. The only negative is the use of single use plastic which is common throughout China. In summary a fantastic adventure and the panda bears are very cute too!"

What travelers are saying

"Because of the pandemic, we had to reschedule our cruise from July of 2020 to December 2020. Airlines were not flying out of our city to Manaus in December, so we had to cancel our cruise and asked for a refund, and was denied. I would never work with this cruise line again."

What travelers are saying

"My friend and I undertook the Annapurna Base Camp Trek in November, and after much research, we decided to go with We Ramblers because they are a local organization with a dedicated operation staff. The walk was fantastic, thanks to our guide Budha. He is well knowledgeable about the Annapurna Zone and has a lot of experience in this area. I was astounded that someone could recall so many mountain names! Everything was wonderful, starting with the service in Pokhara. The Pokhara hotel was excellent (obviously, in accordance with our trek budget), as was all of the local accommodations (tea houses), and the vehicle service was likewise excellent. The support personnel with us were extremely knowledgeable and always willing to assist. We Ramblers is recommended for any activities you have planned in Nepal. Also, we'll be back for the Manaslu Circuit Trek next year."

What travelers are saying

"Incredible experience with these guys. Organisation was on point Made for experience divers and divers with low level certs like myself. instructors are offered for each dive if you feel more comfortable doing so. The dive sites are well picked and extremely well explained and briefed by boat manager. The rooms were comfy, the food was excellent and the staff was just awesome. Would recommend to anyone skilled diver or people who want to do their open water or other certs. Great experience"
