With safety, sustainability, and cultural authenticity at the forefront, the company’s latest itineraries represent more than just trekking; they promise life-changing Himalayan journeys.
We Ramblers: Pioneers of Personalized Adventure Travel in the Himalayas

Founded in 2013, We Ramblers has grown into a name synonymous with high-altitude excellence and grassroots connection. Operating across Nepal, India, Bhutan, and Tibet, the company is known for its carefully designed trekking, hiking, biking, village, and eco-tours, each crafted to reflect the soul of the region and the rhythm of the mountains.

What sets We Ramblers apart is not just their vast portfolio of Himalayan expeditions, from Everest Base Camp and Annapurna Circuit to Mustang and Manaslu, but the deep-rooted respect with which they engage with nature, communities, and travelers. With offices in Kathmandu and Bangalore, the company seamlessly combines local know-how with global service standards.

Unlike many operators, We Ramblers never outsources its ground operations. All guides, porters, and logistics teams are directly employed or contracted, ensuring accountability, quality, and fair treatment. Every staff member is government-insured and trained in safety, first aid, and environmental stewardship. This model creates a meaningful impact in the remote regions they operate in, empowering locals while offering travelers an authentic and enriching experience.

From solo backpackers and mountaineers to families and travel photographers, We Ramblers caters to all, customizing adventures to match interests, fitness levels, and personal goals, with the Himalayas as the awe-inspiring backdrop.
Khopra Ridge Trek with Sacred Khayer Lake — Untouched Trails, Epic Vistas

For those seeking a quieter, less-trodden alternative to the crowded Annapurna Base Camp route, the Khopra Ridge Trek offers a perfect blend of solitude, scenic grandeur, and spiritual intrigue. Rising high above the Kali Gandaki Valley, the Khopra Danda route cuts through rhododendron forests, terraced farmlands, and charming Gurung and Magar villages, delivering jaw-dropping panoramic views of Annapurna South, Dhaulagiri, Nilgiri, and Machapuchare along the way.

The crown jewel of this trek is the Khayer Lake (Khayer Tal), a sacred alpine lake nestled at over 4,500 meters, believed by locals to be the abode of Hindu deities. Few tourists venture this far, making it a pristine site for reflection, meditation, and unmatched photography.

We Ramblers’ version of the Khopra Ridge Trek is a thoughtful blend of nature and culture. Travelers stay in cozy community lodges and locally run tea houses, with experienced guides sharing legends, ecology, and traditional knowledge. Sunrise views from Khopra Ridge often leave trekkers speechless, where golden hues touch snow-clad giants in a majestic morning reveal.

Suited for moderately fit individuals, this trek is ideal for those who want serenity, biodiversity, and a peek into Nepal’s spiritual landscape without sacrificing comfort or safety.

Mardi Himal Trek — The Best Kept Secret of Annapurna

Tucked away in the shadows of Annapurna Base Camp lies a trail less traveled but no less rewarding — the Mardi Himal Trek. This relatively recent addition to Nepal’s trekking roster has fast become a favorite among purists and short-duration hikers alike.

Beginning from Kande or Dhampus, the trail ascends steadily through dense rhododendron forests, cloud-kissed ridges, and alpine meadows. The ultimate destination, Mardi Himal Base Camp, sits at 4,500 meters and presents awe-inspiring vistas of Machapuchare (Fishtail Peak), Hiunchuli, and the southern faces of the Annapurna massif.

What makes Mardi unique is its elevation gain within a short span of time, making it a compact adventure that doesn’t compromise on Himalayan magic. It’s also significantly less crowded than the classic ABC route, allowing for uninterrupted communion with nature.

We Ramblers’ approach ensures that trekkers get more than just great views. Their itinerary includes hidden side trails, cultural stops in Tolka and Landruk, and warm interactions with villagers whose hospitality is as breathtaking as the peaks themselves. All accommodations are pre-vetted for safety and sanitation, and eco-friendly practices are built into every step, from reusables to proper waste disposal.

This trek is highly recommended for first-time trekkers, families, or those with limited time but unlimited curiosity.

Langtang Valley Trek — Rebirth After the Earthquake

The Langtang Valley Trek is more than a trek; it’s a tribute to resilience. Once devastated by the 2015 Nepal earthquake, the region has since made a powerful recovery, and We Ramblers has played an active role in bringing sustainable tourism back to Langtang.

Located just north of Kathmandu near the Tibetan border, Langtang offers a unique blend of alpine wilderness and Tibetan Buddhist culture. The trail winds past roaring rivers, yak pastures, glacial moraines, and ancient gompas, culminating in Kyanjin Gompa, a scenic village ringed by snow peaks like Langtang Lirung and Dorje Lakpa.

We Ramblers’ Langtang itinerary includes optional hikes to Tserko Ri (for sunrise over the Himalayas), cheese factory visits, and interaction with local Tamang families who share their stories of survival and hope.

What makes this trek stand out is the emotional undercurrent. Every rebuilt tea house, every prayer flag fluttering in the wind, every smiling child is a sign of revival. By choosing to walk here, trekkers become part of a larger journey, one that goes beyond mountains and maps.

Langtang is moderately challenging and suitable for those seeking both adventure and cultural immersion. Spring and autumn are ideal seasons, but We Ramblers ensures trail access and safety all year round.

Meet the Locals, Travel the Culture: We Ramblers’ Local Employment Ethos

We Ramblers is not just in the business of travel; it’s in the business of transformation. And that begins with its people.

All on-ground personnel, from guides to porters to lodge coordinators, are hired locally. It not only strengthens regional economies but ensures that trekkers get the most authentic and enriching experiences. Local guides know the terrain, the traditions, and the trail stories in ways that no outsider can replicate.

Moreover, We Ramblers supports inclusive employment, actively training and hiring women, marginalized groups, and youth from remote villages. The result? A trek that is not only scenic but socially meaningful.

Every cup of tea served, every legend told by a fireplace, every folk song sung along the trail — it’s all part of a larger cultural preservation effort powered by those who call the Himalayas home.
Eco-Tourism, Not Ego-Tourism: Sustainability at the Heart of the Journey

In fragile mountain ecosystems, travel must tread lightly. We Ramblers recognizes this, integrating sustainability into every layer of its operations.

Treks are designed around minimal impact principles. Guests are encouraged to carry reusable bottles, avoid single-use plastics, and participate in waste segregation. Accommodations are chosen based on environmental practices, and wherever possible, We Ramblers supports homestays or community lodges that reinvest earnings locally.

Beyond logistics, the company conducts traveler orientation sessions on respecting sacred spaces, wildlife, and cultural norms. Partnerships with local conservation groups and participation in trail clean-up drives also reflect a long-term commitment to the Himalayan environment.

In the words of the company’s tagline: “We don’t conquer mountains — we walk with them.”
