We completed the ABC (Annapurna Base Camp) trek under the excellent guidance of Yakub and Manjung, and we couldn’t have asked for a better team or a better experience! As first-time visitors to Nepal and first-timers on a multi-day trek, we really appreciated Yakub’s reassurance and support throughout the journey. He made sure we were well taken care of and did his best to ensure everything was arranged smoothly and comfortably. His guidance gave us the confidence to enjoy the trek and make the most of this incredible experience. A huge thank you to Yakub and Manjung for making our first trekking experience in Nepal so memorable. We highly recommend their services to anyone planning a trek in Nepal!

Such an amazing first time experiencing Nepal’s Annapurna Base Camp with Ruby Alpine Trail. My friends and I could feel the sincerity and warmth from Yakub and his team during the hike. It was my first time doing such long hikes hence I was a little worried but the guidance and the assurance from his team throughout really helped me push through. There was never a dull moment during the trip! Thank you to Yakub, Bickel and all the porters for being so supportive, joyful and kind everyday of the hike. I honestly felt I’ve left Nepal with so many new friends and memories. The friendship we’ve built during the trip made it so hard to leave. 🥹 Can’t wait for the next hike in Nepal with Ruby Alpine Trails! ❤️

An unforgettable bucket-list experience with Ruby Alpine Trails! I’ve just completed the Mardi Himal trek with Ruby Alpine Trails, and honestly, i couldn’t recommend them highly enough! I went on the trip with three other girls, and from start to finish, the whole experience was absolutely incredible. Our guide, Yakub, was just the loveliest person and truly made the trip so special. He had such great energy, and his kindness, patience and positive attitude made such a difference, especially on the more challenging parts of the trek. Nothing was ever too much trouble, he was always happy to answer all my questions, and he created such a lovely, relaxed atmosphere for us all. We also had two amazing porters, Marich Man and Phurbar, who were absolutely fantastic and played such a huge part in making our experience so memorable. We’re incredibly grateful to all three of them. The Mardi Himal trek itself was a real bucket-list experience, with the most incredible scenery and memories we’ll treasure forever. A huge thank you to Yakub for giving the four of us such an unforgettable adventure. If you’re considering trekking in Nepal, i would wholeheartedly recommend booking with Ruby Alpine Trails. You’ll be in the best hands, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better team! Thank you for making this such a special trip - we’ll remember it for a lifetime! ❤️

I had a wonderful time on the Manaslu Circuit with Yakub! The team was professional, friendly, and attentive throughout the trek, always making sure we were safe and well taken care of. They created a great atmosphere and made the entire experience enjoyable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone planning to trek Manaslu!

All the guides and porters are really nice and patient. I felt very safe and well taken care of. They organised everything and took good care of us. Will definitely recommend them to anyone who wants a seamless hiking experience in Nepal!!

We did the ABC tour with a group of ten in October 2026. Ruby Alpine guides took great care of us and made sure we were alright throughout the whole way. Will definitely choose them for the next treks.

Maria Norman

Me and my (now husband) went trekking with Yakub in 2019 before he set up his new company, but have been following him on social media every since. Yakub is a genuinely fabulous guy who took us on a very memorable trek in Annapurna region (mardi himal) where we got engaged. Yakub helped us celebrate s, was professional, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. I'm really pleased to hear he has set up his own trekking company as I remember speaking to him about this 7 years ago! Congrats to him and I really hope that we can come back and trek with you again (with our two children!) when there older!

I did the Poon Hill trek with Yakub and he was a wonderful guide! It was my first time doing a multi day trek and he was very reassuring and supportive. It was a pleasure to spend time with him (and play lots of card games). He always made sure we had what we needed and has a clear passion for hiking and his country which we loved to hear about. If I returned to Nepal I would 100% plan a trip with Yakub again.

8 days hike with the best Nepal guide ever. Consistently sharing tips or historical facts regarding the region, bugs/plants we come across. Humble and willing to improve as a guide too. Will recommend anyone give them a shot for their hikes!

onghong

Our guide Yakub was incredibly personable and sincere throughout the whole trip. Our 8-day Poon Hill and Mardi Himal trek was an unforgettable experience, and before we even started, Yakub met up with us to go through the essentials. For anything we didn’t have, Ruby Alpine Trails provided it: hiking poles, sleeping bags, puffer jackets, spikes, even hand sanitizer to fend off leeches. Throughout the hike, we were so well taken care of, from our rooms and food to water, and yes, even having leeches removed from our bloodied socks. Yakub was attentive and quick to react on tricky pathways, always making sure we were safe, while also teaching us about the local culture, the mountains, and the nature around us. And Manjung, an absolute beast. Carrying over 30kg on his back, and he still outwalked all of us. Wouldn’t want to do this with anyone other than Ruby Alpine Trails.

Yet again, another amazing Mardi Himal and Poon Hill experience with Yakub! Highly recommend, already my 4th trip with him

Evan Dutton

I completed the Manaslu Circuit Trek in 2019 with Yakub Ghale, whom I met through a different trekking company at that time. It was truly an unforgettable experience in Nepal. Huge thanks to Yakub for his excellent guidance, deep local knowledge, and constant support throughout the journey. He was professional, friendly, and always focused on our safety and comfort. Recently, I saw his company, Ruby Alpine Trails, shared on social media, and I couldn’t stop myself from writing this review. After experiencing his guiding service personally, I can confidently say he has now built a strong and trustworthy trekking company. I highly recommend Ruby Alpine Trails to anyone planning to visit or trek in Nepal. With his passion, expertise, and dedication, I am sure he and his team will organize an exceptional and memorable journey for every traveler. Thank you, Yakub, for making this adventure so special!

Lang Tang Valley + Yala Peak Brought a bunch of friends with Yakub & Ruby Alpine Trails to Lang Tang Valley + Yala Peak! Great experience and planning by yakub, and summitted my first peak with him and manjung! Will always recommend!

If you want the very best time trekking in Nepal, go to Ruby Alpine Trails. My son and I went trekking with Saugat in the Annapurna region of Nepal. It was an utterly incredible experience - literally the best thing we've ever done. From the jaw dropping beauty of the country to the warmth and kindness of everyone we met - just incredible. Yakub, Saugat and the team have a very special company in Ruby Alpine Trails - a lovely team, super experienced and just brilliant to be with. Go!!!!! You will not regret it, I assure you.

Winnie

Manaslu Circuit My trekking trip with Yakub was special, because i can feel that his service is genuine, and he was serving with his heart and always trying to give the best experiences for his trekkers.
