Bhote Koshi River Rafting

My colleague and I took a day trip led by Shree Ram from Nagarkot to Changu Narayan, with a side visit to Bhaktapur. Being here for work, we didn't have time for a full trek, and this was out way of trying to get out and see more of Nepal. Our guide was Shree Ram, and he was very informed, very helpful, and very accommodating. Knowing that we had a particular interest in agriculture in Nepal, he went out of his way to answer questions and share extra information on this topic. We had an amazing sunrise over the Himalayas, a great stop for tea and Nepalese donuts, and an introduction to Nepalese lifestyle and culture unlike what we could have gotten anywhere else. Both Shree Ram and the driver were prompt, courteous, and professional. We couldn't be happier and hope we have the opportunity to go out with Earthbound Expeditions and Shree Ram again.

I spent only 1 week in Nepal. This meant I didn't have much time to go on a long hike and at the same time experience all the other exciting things Kathmandu has to offer. So I decided to go on a 1 day hike over night. My friend and I found earthbound expeditions while walking through the streets and decided to see what they had to offer. I am glad we did. The prices were very reasonable and they were very professional people. The best part of our trip (other then our amazing views of the mountains) was our tour guide. He was very kind and sincere! He loved to have fun and was up for having a good time. You could really see he loves what he does! Thank you Thakur for making the trip such a memorable one!!

My husband found Earthbound online, choosing them due to the good reviews. We were not disappointed. We were very picky with our itinerary and they accommodated it fully. We chose to go with high end hotels which were all excellent. Rajan was very careful to manage our expectations about places where guest houses which wasn't necessarily for us as we're experienced travellers having stayed in all sorts of places, but it was a good practice on his part. Guides were absolutely excellent throughout. Our driver was particularly good - very friendly and helpful. They also adapted to us changing one or two small things on our itinerary as we went along. All round, we would highly recommend as a great way to see Nepal.

Booked a trip after researching with different tour companies. Wanted to get a full Nepal experience in and ended up going with these guys. So glad I did! My friends left everything up to me so I had others to no disappoint as well and we were all very pleased with our tour and service we received. Dealing with Rajan was a pleasure. Very quick to respond to e-mails, very helpful and informative. Met (and dined) with him while in Kathmandu and both my friends I traveled with say they will be booking again with him when they come back to Nepal for EBC. We booked a 10 day tour of Nepal, starting with sight seeing in Kathmandu, followed by a 3-day trek around the Annapurna mountain range, and another 3 days spent doing jungle activities in Chitwan National Park, ending back in Kathmandu. Our guide Ratna was excellent as well. Had read other reviews and heard good things about Ratna beforehand on here and he did not disappoint! Our porter Kiran was also fun to have around. New to the field and rather young, he was able to carry our light (to him) load. At dinner we would try to help him with his English. After our trek, I had gotten a stomach flu while in Chitwan, and Ratna stayed by my side, bringing me tea and company while my friends were out exploring. My friends did not enjoy the tour bus ride back to Kathmandu from Chitwan but I on the other hand found it quite the local experience! There were some doomed vehicles that had gone over the cliff at a couple spots on the route and that seemed to worry other travelers that we could be next, but we made it back safe and sound with stories to tell. If I ever find myself back in Nepal, will definitely book with Rajan and Earthbound again. Won't bother looking elsewhere. :)
