Bhutan tour, Exploring the Hidden Kingdom in the Himalayas

December 2013, Tripadvisor

I have previously traveled with Earthbound and they were fantastic. When I returned I hadn't made any solid plans, after talking with Rajan about where I wanted to go and see he was more than happy to assist and book the trips for me. Booking with Earthbound is an effortless process, Rajan makes the process easy and trouble free. Earthbound have some amazing staff and I have traveled and met a few staff throughout my trips. They are always accommodating and really know how to make sure your have good health while on the trip. They kept reminding us to drink more water and what foods we should avoid so we didn't get sick while on our travels. This really helped as the last thing you want is to be sick. They are extremely knowledgeable. I would recommend this company to anyone and I wouldn't travel with anyone else. Going to book my third trip with them again soon.

This company is top-notch. They put together a well-organized itinerary ahead of my travel to Nepal, based on my desire to experience both the Everest and Annapurna regions. The service was great -- everyone who works from the company, from its president to the guides and porters, really want to make your time in Nepal special. I felt really taken care of, a big comfort as I was traveling solo in Nepal. Definitely manage your expectations about accommodations along Nepal's treks. Lodges at higher elevations are super simple, will get chilly at night and may not have hot water for showering. Consider it all part of the adventure! One tip: As I did want a more comfortable place to stay in Namche (you need to stay there three nights along the Everest region route), I did request an upgrade to a Yeti Mountain Lodge, which is super luxe for the Nepal trek circuit.

I was excited but skeptical to embark on this trip but it ended up being an amazing experience, no small thanks to Earthbound Expeditions. From the moment we booked, there were emails and info regarding how to prepare and what to bring etc. Communications were always prompt. On the actual trip, our guide and porters were amazing. I have a fear of heights so some parts of the trail were challenging, but Thakur and the porters seemed to know exactly when I needed help and took me by the hand and led me down/or up the mountain. I look back at pictures and think back and am amazed by what was accomplished on this trip. I definitely recommend this trip, this tour company etc. Just keep in mind you are not going to four star hotels and enjoy each moment as it comes. Every part of the experience can be special. It all depends on your perspective.

We linked up with Earthbound through email after reading about it on trip advisor. Rajan was extremely prompt with replies and we soon had an itinerary mapped out. When we arrived at the airport, we were picked up by a driver and taken to our hotel. There, we spoke with Rajan over the phone and the following morning Rajan met us and escorted us to the domestic airport in Kathmandu where we took a flight to Pokhara. We met our guide, Lehk, and our porter, Jit, upon arrival and began our trek after lunch. The accommodation throughout the trek is simple and rustic - no hot water showers, we washed up with room temperature water at best but this is a luxury. The rooms are fairly clean, basic and the food was excellent. Nothing was unbearable. Lehk and Jit took good care of us throughout the trek. We enjoyed our trek tremendously and will definitely engage earthbound expeditions when we return.
