Kathmandu Valley Day Biking Trip - Sankhu - Nagarkot

December 2016, Tripadvisor

During December 2016 / January 2017, my mother and I did an incredible camping trek: the Ganesh Himal Charity Trek, booked with Earthbound Expeditions in Kathmandu. This was our second trek with booked with the company, after the very good experiences we had the first time. The trek through the Ganesh Himal area is something I highly recommend doing due to its adventurous character and the camping on high altitudes. We passed through villages only on the first and last day of the trek, camping close to the homes of locals who do as much as possible to deliver you a memorable stay. We never encountered more hospitable people than the Nepalese. However, camping in nature, at high altitudes with incredible views of the Himalayan peaks was absolutely an unforgettable experience. The nights were so cold that the tents were frozen from the outside when we woke up in the morning. This was no problem because hot tea and hot water for washing were immediately served after waking up. Do not think that this will be your only cup of tea for the day or that you will have to survive on simple breakfast, lunch and dinner. The food was really of high quality, better than we are used to at home. Cook Kadji was doing the best he could to serve us delicious and varied food during the trek. All the food, cooking utensils and camping equipment (with a toilet / shower tent included) was carried by the porters, who are as well responsible for our wonderful time in the mountains. It took time to get used to 7 porters carrying all the heavy stuff for you. Especially because we are used to carrying our own stuff as lightweight as possible. Then again, it is a charity trekking and this way they earn some money for them and their families. It was also nice to have some company to talk to and they were amazing at building fires when the sun set and the temperatures dropped rapidly. The highlights of the trek were Sing-La Pass and Sing-La Top. From here we had amazing views on the Annapurna massif, Manaslu, Ganesh Himal and Langtang Lirung. Where we had to share the view with hundreds of other travelers on Poon Hill, we were the only ones on Sing-La Top. Our trek ended in the beautiful and tranquil village Darkha, in the Dhading District, where we stayed for three more nights in the homestay of our guide and friend Gopal. This was a warm and happy reunion of me and my Nepalese family with whom I got so close in less than two weeks in April / May 2015.

This is the first trip I've ever done with Earthbound Expeditions and I have to say it was a great one. In the style of an expedition, this pilgrimage (yatra) was well planned including management of itinerary, visas and management of changes as situations arose. The ground team is knowledgeable and the trek team are just awesome, from the trip leader, to the local guides to the porters and right through to the food, being vegetarian can sometimes be difficult on travels, but this is certainly not the case with Earthbound Expeditions. It's a pretty basic trip but is fully packed with amazing delights and sights, it's hard work at times but is definitely worth it. Nepal is safe to travel to and this trip is definitely a fantastic one...go on, give it a go! Jasmin.

I did the Jomsom Muktinath Trek in May together with my boyfriend. We changed the offered tour and got our own ‚private‘ tour for 8 days. We went together with our guide Namaraj Sapkota and our porter. Because we spent some more time in Nepal apart from trekking, we started the tour in Pokhara. On the tour we slept in comfortable Teahouses and also the drinks and food were quite good. The impressions and views will always be rembered. Our guide, Namaraj Sapkota, told us a lot about the people oft the Anapurna area and Nepal in general. As well as the rituals of the temple in Muktinath, the whole story about the earthquake and even the traditional way of living in this area. Our guide was always careing about us and our health. All the time were feeling pretty save. We didn’t see any effets oft he earthquake in the Anapurna region, all the roads and the bridges were in good conditions, so we had no problems. In Kathmandu we only saw a few buildings and temple which were beeing rebuild. The whole trip was very well organized by Earthbound Expeditions and individual and sponaeous wishes were always possible. We can highly recommed Earthbound Expeditions and our Guide Namaraj Sapkota. The next trip will definitely be with them. All in all we can say the country and the people are amazing, it has an exhilarating landscape.
