Sri Lanka Tour

It can be very difficult to choose between lot of trekking companies in Nepal and choice of going with a non-local European Company. I am very happy with the choice I made of going with Earthbound Expeditions, keeping it local to add more to the local economy. Rajan is the most professional, friendly business owner I have ever met. Bishal Rai (my guide) were experienced and informative, clearly having excellent knowledge of all the issues regarding trekking in Nepal, as well as having excellent communication skills and being very conscious of safety and low impact on the environment. Above all they were friendly, flexible to my travel needs and very accommodating. I received everything promised and was very happy with my accommodations that were better than expected and I can highly recommend them.

This amazing and much awaited trip began with the meticulous and efficient planning by Rajan! I was thoroughly impressed with his prompt and timely response to all my request and changes. Even before the trip began, I knew I was in good hands and will enjoy this much desired birthday gift to Nepal! From the first impression at the airport till the last moments, Rajan and his team went the extra miles. The tour around Kathmandu was excellent with the services of Arjun, our guide. The days that followed where we visited Pokhara, Nagarkot and Bhakhtipur were seamlessly planned and detailed attention was given to all our needs. His recommendation of the Heritage Hotel was remarkable! We simply loved the authenticity and service delivery of the hotel! The hotel itself was a destination and attraction! The cultural dance experience at our dinner in Kathmandu with Rajan's lively and entertaining company was so memorable. After having rendered such remarkable service, Rajan's final touch of presenting his hand picked flowers from his garden as a birthday bouquet to me was just so unforgettable! And his parting gifts to my family will also remain close to our hearts! I am so glad that i chose my special vacation with Earthbound and I am looking forward to many more trips in Nepal with them. Surely, I will be sending many more of my friends to them! Kudos to the team at Earthbound! Thanks Badri..i wouldn't have experienced this if not for you!

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.
