My partner and I organised a tour with Earthbound and were very happy. We made some late changes (some of which were quite considerable changes) and they (Rajan) happily accommodated them. We initailly scheduled a trek with Earthbound through Gokyo and Everest and changed it to trekking Everest, Annapurna, Chitwan and then into India for a 16 day tour.

We were very happy (even surprised on many occasions) with the quality of hotels and the guides. We highly recommend Earthbound Expeditions to other travellers.

My son and I contacted Rajan of Earthbound Expeditions to help us put together a short trek up to the Annapurna Sanctuary. It was an amazing experience, and I hope you will consider it too if you are reading this. The villages and views along this route are like stepping back in time. The views of the three peaks of Annapurna were so magnificent, but equally amazing was walking along acient stone steps used by villagers who have lived here in this high mountains for centuries. We saw people plowing with water buffaloo, local brew being made, old women in colorful skirts and hand-embrodiered tops wearing beautiful beaded necklaces carrying heavy loads in baskets on top of their hears, and barefoot! We sat in the morning watching the sun turn the tops of Annapurna pink, and drank hot tea and ate momo's in a Tibetan teahouse at night. You can't help but feel special to be given this opportunity to visit this remote corner of the world, and Earthbound did a superb job in supplying us with a great guide, Narendra Timalsina, and a good route for us to take. I look forwrd to doing it again-I hope soon-and this time maybe go farther. I will aslo add that the rigors of the uphill climbing is quite a test of physical endurance if you are not used to backpacking-I'd advise you get in shape and you'll enjoy the trekking so much more!! Best of luck to all going to the mysterious and ancient Kathmandu--you will have a Friend in Rajan and Earthbound Exped.! when my luggage didn't show up right away, he was so helpful in assisting me with trying to locate my bags. It's good to have a friend in this part of the world, you can't go wrong with Rajan!

My friends and I embarked on a Mustang trek with Earthbound Expeditions in Aug 2008 and it was the trek of our lives, for many reasons.

We had a tough time on trek because of the weather and difficult terrain on some days. Honestly, we are just a group of city girls who have a simple sense of adventure. We are after all, a pampered lot.

Amid all the sweat, pains and aches, the one big reason why we are missing those trekking days very dearly now, is the staff of Earthbound Expeditions who journeyed with us and cared for our needs. Kedar, Dibash and Gokul kept us going with their smiling faces, patience and alertness. Nothing brings them down. They are our pillars of strength and support. When we placed our hands in theirs, we know they will risk everything to bring us to safety.

Over 11 days, we built a friendship as close as family and trust as strong as steel. We missed them now that we are back home. We’ll definitely return again to Earthbound Expeditions. These people love their work so much it’s such a pleasure spending time with them, trekking with them.

Me and my boyfreidn went in Nepal for a trekking on Annapurna region in August. We contacted Earthbound Expedition from Italy. They were very accomodating toward our need and request. We wanted to try a nonconventional trek (Tilicho Lake, tea house trekking) and we found them really prepared. They took care of us from airport pick up. Our guide (Sidip) and porter (Gokul) were both very prepared. Alway nice and careful. They were able to understand how we were feeling just looking at us. They knew every single stone of the path we were walking on. We had always good accomodations. The accomodation in Kathmandu was also very good (Samsara Hotel). Rajan, chief of Earthbound Expedition, took us to a restaurant for a tipical Nepalese evening. He was really very kind, hospitality was great! We really recommend Earthbound Expeditions!
