- Trip note
- It is important to be noted that the Kathmandu -Lukla - Kathmandu flights often gets delayed by hours or even gets cancelled for a day or few days due to unfavorable weather conditions in the mountain airstrip Lukla. Such unfavorable conditions may arise even during the best seasons including months October and November hence inis always better to prepare ahead. In such cases, you must be prepared for long waits either at Kathmandu or Lukla airports, as this can happen either at the start or at the end of the trek and sometime in both cases.
- We will do our best to avoid such delays, and arrange the earliest next flight for you but it might not always work well as there are many people in que for days long. In case of emergencies and need of urgent flight, the Helicopter rescue can be another option to escape to and from the mountain, except for some bad weather the Helicopters always have easy excess in the mountains. This can be arranged upon your request with some additional cost which sometime is covered by your insurance as well. The Helicopter can be chartered from both the airports, Kathmandu and Lukla with the tentative cost of US$ 3000 per lift which at a time can accommodate maximum of 5 Person.
- Having said this, we still suggest you to mentally prepare for possible delay/cancellations and arrange some extra contingency days which we can save for the end of the trip and if everything goes normal these days can be utilized for exploring other beautiful destinations around the valley as per your interest and we, the Adventure Bound is always there to provide you different options to utilize the days in best ways.

About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- peterrU285UJ0 contributionsA true sample of excellent tour guide !Laxman arrange us Kathmandu city tour. We had an amazing time with our tour guide Arjun, He was very informative and tour was flexible and very accommodating. Our trip was enjoyable .Thank you very much.Written January 17, 2025
- Z7699RWrebeccag0 contributionsBest experience!I originally went solo on the ABC trek alone and found the wonderful Raj halfway through, and I’m so glad I did. He took me on as part of his group, and he was the best guide I could’ve asked for to finish the trek. He was so helpful and explained about the landscape and had lots of good information. He is the best photographer and didn’t mind when we stopped every couple of minutes for photo opportunities!! 😆 We stayed in wonderful guest houses along the way and through every step to ABC, I felt well guided and safe with Raj. I recommend this wholeheartedly especially for other female solo travelers. This company and the guides in general do a wonderful job at what they do. Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️Written January 16, 2025
- annakK3016DK0 contributionsABC trek with friendsIt was an unforgettable experience. Roman was our guide, and he made our trip amazing. He took care of everyone and was always ready to help if anyone needed extra attention. Laxman assisted with organizing everything and managed all the challenges we faced due to delayed flights. He even lent us sleeping bags, and we stayed one night at his hotel in Kathmandu. His son Subas helped us with cash exchange and joined us during the trek. We couldn’t have imagined a better time in Nepal. Namaste! 🙏 We highly recommend the entire company. 🙂Written January 8, 2025

- Cruiser589025321630 contributionsWe can warmly recommend Adventure BoundWe completed the Annapurna Base Camp Trek in 10 days and are thrilled. The entire organization was great. We were taken by tourist bus from Kathmandu to Pokhara and after a night in the hotel we started trekking. Our guide, Suman, picked us up at the hotel and we set off together towards the starting point of our trek. Suman deserves special mention for the entire trek. He is a very competent, caring and highly motivated guide. He took excellent care of us every day and kept all organizational issues away from us. Even with spontaneous rescheduling, he made everything possible and fulfilled all of our wishes. In addition, he gave us very in-depth information about the culture of Nepal and the flora, fauna and mountains. He also made the right decisions for us in dealing with symptoms of altitude sickness, for which we are very grateful to him. In the end, we were extremely happy to have made it to ABC and we arrived back in Pokhara after 10 days of hiking. Adventure Bound and Suman are highly recommended!Written November 15, 2024

- harrywU5903WM0 contributionsAmazing guide and company for the Annapurna circuitWe had a wonderful 11days on the Annapurna circuit being guided by Ganesh. He went above and beyond to make sure we were always comfortable and happy in our accommodation and always ate the best food available. It really took the hassle and worry out of doing the trek. He was extremely knowledgeable about the trek and the local area and we found it very interesting talking to him about Nepal. Adventure Bound and Laxman (the owner) made the whole trek easy and worry free. His communication was excellent at all times and he made sure everything ran smoothly even when we had a last minute change of itinerary (our decision). We could not recommend Adventure Bound, our guide Ganesh and Laxman enough if you are planning on hiking the Annapurna circuit.Written November 12, 2024
- merlejohanneh0 contributionsA great adventure with our great guide Raji!!We went on the gokyo-EBC trek with Adventurebound and our lovely guide Raji!! The hike was tough but awesome and pretty good organized. We had a good connection with our guide Raji and he helped us out everytime weve got a question or a problem. He knew the treks, the best teahouses and weatherconditions very good and was good experienced so we felt comfortable with him all the time. I also felt like he had a personal interest in us doing well, different to other guides of other groups. I would totally go hiking with Raji again and im totally happy with my experience with him and Adventurebound!!:)Written November 6, 2024

He explained a lot about the Nepali culture and the culture and was also very interested about us. We can totally recommed the trek, the company and Bibek as a guide.Written November 3, 2024

- derwino6140 contributionsGreat team work between manager and guideInitially booked in for Everest Base Camp trip however due to unforeseen circumstances and flight delays, we decided to cancel and change to Annapurna Base Camp. Laxman and our guide Santosh were simply amazing, well organised and on the ball. On the same day we made the decision we moved from Ramechhap Airport to Pokara by plane, ready to start trekking the following morning. Honestly without these two we would not have been able to arrange things this quickly. Annapurna Base Camp trek was straight forward with a few complications with accommodation, however we had a great time with some great stories to come home with.Written October 30, 2024
- 600amyh6000 contributionsAdventure of a lifetime!We did the Ghorepani-Poonhill circuit with Raman and had the time of our lives. The scenery was incredible: going between waterfalls, forests, hills and mountains sprinkled with villages and animals. And the sunrise from Poon Hill was other-worldly. Raman was a knowledgeable guide with a great sense of humour and knew some brilliant card games! We will remember this trip for the rest of our lives and hope to come back to Nepal to hike with Raman again in the future.Written October 28, 2024

I booked with this Adventure Bound for Èverest base camp and gokyo treks thanks the recommendation of my friends.
I am really glad, everything has been perfectly organised by laxman and our guide raj was the best experience. They were flexible and propose to adapt our trek should we wish to. My guide raj is experience and knowledgeable at mountains and I would highly recommend booking a trek with adventure bound family .

Our experience with Adventure Bound's Everest Base Camp Trek in May 2023 was nothing short of extraordinary. The journey through Nepal's breathtaking landscapes was made even better by our exceptional guide, Raj. His knowledge, warmth, and passion for the mountains added immense value to the trek. Additionally, our porter's dedication and strength were commendable, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable journey. We highly recommend Adventure Bound for an unforgettable expedition, with Raj and the porter making it an unforgettable and enriching experience.

This was a trek I had wanted to do for years. A friend recommended Adventure Bound to me and she was right - Adventure Bound were so easy to deal with and accommodating of my needs. My guide Chakra was so knowledgeable and helpful, friendly, extremely patient, and looked after all of my needs especially as a solo trekker. He is very experienced and I always felt safe if I became sick from altitude. Parsu, my porter, is so strong and looked after my bag with such care and always delivered it before I even arrived to my room! I would definitely book another tour with Adventure Bound and with Chakra as my guide again.

I had some free time when I changed jobs, so I went on my dream trek to Everest Base Camp.
Even though we didn't have much time before departure, the arrangements were made very smoothly.
Thank you to the company president, Laxman, and Yasuda for your kind assistance.
The trekking guide was Rai, who speaks fluent English.
I'm not good at English, so I was a little worried about communication at first,
but she was very polite, using the translation function on my phone.
She was also very kind and helped me when I got sick with altitude sickness, and thanks to Rai, I was able to finish the trek safely.
She was a very reliable and wonderful guide, who took care of me in many small ways, despite the language barrier.
The view from Kala Patthar was truly amazing and unforgettable.
I was a little worried about traveling alone as a woman, but I was able to make wonderful memories without worrying.
I'd like to go trekking in Annapurna next.
I'd definitely like to ask for your help again when I do!

I did EBC trekking solo and highly recommend the Adventure Bound and its guide Santosh. He is very attentive, kind, resourceful, and patient. Actually, I couldn't reach the EBC because on the 4th day, when I get out of the lodge, I fell at the stairs and twisted my ankle. I was barely able to walk and was certain that I couldn't make it to the EBC. So we changed the initial itinerary and decided our final destination to be Dinboche, and Nangkartshang peak.
Hike up to Nangkartshang peak was tough. I was really slow and if I were in a group tour, any guide would have sent me back to the village. I was that slow, but Santosh was really patient and I was able to reach the peak. The view from there was absolutely stunning.
On the way back to Namuche, Santosh suggested me to drop by Khumjung village, which we planned to visit on the 4th day and failed to do, and staying that beautiful village was an another wonderful experience for me.
Furthermore, throughout my 12 days of trekking, he kept my room for on my own! Sharing a room with a total stranger must have been pretty stressful, so I really appreciate his effort to arrange rooms for individual use.
If I ever have a chance to go to Nepal again, I definitely choose the Adventure Bound and guide Santosh as my partner. Thank you so much.

We completed a 15-day trek leading to Everest Base Camp, the adventure was a pleasure thanks to Adventure Bound and in particular with our guide, Raj. He was exceptional during the stay, planning, reassuring and caring to make us have an incredible adventure. It was our first stay in Nepal and we will happily return with Raj.

Excellent service from the Adventure Bound team. Laxman and our guide Raman were very friendly, knowledgable and went out of their way many times to make our trip truly unforgettable. They guided us through the beautiful mountains, helped with all our questions and were pleasant to be around. Will book with them again, when I come back to Nepal (which I will!)

Hi, is states that the group size is 2. Is this a tour with a guide for just two people?
Written May 2, 2022
Can any one tell me if August is good time to go or it will be a waste of time coz of the wether and I won’t see any nice views ?
Written November 22, 2019
Between June and August it's summer and monsoon season: this means lots of rain. Rain implies grey skies. So I guess August would not be an ideal time to trek to EBC and to enjoy the views. I went for two weeks in October and it had only rained one day. And this wasn't even rain but a soft drizzle. So, if you have a choice, don't go in August.
