"The EBC challenge was simply my best…"

The EBC challenge was simply my best trip with Earthbound team. The Earthbound team led by Badri, is just ideal as they make the experience all worthwhile - motivation. As the motto goes - "there ain't mountain high enough"

5 out of 5.

"The worst tour ever"

The worst tour ever. Signed up for an itinerary that changed everyday. Wake up and something was omitted from the tour. Almost everyday something was eliminated or changed Big rip off. Stay away from this company.

"I have nothing but great things to say…"

I have nothing but great things to say about the team at Earthbound! I did EBC + Gokyo Lakes trek and loved every second! Very well run, organized, and accommodated.

"Annapurna Circuit"

Our group had an excellent trip to Nepal and trekking the Annapurna Circuit. The trek is stunning but the trip was a success due to the organization, logistical planning and personal touches provided by Earthbound Expeditions.

"Phenomenal 9 day trek to ABC!"

Phenomenal 9 day trek to Annapurna Base Camp with a couple days on both ends in Kathmandu and Pokhara. Rajan and his team were simply amazing. Earthbound handled everything from airport transfers, meal reservations, teahouse accommodations, and even offered assistance in wondering the shops to find the best deals. Earthbound's reputation as a top notch tour operator is well-earned. I'll absolutely be back and will be booking directly with Rajan!! (If you're curious, most western outfitters subcontract to local guides and Earthbound is usually there first call. Skip the middleman and book direct)

"A fabulous experience"

Earthbound Expeditions organised a 28-day trip for us that combined Manaslu and Upper Mustang treks, with a short rest in Pokhara. Everything was organised via email before our arrival in Kathmandu, and the few necessary changes during the trip were minor and seamless (28 days is a long time, some changes are bound to occur due to weather or other circumstances!). We had the absolute BEST time! Naresh (guide) and Som (porter) certainly contributed to make our trip one to remember for all the good reasons, and deserve two massive thumbs up for their professionalism and overall kindness. And Rajan was the perfect host, passionate about his country and a great story teller.

"Experience of a lifetime!"

Rajan ji and his entire crew made the Annapurna Circuit Trek an experience we will remember forever ! Thank you for your attention to detail and for all the help and care! I will be back in nepal am sure many times over thanks to Earthbound expeditions !!

"Amazing experience and looking forward…"

Amazing experience and looking forward to my next trip.

"The best trekking experience"

Nepal is not just known for its great mountains but also known for its great people, their friendliness and their openness to people from far and near. If this is how people of Nepal are, Rajan and his team are the Crem de la Crem of hospitality. He and his team have mastered the art of trekking and guiding novices to fulfill their trekking dreams.
Any trekking operation is built on a few fundamentals that make it successful.. Safety, understanding the trekker's ability, the journey and finally, fun.
Earthbound Expeditions, under Rajan, made sure that all of these were considered each and every day of the hike. This may seem natural and trivial, but setting this precedence early on ensured that our team of 30 (kids & adults) knew our priority at any given time or day. Some of our guides had done multiple Everest rescue missions, Annapurna circuits, EBC and knew the lay of the land to guide us where to rest, where to eat, take pics or even realize that someone is having issues due to altitude sickness etc.
I am glad we went with Rajan and team. Though it was the first time for me with them, many of the folks in the team had already trekked EBC with Rajan and the team a few years back. 
I would highly recommend trekkers to choose Earthbound Expeditions.

"15 day family Nepal tour and himalayan hike with young children"

We have just arrived back from an absolutely fabulous 2 week family holiday in Nepal. This was my 4th time in this incredible country but my 1st time since I had children. I have been here as a solo traveller, with parents and also on my honeymoon, and every time I have used Rajan and Earthbound Expeditions. In fact I would never use anyone else. I completely trusted Rajan to create an itinerary perfect for my family. We have 3 children aged 9, 7 and 5, and Rajan didn't disappoint, providing a varied and interesting itinerary, which would be achievable for all the children.

In the 2 weeks we toured Kathmandu, went white water rafting on the Trishuli River, visited the beautiful Newari town of Bandipur, did a 4 day trek in the Annapurna Himalayan range, spent time in lovely Pokhara and last but not least went on a jungle safari in Chitwan National Park.

We all loved every part of the holiday, enhanced by Rajan always providing such excellent and professional guides. Namaraj, who was with us from the Kathmandu tour to the end of the trek was first class, and we were joined on the trek by Som and Robindra as porters and also extra help for the children, and the kids loved them! I think the highlight was making dance off videos with them for TikTok!

Rajan remained in contact throughout the whole 2 weeks. When we decided that the drive from Pokhara to Chitwan was a bit too much for the children (a little bumpy and slow going at the moment whilst they upgrade the roads), he very quickly booked us onto flights. He also changed a hotel for us at the last minute because we thought it would be nice to reward the children with a pool after they had done so well on the trek.

Overall I have nothing but positive things to say about our experience, both of Rajan, Earthbound Expeditions, and Nepal in general. It may not seem like an obvious family destination, however the people were incredible with the children, the experiences are life enhancing for the children, and even on the trek there are always food options, even for fussy children albeit basic. It is very accessible and children and parents alike will never be bored with the wealth of experiences to be had here. As their tourism slogan goes, Naturally Nepal once is not enough. Our family will definitely be back. We might even tackle Everest Base Camp next time!
