Expected great, Got much more... Before Covid, I longed to travel to the Himalayas and happened upon Earthbound’s website. The Nepal/Tibet/Bhutan trip sounded wonderful and I reached out to Rajan, it’s owner. We planned a customized private trip for my wife and I along the basic lines of the itinerary. Well, due to the pandemic we were forced to delay the trip multiple times and as availability and geo politics required changes and adjustments, Rajan worked continuosly with us to design the best possible experience. We probably emailed each other over 200 times and his responsiveness, professionalism and very friendly manner was the same on the last one as on the first. We just returned, and we will need time to fully appreciate the cultural richness, visual wonder and excitement of this extraordinary trip (so many remarkable moments.) We are experienced travellers and have worked with several very highly regarded travel outfits. None of them came close to the level of concern, flexibility and oversight that Rajan provided us throughout. If this region of the world interests you, call him.

A great travel experience We did a trip combining Nepal and Bhutan organized by Earthbound Expeditions. From our very first email contact with Rajan at the Kathmandu office, he was helpful and professional, always responding promptly and with just the information we needed. The trip was well planned, the drivers and guides were excellent, and everything could not have gone better. We would highly recommend Earthbound Expeditions!

Nepal and Bhutan - a beautiful , historic part of the world. An exceptional trip from start to finish - Nepal and Bhutan . Rajan's company was recommended by friends who travelled 12 years ago . Top notch guides, drivers, guides , porters and airport pickup . The Kathmandu and Annapurna hike and accommodations and traditional meals were wonderful . The Bhutan experience was perfect. Beautiful views of Everest on the way over and back , visits to many historic temples , dzongs , museums , arts/crafts sites , a spectacular hike to the Tiger's Nest on our final tour day. We stayed an extra day at the Dormaling monastery in Kathmandu , well worth it . Rajan is an amazing ambassador for travel to this part of the world . Prompt , efficient and cheerful. Highly recommended !!
