Buddhist Pilgrimage Tours

As Buddha was born in Nepal, Buddhism is a very popular religion in Nepal, north India, Tibet, and Bhutan. Hinduism and Buddhism exist together in Nepal maintaining good harmony. Religion is not just a set of beliefs and accompanying rituals handed down from generation to generation rather it is a complex intermingling of traditions, festivals, faiths, and doctrines that have permeated every stratum of Nepalese Society in such a way as to become the very heartbeat of the nation.

Our Buddhist pilgrimage tours let you eyewitness the religious tolerance and harmony found among religions in Nepal which is a very unique example to the world.

This Buddhist pilgrimage tours of 7 days only include highlighted sites in Nepal like Namobuddha, Boudhanath, and the birthplace of Buddha Lumbini. You will have possibilities of extending it to Sarnath – where Buddha gave his first teaching, to Bodhgaya where Buddha was enlightened and Kushinagar where Buddha breathed the last on this world. You can fly in or out of Delhi also.

We can also combine the tour with Yoga, meditation, Ayurveda treatment or even the Spa.

The temple is built gradually and is composed of many temples, one after the other. It is also found that there is possibility that a Ashoka Stupa existed in the place of temple.

We have just returned from a private tour of Nepal organised by Earthbound Expeditions. We chose Earthbound based on the many great reviews from tripadvisor and were not disappointed.From the start Earthbound were very efficient - responding to emails on the same day and sending quotes in a timely manner. Most of the accomodation organised by Earthbound was fantastic. Drivers and guides were punctual and knowledgable. I would have no hesitation recommending Earthbound to anyone travelling to Nepal.

a good trip I compared quotes from a few agencies and decided to go with Earthbound. Rajan is very responsive. The local guides are also very helpful and good-spirited. I had a good time no question. The price is competative and the arrangement thoughtful. Rajan, keep it up and good luck.

Another amazing adventure!

November 2017, Tripadvisor

This is my third trip with Earthbound and it has once again been an amazing experience. I wanted to go off the beaten track and so I had my trip tailor made to suit my wishes. From the first initial plans with Badri in London to arriving at Kathmandu airport and to the final return to that airport I was always looked after my my hosts, Rajan and Kedar. My day visiting Changu Narayan, Bhaktapur and Patan was so exciting and interesting made so by Resham Raz who is very knowledgeable and passionate about his country. I stayed in the Thamel Eco Resort, Pokhara Eco Resort and Himashu Homestay (see other reviews) and was looked after and made to feel very welcome, part of the family. During my 10 day trek, starting in Pokhara and ending in Muktinath, I was led by my guide Narayan who took great care to make sure that I trekked safely and our food and accommodation was good and we had some exciting and funny experiences together! The experience of being so close to some of the world’s greatest mountains will stay with me forever. I can only once again thank Rajan and his excellent team of guides and employees for making this possible. I am now planning my next adventure with them!

Mansarovar & Mt.Kailash Parikrama

September 2017, Tripadvisor

I recently complete the 15-daytrip. All I can say is the trip and trekking experience were beyond par, thanks to earthbound expeditions. They were simply amazing. From the moment we arrived at the airport in Kathmandu, a team member was waiting to transport us to our hotel. The accommodation the whole way up the mountain and back was great and the food was also great everywhere we stayed and we were able to make menu changes if we need. Our guides Kedar, Arjun and our cook Gopal, were all great and friendly and helpful the entire way. They stayed close to everyone and made sure we were well taken care of physically and mentally Overall the experience we had trekking and horse riding to Mt. Kailash was exceptional from start to finish. I intend to return to go back to Mansarovar with my husband to island peak and I will definitely be doing it through earthbound when I return. If you are considering a trip to Everest base camp use them, I would highly recommend them.
