A most memorable trip to India, Bhutan, and Nepal!!

I am a repeat customer and booked Earthbound Expeditions for a third time. This time I opted for a combined India, Bhutan, and Nepal trip over a six-week period. Rajan Simkhada of Earthbound was instrumental in coordinating guide services in each country. In India, I was met at airport in Delhi and was assigned a competent guide and driver for each segment of my country visit. I visited Vanarasi, Bodhgaya, Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. I had domestic flights arranged for me from Delhi to Vanarasi and Bodhgaya to Delhi. All the guides were local, had much insight, and taught me much. In Bhutan, I was assigned one guide and driver for the duration of the trip. The cities and areas visited included Thimphu, Punakha, Bumthang, Mongar, Trashigang, and Paro. The trip culminated with a hike up to Taktsang (Tiger's Nest) Monastery. The food and scenery in Bhutan are absolutely stunning. My guide taught me much about the Buddhist philosophy and enlightened me on many aspects of Bhutan's culture. In Nepal, I trekked to Everest Base Camp via Gokyo Lakes and Cho La Pass over 15 days. This trek surpasses the regular EBC trek in terms of mountain scenery!! Rajan assigned a very competent guide and porter crew for our trekking group of six. The trek from Namche Bazaar to Gokyo and then to Dzongla much fewer trekkers compared to the regular EBC route. Afte Dzongla, the trail meets the main trail going to Lobuche and conditions get much more crowded. Throughout the booking process and my travels Rajan and his counterparts in the other countries tended to my questions, needs, and concerns. They made everything simple from air travel to visa requirements. I am thoroughly satisfied with the service and commitment of Earthbound Expeditions and will book more trips with them in the future!!

Multi Country Tour - India / Nepal / Bhutan

I had a one in a lifetime custom trip starting in India going to Nepal and Bhutan. As a single female traveler I was worried, but Earthbound Expeditions took care of everything for me. Rajan was amazing and I even stayed at his home one day where his wife taught me all about nepalese and indian cuisine. I will never forget the time I had and the beautiful sites and places I visited. I highly recommend Rajan and Earthbound Expeditions. Thank you for everything.

Awesome trip

We recently traveled to India, Nepal and Bhutan. Earthbound expeditions (Rajan) organised it all. Or pick ups and departures from every point where always there, friendly and helpful as well. We had some great guides over the trip and Rajan was always communicating to all our questions. I would easily recommend this company to organise your trip, ours was a specialized tour meeting our needs and requests. Thanks to Rajan and his team for a great experience. :-)

51 Days in Nepal, Tibet, India and Bhutan

5 stars are not enough to describe our experience with Earthbound Expeditions. Mr. Rajan Simkhada, owner of EE, worked with us to custom design the perfect adventure. We used Rajan's hotel, Thamel Eco Resort in Kathmandu, as a "home base", where we stopped to catch our breath in between each country. 9 days in Tibet, 12 days in northern India, 9 days in southern and western Nepal, and 6 days in Bhutan, with a week at the end in Kathmandu. My husband and I had private guides and drivers the whole way. They were professional, attentive to our needs and wishes, and spoke very good English. Guides can make/break your experience, and ours were exceptional. The hotels were clean and comfortable. Our guides helped us select foods that allowed us to safely sample local cuisine. Our itinerary included six flights and one train ride, we changed hotels nearly every day - and the execution was seamless and flawless. We were well taken care of the entire trip, and made to feel special by each EE associate. The attention to detail was incredible. This adventure more than exceeded our expections, and we will definitely use Earthbound Expeditions again. A huge thank you to Rajan and his entire crew!
