Jomsom Muktinath Trek

April 2018

Good choice I spent approximately three weeks sending e-mail to different companies to decide which one to choose. They are pretty similar when you receive the e-mails although the prices are quite different. Earthbound came with a good price and I like the communication with Rajan. The e-mails were nicely detailed and he was open to discuss new ideas. The first day I arrive in Kathmandu there was someone waiting me at the airport, the person took me to the Hotel, which I chose before, and in the next morning there was a really nice guide who take me to a tour around Kathmandu. I went then to the Agency and after a long talk to Rajan I changed my plan and instead of going to Langtang region I went to Pokhara heading to Mustang area. I paid for a Guide and a Porter and one day before he told me I would have a porter guide which I did not like. I'd rather believe it was a mistake since as soon I told him I paid for both separately he said there was no problem. One of the things I believe differ from one Agency to another is the choice of the "hotels" you will stay during you trekking. I believe some agencies safe money at this point. I have no complains about the hotels I stayed during my trekking except one that was quite dirty. Anyway you should not expect to do a trail with fancy hotels. Most of them have no hot water and are basic but good. The guide and the porter were nice people and really helpful. The guide told me to not eat meat during the trip. Later on I found out they say sometimes to not eat meat to safe money as they receive a fix amount from the Agency and whatever they save stay with them. Anyway, I agreed with the idea of not having meat as I might not be used to it. I told my guide to suggest something every day. When I came back from Mustang there was no flight available due to bad weather. We came back by bus, truck and the guide made the difference. We had a big group and if my guide was not there I believe we would not have arrived back in Pokhara on the same day. All the guides were following my guide. The price was reasonably good. Overall I would recommend Earthbound.

A most wonderful trekking experience with Earthbound Expeditions My friends and I booked the Jomosom Muktinath trek in December 2015 through Earthbound Expeditions. The trek itself was the most wonderful I have done to date. Walking through mountain scenery and seeing village life in the foothills of the Annapurna region was the highlight of the trek. I recommend it to anyone. The trek was capped at both ends with a stay in Kathmandu, a dynamic city. EE provided a fantastic tour of Kathmandu’s sights and history as well. We also spent two nights in Pokhara and undertook a cooking class on daal bhat. Mr. Rajan and Shreeram and the porter crew ensured that the trek went without problems. But as always approach trekking in Nepal with an open mind and accept the daily adventures that come along as that is where all the memories come from. I am thoroughly impressed with Earthbound Expeditions and will not hesitate to call upon them for my return trips to Nepal! Earthbound Expeditions is a professional company who adheres to safety and ensures its clients get what they came for! Their services are first class!

Exhilarating view and excellent service I did the Jomsom Muktinath Trek in May together with my boyfriend. We changed the offered tour and got our own ‚private‘ tour for 8 days. We went together with our guide Namaraj Sapkota and our porter. Because we spent some more time in Nepal apart from trekking, we started the tour in Pokhara. On the tour we slept in comfortable Teahouses and also the drinks and food were quite good. The impressions and views will always be remembered. Our guide, Namaraj Sapkota, told us a lot about the people oft the Anapurna area and Nepal in general. As well as the rituals of the temple in Muktinath, the whole story about the earthquake and even the traditional way of living in this area. Our guide was always caring about us and our health. All the time we're feeling pretty safe. We didn’t see any effets oft he earthquake in the Anapurna region, all the roads and the bridges were in good condition, so we had no problems. In Kathmandu, we only saw a few buildings and temple which were being rebuilt. The whole trip was very well organized by Earthbound Expeditions and individual and spontaneous wishes were always possible. We can highly recommend Earthbound Expeditions and our Guide Namaraj Sapkota. The next trip will definitely be with them. All in all we can say the country and the people are amazing, it has an exhilarating landscape.
