Earthbound Expeditions- Great, we will come back soon for Nepal trekking

December 2011, Tripadvisor

We were a team of 3 ladies from Hong Kong and Taiwan. Thank you so much to Rajan, the boss of Earthbound Expeditions, for his quick response on emails. He recommended us to go trekking in "the heart of Annapurna" because the weather was too cold in December and for us, the beginners for long trekking. Yes, he was absolutely right. We built up great confidence on this trekking company. Other reason that we chose Earthbound Expeditions was that the prices they charged was quite reasonable. We did very enjoy the trekking. Speical thanks to our guide, Gopal Tamang, who is an experienced, caring and freindly guy. The whole arrangement for transportation, route, meals and lodge was satisfaction. We love Nepal and will come back soon. Oithout hesitation, EARTHBOUND EXPEDITION AGAIN!!! Noel (Hong Kong)

Amazing Nepal Trip by All Means!

March 2012, Tripadvisor

We stayed in Nepal for one week of which all trip was booked and arranaged by Earthbound Expeditions. The head of the agent Mr. Rajan was so professional and responsive to all request and even flexible to re-schedule any changes in the plan. We stayed in Pokhara for two nights in cozy Tiger Mountain Lodge and toured most landmark places in the city including the Ultra-Flight experience. In Kathmandu, we stayed in Dwarika's Hotel for four nights and managed to visit all UNESCO World Heritage sites with private guide and driver. It is always true that one visit to Nepal is not enough! And dealing with Earthbound Expedition agent and Mr. Rajan is the best choice for any planned tour in Nepal.

Nepal is a beautiful experience , one to be shared!

February 2012, Tripadvisor

I was very pleased with the Earthbound guys, from the initial meet & greet to the final departure. I felt looked after by Earthbound. I thought a visit to Nepal wouldn't be complete unless I did a trek, and I had two separate treks in mind when i contacted Earthbound. The response I got was fast and detailed and very professional, with the timeframe I provided well planned. This was also my impression after meeting Rajan, Shree and Sabin. They all made sure my trip was enjoyable, and throughout my visit they showed great professionalism. But most of all, I enjoyed the time spent with local Nepalese and learning about their culture and very humble way of life. I don't think I would have achieved such depths without the help of Earthbound.

100% recommendation with Amazing trekking company in Nepal. Journey of a lifetime!

October 2011, Tripadvisor

For those of you who are looking for a Himalaya adventure trekking holiday, look no further than Earthbound Expeditions. Not only friendly and hospitable but honest and professional right from the start. With many years experience and his own Empire, Rajan was a joy to meet. Putting us up in his beautiful hotel, Eco Resort which is a glorious haven in the midst of a bustling city and then introducing us to our incredible guide Gopal, we knew we had made the right choice! With our expectations of what we wanted from our guide, ie, not just a guide but a friend for life, Gopal hit over and above taking us on a journey of lifetime and one we shall never forget. With his wonderful stories and his caring and friendly attitude, Gopal's vast experience and extensive mountain knowledge made our trip everything we hoped for and more. After much research before our trip, we feel we made the right choice and would highly recommend Earthbound Expeditions to anyone looking for an adventure with a smile! GB & Sam.
