Kathmandu -Lhasa Tibet Overland
My friends and I recently did Overland Tour to Tibet from Kathmandu - Lhasa incl Everest Base Camp for 12 days. Earthbound made all arrangements for our group, from the Tibet group Permit to our flight back to Ktm from Lhasa. Prior to the trip, I have been corresponding with Rajan and I would say that he has never failed to reply promptly. Rajan and his team are very helpful and professional. Our Tibetan guide, Tashi and our Tibetan driver, named Tashi too, both of them are very patient and have much assisted us in every way throughout our trip. The accommodations that we were placed in were quite comfortable and clean. Most of the accommodations have free wireless access at the lobby area and hot shower. Overall , our group is very happy with this trip arranged by Earthbound.

Memorable and exciting tour of Tibet and Nepal, and trek around mount Kailash : We went on the Kailash parikrama (trek) via Tibet and Mansarovar lake over 15 days, starting in Lhasa and finishing in Kathmandu. It was a fascinating experience and at times challenging. We received excellent and personalized service and care from Rajanji and his team. They were knowledgeable, cheerful and always helpful. We will always remember the grandeur and beauty of the Himalayas, it's mythological and spiritual context, and the people, culture and countryside of Tibet. It was a well organized tour with gourmet Indian food, and great care for our safety and comfort.

Best agency in Nepal : I was lucky to choose this agency of the list of agencies in the Lonely Planet guide. I did the EBC hike, a tour to Pokhara and Chitwan, and a Tibet roadtrip through Earthbound Expeditions and everything was AMAZING. They are very professional, they have the best staff and Mr. Rajan is always caring and pendant on any needs. I highly recommend this agency for any tour in Nepal. You will have an amazing time!

“ Wonderful Nepal, Tibet and Bhutan tour” : I normally don't use company packages as I always do my own research and bookings. This time due to the difficulty of getting the Bhutan and Tibet visas I contacted Earthbound and accepted Rajan's suggestion of itinerary. It was a pleasant surprise as the guides he used in Bhutan and Tibet were very special people with good drivers in comfortable vehicles. As we had only three weeks with the kids (17 and 11) it was important no to have any big mistakes. We had a great time and adjusted the number of attractions we wanted to see along the way as the guides were very flexible. The driving from Lhasa to Kathmandu, although not for the faint of heart will be in my kids minds forever (and ours). We had drivers and guides in all three countries and nothing to complaint about. On the contrary, would use them again and highly recommend.
