In our Langtang and Helambu valley trek, you will also pass through mountain grazing cattle’s on the rich alpine pastures under the watchful eyes of their herders. Breathtaking mountain views immerge on your ascent as the vegetation becomes sparser and the conditions more challenging.

Spectacular trekking with Earthbound Expeditions Just returned from a spectacular trekking trip with Earthbound Expeditions. I've always wanted to trek on "top of the world." So after a couple month's search on various websites, reviews, several questions and quick responses especially from Earthbound Expeditions, we settled on Earthbound Expeditions, a local company in the Thamel district of Kathmandu. Choosing Earthbound Expeditions was one of the best decisions we made about our trip for several reasons. It is a local company run by its president Rajan Simkhada, who wants people to see Nepal as he does. Compared to large trekking groups, we had exceptional value. We were led by Apar Datta Pant, Guide and Gopal Neupane, Porter were two of the most exceptional, experienced and English speaking Nepalis we met on the Annapurna trek. Also, Apar was always in the teahouse kitchen watching food preparation so neither of us were sick with the "tourists." Huge plus! Since there were only two of us on the trek our guide was able to make a few modifications which really enhanced the trek. One of the best changes was to trekked out via a another route. A real plus during the busy trekking season. Least favorite part of the trek for me was the body-to-body head lamp hike before sunrise. But suffice to say as the tourism slogan goes "Naturally Nepal once is not enough" and I'd do it again and again with Earthbound Expeditions.

Earthbound was excellent-Helambu Trek Our Nepal Trip was perfect from our arrival to departure. Thakur was a superb guide and really looked after our group through sickness and in health. He adapted our programme to accommodate everyone’s needs. We were able to have lunch in a local home twice and he always tried to create opportunities for us to meet local people. Our group wanted to get to know the people and the culture of Nepal....not just clock up miles! Besides leading Thakur walks, made sure that our accommodation was good as well as the hygiene standards. We loved dahl bhaat and Thakur told us where and when it would be good. The Helambu Trail was the perfect trek for us as we didn’t waste time at airports and because it was fairly unspoiled and close to Kathmandu. We will use Earthbound again. Apart from the trek, the tour of KTM and the cultural meal at the end were fantastic and wonderful opening and closure to our trip. Buy a steripen-not all those plastic water bottles!

This was my first time in Nepal. A 10 days trekking tour with earth bound expeditions. Mr Rajan and his team made it to be absolutely amazing time. Pick up at airport, hotel in kathmandu and pokhara were good, guesthouse and transfer good.You felt welcome at first moment.I came alone from Norway, but no worry I met a great crew of people. We were10 people from different parts of the world, and also different ages, we hang together up in the Nepali mountains plus our guide Apar and three porters. Our guide Apar Datta Pant was so friendly and helpful he did awesome job organizing, you felt safe and good with him around.The porters did a great job too, keep up with our luggage, always smiling and friendly. Ramjee Bhatta who saw the moment when we need a song to keep going and hanging in there, very friendly, helpful and service minded. All together this team provided me with a never forgotten trip BRAVO it was great! Thank you all, a professional and dedicated staff. I cant wait to come back and see more of Nepal. I definitly recommended this trip and with Rajan and his staff in earthbound expedition! Monica (Norway)

Good Trekking

My group of five went on a hiking trip to the Annapurna region recently. We had planned as early as February for this trip, and customised the itinerary our tour Agent. Needless to say, all was well organised and our guide, Pravin Baniya, was very helpful and efficient. The hike took us to a remote part but with breathtaking views of Mt. Machchpuchchre aka. the Fishtail and its range. Many thanks to Mr Rajan of Earthbound Expeditions who has taken special care to make our pioneer trip to Nepal a most wonderful and memorable one!
