Great service from an experienced company

July 2010, Tripadvisor

It can be very difficult to choose between the myriad of trekking companies in Nepal; and some people opt for the "safe" choice of going with a non-local (i.e. Western) company. We were very happy with the choice we made of going with Earthbound Expeditions, keeping it local to add more to the local economy. Rajan (the manager) and Shree (our guide) were very experienced and informative, clearly having excellent knowledge of all the issues regarding trekking in Nepal, as well as having excellent English and being very conscious of safety and low impact on the environment. Above all they were friendly, flexible to our travel needs and very accommodating. We can highly recommend them.

Superb organizer – Excellent client-service – Super friendly, straightforward and reliable

I live in Kathmandu and have used Rajan’s company Earthbound Expeditions for many travel and trekking occasions: whether it was for organizing a trekking or a leisure trip, for asking him to book me a domestic or international flight or just for seeking his advice about where to go during what time of the year or what to suggest to friends who visit us in Nepal. I have never been disappointed. What I like about Rajan is his ability to organize everything in an excellent way. He seems to have an incredible large network of people in the tourism sector to tailor you the package you’re looking for and to take care of you without worrying. Rajan is very good in hearing what you want - even if you don’t know it exactly yourself yet- and can present you different customized options. He is straightforward in explaining both the highlights and potential downsides one might expect during a trek or trip; as well as what is possible and what’s not. He takes customer care to the core of his business, never being bothered to call you during and/or after a trek to check if everything goes well. Besides his good humor and his dynamism, you can bet Rajan is very reliable. I never had any problem and will surely turn to him for next treks and trips. In addition, I also like his personal dedication to the development of Nepal. He is currently developing a trek that will pass his home village, far remote in the mountains, and where he personally is setting up a school. The income that he generates from this trek is set aside for the school. A great initiative!

Awesome Trekking Experience!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Nepal, especially the trekking bit, albeit a physically draining experience, the views at the mountains were absolutely awesome and was every bit worth it! Thanks to Earthbound Expeditions, we did not have to worry about all the nitty gritty details such as accomodation and transport. Further, they were also very accommodating to all our last minute changes to the itinerary. We really appreciate the flexibility and expertise of the Earthbound staff and we would certainly highly recommend Earthbound Expeditions to anyone who intends to visit Nepal in the near future. Have fun!=) SJ Singapore

Incredible Homestyle Trek - Just What I Was Looking For

July 2010, Tripadvisor

After learning about Rajan and the exact place he was born in Nepal, I had to see it for myself. It was exactly what I was looking for, a low-key, very 'real' sort of feeling traveling by local bus and jeep, heading deep into the mountains and far far away from developed civilization. I was introduced to many friends and family and couldn't even believe that a place like this exists, where you can still find people living in such a pure and natural way. This first visit actually occurred last summer, and I have spent the last year fundraising and working to create an NGO. Now this summer, I returned to with a pocket full of donated money to help build the people living in this village a new primary school for their younger children. Over the span of four months I made 7 or so trips to and from the village and never tired of the experience. This is offered to everyone though its sort of like a secret item on the menu, just ask for the homestyle village trek. I highly reccomend it, it was life-changing for me. It is perfect for those looking to get off of the overcrowded tourist treks like EBC and Annapurna and get some insight into how Nepal might have existed before tourism became such an industry. The people living in these areas are so wonderful, all I can say is try it out if you have the opportunity. Rajan and his guides are the most helpful, respectful, and charming people in the business. Without his connections and professionalism nothing that I had hoped to accomplish in Nepal would have came close to fruition. Anything you need he is there for you, a true friend and wonderful person.
