Wonderful Nepal Tour
Our family of 5 just returned from Nepal and touring with Rajan and Earthbound. Our trip experience was wonderful and as we review the exciting pictures, we marvel at the sights that are Nepal. All our guides, hotels, and arrangements were in excess of our expectations. We were greatly surprised by the quality of the tea houses. Rajan always made perfect arrangements for our group and our guide Gopal was very friendly, knowledgable, and knew the locals providing us with the best experiences. We highly recommend Earthbound and their great staff.

What an extraordinary experience!!! Better than I was expecting
Going to Nepal, it turned out to be such an overwhelming experience. The best was definitely the 10 day tour I did. Earthbound expeditions really made my trip much easier. Getting the opportunity to explore Katmandu, Pokhara, Chitwan and doing a three day trekking, in Gurung villages was everything I was looking for!!! Earthbound Expeditons have got a variety of different itineraries, easily adaptable to the needs of each traveller. Everyone in this company have been always so professional and flexible, always towards my choices and interests. All the staff are unbelievable well-trained, professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Unable to describe how fantastic these people are and how beautifully they work together. I have to thank, particularly, to Karan who was tireless in helping me to plan my trip (since the first time I mentioned to him that I was traveling to Nepal). Always taking in consideration my wills, showing me plenty of different options. I had a wonderful guide, Amrit, during my trekking experience. He was taking very good care of me especially when I was feeling that my body was a leak of energy and couldn’t walk more (not even in flat land). Mr Rajan was very attentive and polite. Always looking to know if I was enjoying my trip. I am planning already my next trip to Nepal and 100% I’ll be doing other activities with this extraordinary and incredible company. So highly recommended!!!

A Lovely Adventure in Nepal! ....
Just come back from a wonderful "life-experience" in Nepal, thanks to the superb service, care, and attention from the lovely team at Earthbound Expeditions! Right from the start, arriving at Kathmandu, to preparing for the trek, and during the trip, we were looked after by a professional team that know how to deliver consistently. Our thanks to Rajan and his smiley nature, Badri, our lead guide, not to mention Gokul, Narayan, and all the rest of the crew who helped us to get best experience in Nepal tour. I would thoroughly recommend Earthbound Expeditions for your next Nepal journey, as I believe that the company has the knowledge, experience and understanding to make every one's dream come true! Thank you Earthbound and team!
