Everest Base Camp Trek

Everest Base Camp Trek, April 2018

This was the trip of a lifetime for me, this company went above what I expected! I would not hesitate to use them again. Before the trip all questions were answered promptly, the guides were professional and knowledgeable.

Everest Base Camp Trek with Earthbound

We booked Everest Base Camp trek with Earthbound Expeditions and I couldn’t be happier with our choice. We chose them based on many good reviews on TA, but they exceeded all expectations.
We ended up booking with them the EBC trek, a day tour in Katmandu, a day trip to Bhaktapur and all of our transfers.
Rajan, the owner of the company, responded promptly to all of our e-mails, before and during the trip, and, on the trek, when one of us got sick on the way to Namche and needed some specific medication, he offered to send it by helicopter to Namche if we couldn’t find it there (but we could, thanfully).
We were very happy with our trekking guide Hari. He took great care of the three of us. Just don’t believe him when he says that the terrain is flat, it never is… lol. But I guess that’s why they call it “nepali flat”!
Our porters were very helpfull, as everyday, after they reached the lodge we were going to spend the night at and dropped our duffle bags, they’d come back on the trail and offered to carry our backpacks, what was very much welcome at some points. And in the very long day that we went from Lobuche to Gorakshep, then EBC and back to Gorakshep, Hari asked the porters to trek with us from Gorakshep to EBC carrying our backpacks so we would’t be so exausted.
We were first time trekkers, and we were very worried about the accomodations during the trek, and Rajan made sure that we stayed at the best lodge each village had to offer. Of course as we reached higher altitudes the lodges were very basic, but they were as clean and confortable as it could be, and the food was good.
We had a very good tour guide on our day trip to Bhaktapur, but unfortunatelly I can’t remember his name.
I would definately reccomend Earthbound Expeditions to anyone interested in visiting or trekking in Nepal!

It was mind blowing amazing! My husband and I decided to get out of our comfort zone 🙂 Meeting at the Thamel Eco Resort, Rajan gave us a last minute talk of what we should bring with us, renting a duffle bag, and bringing cash (don’t forget tip money for your guide and porter). The next day we were turned over to our guide Hari AdhiKari. It was awesome! The flight into to Lukla was smooth as can be. Hari kept us updated on what mountains we were looking at and the history, set us up at great teahouses, and kept us straight with high altitude sickness and what we should and should not eat.We also had an awesome porter who took very good care of our “stuff”. This was a tough trek, but we really did enjoy it. We had sun, rain, snow, and thunder. I particularly loved the cable/suspension bridges and watching the yak trains. It was colder than expected at night, but otherwise I think the clothing list was pretty good. The company was really very good in ensuring that we were comfortable and happy on the trip and when we got back.

A trip of a lifetime! Earthbound will not disappoint! They organise everything from the minute you land to when you leave with transport, accommodation, gear and activities! My mum and I were traveling together and met our group and guide in Kathmandu. Our group was a total of 10 which was a nice size! A city tour of Kathmandu was organised and ran by our guide Ray who also led us on our 12 day EBC trek. The trek itself was also amazing I loved going through all the different villages and meeting the very friendly locals! The locals work very hard in Nepal! We had 5 porters our assistant guide Sumon and head guide ray who all made our trip so enjoyable and nothing was a problem, they all wanted us to succeed and make it to base camp and we all did!

A note would be to see a travel Dr at home and get all necessary meds as I started to get a chest infection in the trail and luckily had antibiotics with me to take. April is a great time of year as the days were clear and temp wasn’t too cold, I was never cold at night when sleeping.

Ensure you put EBC on your bucket list ang of through Rajan at Earthbound as he will look after you and has been in tourism for many years so knows how to deliver great trips!!

Namaste!!

Wonderful EVerest Base Camp Trek – Nepal

We visited Nepal again in October 2017 for a second time for the Everest Base Camp trek. Our first visit was in Octber 2016 for the Annapurna Base Camp trek.

Both the treks were managed and planned by Rajan at Earthbound Expeditions.

The Everest Base Camp trek was incredible with beautiful landscape and stunning views of snow capped mountains.

An amazing and memorable experience of a life time, especially views from Kala Patthar and Everest Base Camp.

Many Many thanks to Rajan for all the assistance and personal involvement right from planning till the end of the trek. Really appreciate the promptness, patience together with excellent level of service and personal care. It was a pleasure interacting with Rajan throughout.

We also had excellent support from our guide Narayan and our ever smiling porter Sherpa. Their tremendous patience, support and caring attitude was of great help to us throughout the trek.

Hats off to Rajan and team once again for a wonderful job.

We definitely look forward to our next visit to Nepal and our obvious choice will be Rajan at Earthbound Expeditions.Nepal is a must visit destination for anyone looking at a vacation or trek. Beautiful landscapes, lovely peaceful villages and nature at its best. Very warm and friendly people with amazing hospitality. We strongly recommend Rajan and Earthbound Expeditions for anyone planning a vacation / trek in Nepal. Look no further, go with Earthbound.

Perfect Everest Base Camp Trek

Absolutely fantastic adventure, our trek guide Bishal was first class and Rajan put together a customised package for us which was exactly what we wanted including a tour of Delhi & Agra on the end of it which was also perfect. Earthbound Expeditions delivered everything we had hoped for and produced a great experience for us.

Memorable trip

Our group of 5 meet 5 others in Kathmandu with the goal to hike to the Basecamp of Mt. Everest. Earthbound Expedition helped us create a fun and successful trip. The group was a mix of ages and nationalities. Earthbound created the group to be a family for the trip.They started with a cultural tour of the city which have is a chance to bond as a group and learn a bit of the culture of Nepal. It was a bit as Nepal is rich with history and culture which one day can only give you a hint. Resham was our guide. He did a great job explaining the highlights, cultural significance of our stops, and assured we had the best photo opportunities.The trek to Everest Basecamp was a success. All 10 of us made it! Resham and his crew reminded us of our need to eat, drink water, and pace ourselves throughout the trip. We did hve a medical need which Resham coordinated the medical care and transport back to Kathmandu. The plan for the rest of the group to tell back home was kept intact.I highly recommend Earthbound. They know how to develop the group to be a tight group for success.

Wonderful Gokyo Everest Trek

So glad we chose Earthbound as our tour operator for EBC and Gokyo Lakes trek. They were extremely helpful getting us on a charter flight when our regularly scheduled flight was cancelled. Our guide Bibek was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed his leadership style. He kept us laughing and kept us safe the entire time. From making sure we drank enough water and wore enough layers, Bivek monitored our health the whole way. This ensured that we saw and experienced every sight we set out to see. Thanks again Bibek and Earthbound for a successful and unforgettable trek!
