Wonderful Nepal trek in Langtang Valley Can't say enough great things about this land, the people, and Earthbound Expeditions. Every need was met, the staff was super friendly, and the guide/porter were awesome. I can't wait to head back sometime in the next couple years or so, and I will definitely use this company again.

From morning to night Arjun, sarki, badree, narayan, kaji, amrit and all the porters are smiling and always ensuring the whole group is well and healthy. They want you to succeed in the trek probably more than u want to finish !! Highly impressed and would recommend without needing a second thought. Love u guys

Langtang Valley Hi ! I just returned from Nepal trekking Langtang Valley with Earthbound and I cannot day enough about this tour company. Rajan, who is the president went above and beyond our expectations. He greeted us on our first day of arrival and made sure our everything was in order. While in trek the porters were amazing. So kind, generous and extremely friendly. That took such good care of us, from ordering our meals to helping us climb Kyanjan Ri a 15000 ft high mountain peak. All I can say Earthbound is one of the best tour company I have travelled with and I will definitely book with them next year for Everest base camp. See you soon Rajan.

One of my best vacation ever

From arrivel to departure, Earthbound Expeditions delivered the best service I could ask for. Guides are polity, helpfull and very professional. Porters did a great job and the management was there at all times to answer questions and help when needed. I highly recommend you to go to Nepal, and also to use this agency. They know what they are doing. I want to use them again, when planning a trip to see Tibet..
