| We
pride ourselves on the quality of service we give to our trip
members. But then we designed our company and our trips to be
the best. Earthbound Expeditions was started a few years
ago in Kathmandu, Nepal as an alternative to the dash-in, dash-out
assault style tours of many of the other companies. Of course,
we've branched out from our starting ground of Nepal, to other
Asian countries like Bhutan, Tibet, and northern India. The
idea is to bring people closer to the Himalayas and all they
have to offer through carefully designed trips which unite the
natural history, the present scientific understanding, and the
unique cultures of this region. The result: a deeper appreciation
of the Himalayan mountains, the splendor of the plants and animals,
and the cheerful perseverance of the people. That's why we operate
so many cultural, wildlife, and natural science tours, and always
with only the best guides. Each trip maximizes the exposure
to Himalayan lifestyles and wilderness, while still maintaining
the safety of our groups.
Unlike most other travel companies, we require all our non-native
guides to have thorough wilderness medical training. While we
certainly don't rely on this, we feel that it is an obvious
step for us to take, after all we visit some of the most remote
territory on Earth.
Come join us!!
Here is what some of our past clients have had to say about
us:
Our Services
"We
are…thrilled about the planning you did, and we are very happy
you recommended Mustang. I do not think we will ever see anything
else like it. We could go for miles and never see another person.
The people, by and large, were friendly, proud of their country,
and happy to share it with us. For us, the private tour was
perfect and we would be pleased to recommend Earthbound Expeditions
and the trip to anyone you would refer to us." - Lynn Shecter

"This
21 days trek was the most memorable I have ever had. The scenery
was spectacular and the physical challenge was rewarding. Our
Guide and the porters made the trek an experience of lifetime.
We all enjoyed each other’s company, they knew a lot of history
about the area. They have knowledge of culture, life style and
the mountains. This was a very special and memorable trip I
will never forget it. Thank you Earthbound for making it a success. I will definitely recommend this agency for
all other trekkers, especially after hearing the horror stories
from other trekkers on the way. Thanks again." - Sandra

"
Both Michelle and I thought Raj was extremely helpful, competent,
knowledgeable and responsible. He was pro-active, and did not
wait to be asked. Under his leadership, the staff was equally
fantastic…competent, helpful, and appropriately friendly. We
cannot say enough about how much the entire group assisted in
making this a memorable trip." - Lynn Shecter and Michelle Vocht,
USA - visited Mustang, Nepal.
"(Our
guide) became, during our treks in the Annapurna Sanctuary...
a true and trusted friend. His cheerful enthusiasm, experience,
and in-depth knowledge and respect of the culture were second
to none on our travels. The care he took to ensure that we were,
at all times, comfortable and content was quite remarkable.
It would be difficult to praise him too highly." - Mark
Leyland, Annapurna, 1998.
"we
just spent the most wonderful ten days trekking the Annapurna
range with you and Tek our porter. Your outgoing friendly personality
made us feel comfortable since day one. It was as if we had
already known each other for a while. Your professionalism,
your knowledge of the mountains and trails … made us feel like
we had the best guide everyone could have. You not only served
as guide but you always made sure we were comfortable and had
everything we needed. We felt very safe in your hands. Most
of all, we had a lot of fun and will continue our trip with
images of your laughter, smiles and singing. We sincerely wish you the very best in your future endeavors and
may all your dreams come true. We shall no doubt meet again!"
- Pietro and Jeri Obert, USA
"My
10 days trek to Annapurna base camp was very good and enjoyable
and I enjoyed the professional attitude my excellent guide had.
He helped me when I was tired and was always full of advice
and knowledge. Hopefully one day, I will come back and do a
proper long trek! Thank
you Earthbound Expeditions for planning it well". - Michael
Brunton, Qatar, UAE |
