Nepal trek and tour leaders of Earthbound Expeditions |
Our group leaders are
the cream of the crop! They are the reason that Earthbound's
all trip work so well and the reason why so many travelers
return to us year after year. They are experienced guides
chosen not only for their ability to make every trip more
then you'd ever have hoped for, but also for their passion
and commitment to Himalayas and the Earthbound way of travel.
In addition to our group leaders, we also sometimes use western
guides when we go climbing or visit special places. So we
get the best of both worlds a western leader with the local
know-how who understands your travel needs and our local friends
and guides who share their knowledge and experiences. They
are always caring and attentive. Read

Our leaders are there to organize the trip
and provide you with advice and information, they will respect
and encourage a traveler's needs to explore independently
and will ensure the trip allows it. One of the great advantages
of the Earthbound Expeditions' leader is the introduction
they give you to the country you visit, pointing you in the
right direction for the best place to eat or teaching some
useful everyday phrases. However, you will probably find that
you rely of them less and less during your trip as you become
more adventurous and familiar with your surroundings. They
are trained from the Nepal Academy of tourism and hotel management
and registered license holder. Have general training about
first aid medical course and eco - tourism.

"Earthbound Expeditions did a first rate job in
so many ways. I felt like our guide, Mahendra, was always
looking out for us, answering our many questions regarding
history, culture and religion, helping us appreciate
what we were seeing and pointing out things we may have
otherwise missed. Whenever I mentioned I would like
to visit a gompa or shrine he always made certain we
did. On the trail he was always watching for potential
danger if the path was narrow or steep or congested
with mules, goats, and porter traffic. He and Bikash,
our porter, quickly learned our room preferences (quiet,
on the top floor with the best view) and seemed to really
enjoy getting us "the best". We kept a comfortable
pace and never felt overly fatigued. Earthbound's services
were very reliable and professional as well as personable
and fun. We very much enjoyed the time you so generously
shared with us, Rajan, touring the sights of Kathmandu
and enjoying the Nepali dinner and culture evening".

all Nepal's Himalayas. Been to Tibet Kailash many times.
Government trained.
What they said...
"To my trekking guide, Shreeram - the days we were
together provided some deep insights into Nepalese culture
and everyday life outside of the city. He give the visitor
far more than can be found in a tourist handbook. This
is meeting the real Nepalese people and finding a warmth
that stays in the heart and travels home. This alone
was worth the price of the journey. This does not even
recount the sights brought to the eyes of the scenery,
the monasteries or the palaces. The pictures do not
do justice to these sights. Breathtaking does not describe
them."
