Oct 2008
Dear Rajan
Thank you for a memorable Nepal-Bhutan tour. The stay at Temple
Tiger resort (our 2nd time) in Chitwan was fantastic.
Everyone in our group enjoyed the Elephant back safari, the
nature walks and not to forget the great food at the resort!!

Dr. Ha and team at Dha Chu la pass Bhutan with Rajan October
17, '08)
Dwarika's Hotel was quite an experience. It is no wonder that
it was given the World Heritage Site award. Thank you for using
this hotel to show us Nepalese culture and history in its splendor.
Bhutan is deservingly called the last shangri la on earth.What
a great country!! We not only enjoyed the sites you showed us
but the people you selected to drive and guide us. The driver
and the guide were both so helpful. Tops, our guide was so knowledgeable
and caring , always smiling even after having to look after
7 senior citizens riding up and trekking down Tiger Nest!!!
We wish we had planned more days in Bhutan .Maybe another visit
in the near future!
This is a second trip with Earthbound Expeditions for 5 of us
in the group and we all would love the take another one with
Earthbound. Another BIG thank you for your care from all 11
of us senior citizens from California!

Comments
by: Dag Norling and team, Oslo about Mustang Trek , Oct 2008
Dear Rajan,
We want to thank you and the whole Earthbound Expeditions team
for making our Mustang-trek a most memorable event. It has really
been an adventure for lifetime!!
From the first e-mail contact we had, you
made a most convincing impression. All our wishes concerning
itinerary were promptly answered and we never had any doubt
that the arrangement were in the best possible professional
hands. The impression was only confirmed during our trek, from
the day you met us with flower-garlands in the airport and till
we left after three fantastic weeks with white khatas around
the neck.
Mustang, the steep dry hills, the giant White Mountains, the
friendly and proud people, the villages, monasteries and ancient
Buddhist culture has made a deep and lasting impression.
For some of our group of six, average age 63, some days could
be a bit longer and steeper than we expected, but the encouraging
and cheerful Earthbound-crew kept our spirit high. When we needed
support they always had a helping hand. The trek crew Dibash,
Gokul, Gombu, Dawa, Nima, Kumar and Shankar all became our very
good friends.
Again, thank you Rajan,
Best regards,

and team, USA about India - Nepal tour , Oct 2008
Dear
Rajan,
I hope all is well with you and your family. Time has gone by
so quickly and I can not believe that it has been almost three
weeks since we got back from the India - Nepal trip. It is fall
season here in the US, cold, dark, rainy and windy. We missed
the warm weather and funs in Nepal and India. Thank you for
your well organized 12 days tour, so we have a chance to visit
Taj Mahal, Buddha Holy Places and a wonderful views of Himalaya
Mountain range at Nagarkot. We all are very impressed with your
services. It is a very memorable trip. Look forward to the next
trip with your company to Tibet. I will pass your company name
to our friends. Just like my brother in-law, Dr. Trung recommed
us with Earthbound Expeditions. I have attached photos of our
group, we dressed up like the Napalese' saree.
P.S. - Catharine Pham is an travel agent. I will give her your
email address and will be contacting with you.
Take care and please keep in touch.

and team about Nepal Everest trek ,Sept 2008
I would highly recommend Earthbound Expeditions over and over
again. Our Everest Base Camp trek was completely taken care
of from the flight to Kathmandu, to excellent teahouse accommodations,
meals, and a wonderful, caring, knowledgeable guide. Rajan is
completely trustworthy and went above and beyond promptly answering
any queries we may have had about such an adventure. Another
positive was the package was offered at a competitive price.
I think it would be foolish not to try out Earthbound Expeditions
for a life enhancing adventure.

Comments by: Giulia Tonini and team about
Nepal Tilicho trek , August 2008
Me
and my boyfriend went in Nepal for a trekking on Annapurna region
in August 2008. We contacted
Earthbound Expeditions from Italy. They were very accomodating
toward our need and request. We wanted to try a nonconventional
trek (Tilicho Lake, tea house trekking) and we fou
nd
them really prepared. They took care of us from airport pick
up to whole trip. Our guide (SUdip) and porter (Gokul) were
both very prepared. Always nice and careful. They were able
to understand how we were feeling just looking at us. They knew
every single stone of the path we were walking on. We had always
good accomodations. The accomodation in Kathmandu was also very
good (Samsara Hotel). Rajan, chief of Earthbound Expeditions,
took us to a restaurant for a typical Nepalese cultural show
in the evening. He was really very kind, hospitality was great!
We really recommend Earthbound Expeditions for any trip ...

Comments by: Uwe, Christine and family about Nepal and India tour, March 2008
Dear Rajan,
Namaste!
Sorry for the late reply but we had a lot of work waiting for
us after our holiday.
First of all thank you again for a fascinating and well organised
holiday in Nepal and India with my family. It's unbelievable
how many things we saw in such a short time. Historical places,
stunning views of the Himalayas, temples, wildlife.... well,
I guess we have to come again and spend more time....
My favourite places were Bhaktapur and Jaipur (I loved that
old hotel in Jaipur...).
The kids loved the safari and wanted to spend a week there instead
of visiting temples.....
well I guess we had a bit of everything which made this trip
enoyable for the whole family.
Please find attached a few fotos. Christine took about 3000
pictures and I showed them to family and friends back in Germany
last week......it's good to have all those fotos so we can remember
everything.....
Ok, so much for now, hope we can come again..... Hiking in the
himalayas or maybe a trip to Bhutan or Tibet, let's see....
All the best, Uwe, Christine and family - Germany

about Nepal and India -12 days tour, Jan 2008
Rajan,
We did enjoy the India Nepal tour very much, and I have to say
if not becau
se
of the sincere service from you and everyone in Earthbound,
the experience would have been different but not better! I have
shown my friends and family our interesting photos and they
all loved it! And they are so amazed that we have found such
a trusting and sincere company to take care of us so well! Many
thanks again and hope we will meet in the future:)
Picture here Tiffeny and Jinli with Sadhus in Pashupatinath

Kind regards, Jinli from China
So sorry Rajan, I've been meaning to write
to you but as you can imagine, once I got back home, I've just
been swamped.
The Tibet part of the trip was challenging in terms of the cold
and altitude, and many times I did wonder what I was doing in
Tibet in winter ? But I did meet many wonderful and caring fellow
travel companions and the sights and beauty of Tibet more than
made up for it.
Of the three places India, Nepal and Tibet, Nepal remains my
favourite, and I just can't help raving about it to my friends.
I've also recommended Earthbound to all of them, saying that
they must travel with you if they intend to visit that part
of the world. Your service from the initial point of contact
to the moment we departed (and beyond) was truly amazing and
faultless. We really couldn't have asked for a more caring and
helpful company to have travelled with. Thank you so very very
much! Needless to say, if I ever return to India or Nepal, I
would contact you again for sure!
In the meantime, I have attached a few photos of our trip so
you can visit what a wonderful time we had! Please take care.
Hopefully we'll see you again in the future.
Warmest Regards,
Tiffany from Singapore living in USA now, booked tour via internet

Dear Rajan
Thanks for this wonderful 3 country tour. Actualy, this was
not just a trip, this was an incredible journey and a chance
to know more about amazing and differents cultures, people and
countries.
India is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that you only feel
in that Place. Is impossible to describe with words incredible
places like the Taj Mahal or the "Pink City" in Jaipur.
China has so many places to visit; the cities that you choose
for us was a highlight of that culture: the lovely Pandas in
Chengdu, the historic Terracota Warrios of Xi'an, and the endless
neauty of Beijing.
Nepal was great - Nice people, beutiful landscapes and amazing
country waiting to be discover. We felt Nepal like our second
home - paceful place, friendly people and of course your special
support and friendship.
Also, we would like to thanks to all your tour team in India,
Nepal and China - nice guys, friendly, very professional attitude;
we always feel good because all of you take a special care of
us. Really thanks,special to you... We really hope to return
some day...
Best Regards from Chile, the other side of the World...

Comments by: Terry, Brian and team about Nepal and Bhutan tour, March 2008
Namaste Rajan,
Greetings from Australia!
After arriving home last
Tuesday
and then our son arriving from London on Friday, we are now
starting to settle down after our fantastic trip to Nepal and
Bhutan.
I would like on behalf of Peter and
Robyn and Brian and myself to offer you our sincere appreciation
for the arrangements you made for our trip to Bhutan and Nepal.
We were very impressed with how smooth it ran, all our arrangements
such as airport and hotel pickups, accommodation, guides, visa
to Bhutan etc went like clockwork. All hotels were great, I
must note here that the service, helpfulness and friendliness
of all the staff at Samsara Resort in Nepal was much appreciated.
It is a great centrally located hotel - ideal for the purchase
of gifts at great prices!!
All your drivers were excellent, from the city drivers to the
drivers who took us to Nagarkot, Pokhara and Chitwan, Bhutan.
A special thank you to our driver who took us to Chitwan and
Pokarha, he was an excellent .
We appreciate your care and contact during our trip
which led to us having a feeling of confidence and security
in an unknown territory.
Rajan you run an efficient friendly operation and you are to
be congratulated! We all would be more than delighted to recommend
your service to any prospective travel to either Nepal or Bhutan.
We can be contacted by email at terry.norman@optusnet.com.au
or telephone (+61 2 95401722).
Kind regards
Terry Norman, (on behalf of Brian, Robyn and Peter)

Hi Rajan,
Both Terry & I were really delighted that your organisational abilities throughout Nepal and Bhutan including Chitwan National Park worked out so well.
Robyn & Peter also felt the same sense of relaxed travelling experiences in Nepal and Bhutan, for all of us was a really enjoyable and exciting time. We also like thank to "Penjor" our guide in Bhutan for the outstanding time he offered us recently in his home Bhutan. Peter, Robyn, Terry and myself still are talking about the walk up to the Tigers Nest Monastery just as it started to snow--just magnificent scenery and such a peaceful place.
We are more than happy to have you use us as a references for
future potential travellers to Nepal and Bhutan tour so please
don't hesitate to pass on our email details. The simple fact
is that without local knowledge a trip with limited time restraints
could easily be disrupted with changing weather conditions etc-
so thanks again for sorting out Chitwan National Park--it really
was terrific stuff. Thanks again Rajan and I will also send
photos to Mariana and Veronica.
Best regards
