Trekking in Nepal with local experts since 1999.
Established in 1999 by trek guide Rajan Simkhada, Earthbound Expeditions is a fully licensed, locally operated company that has guided more than 10,000 travellers across the Himalaya and beyond.
From one guide's love of the mountains.
Earthbound Expeditions was established in 1999 by Rajan Simkhada, a Himalayan trek guide who set out to build on his love of nature and exploring. What began with a single guide is today a fully licensed and government-registered company that has welcomed more than 10,000 travellers from around the world.
Rajan started out in 1994 as a hotel front-desk assistant, trained as a trekking guide, and - after three years leading trips across the Himalaya - founded the company he still leads with rigour and passion. In 2012–2013 TAAN credited Earthbound as one of the most popular trekking companies in Nepal, ranking it among the top two in 2013.
Today we craft authentic journeys - trekking, expeditions, yoga, pilgrimage tours and volunteering - across 11+ countries, maintaining a 98% satisfaction rate and a 99% safety record. Whether you dream of Everest Base Camp, Annapurna, Upper Mustang, Manaslu or a private luxury Himalayan adventure, we design the trip around you rather than around a standard package.
“We don't just take you to the Himalayas. We take responsibility for your entire journey.”
