Team Badri….outstanding!!

I have just returned from a second trip using Earthbound Expeditions and can’t wait to return again. This time I joined the Kailash pilgrimage because I was keen to visit the Tibetan landscape and I was not disappointed.

In Kathmandu we visited Pashupatinath, Buddha Nilkantha, Boudhanath and Swayambhanth with Resham a very knowledgeable guide. Next day we left for Tibet. With Badri on his 46th trip to Kailash, the whole trip ran smoothly nothing too much trouble and every diet catered for by his amazing staff who joined us in Tibet.

In the thin air we were ‘encouraged’ to eat and drink in order to alleviate altitude sickness, making the trip safe and relaxed in the knowledge we were in good hands. The team including Kedar, Arjun, Maule, Sarki, Narayan, Norbu and drivers and they always had a reassuring smile and nothing was too much trouble for our sometimes demanding group. We had to change part of the pilgrimage trek due to weather (snow) but this was done and alternate plans made calmly without any fuss. There was always someone nearby to give you a helping hand or encouragement on the trek.

The Tibetan scenery is breathtaking at times and it’s raw beauty made it a truly memorable journey. Back in Kathmandu I chose to stay again with Rajan in his home on the edge of the Raniban forest (See Himanshu Homestay) and was I invited to join in celebrations for an upcoming wedding making the experience unique and enjoyable.

A truly professional company dedicated to making your dreams come true! Thank you.
