Kathmandu Valley World Heritage Tour

Gokul & team had outdone themselves. The tour was tailor made for 28 of us Kiwanians after our ASPAC convention in Kathmandu. Meticulous attention were given to cater for us who came from all the world ie Malaysia, US, Japan, Australia & Canada. Hotels & transport were comfortable and reasonably priced. Tour guide knowledgeable and introduced the country & sites well to us In Kathmandu we visited the UNESCO heritage sites. Then off to Pokhara to enjoy the lakeside stay and explore the culture & sites in the city. After 3 days & 2 night stay, we went to Lumbini to discover the birthplace of Gautama Buddha and did a small community project in the village for the children. Throughout the 8 days trip, our needs were attended to & we learnt about the culture of Nepalese. The only downside was the road condition...at certain stretches, the ride was bumpy and long.

A group of the participants from United State, Canada, Australia, Japan and Malaysia join a private tour to Pokhara and Lumbini organised by this company. The Tour guide Siri, and the company director, Gokul accompanied us through out the journey. Though we have only 27 people, they have provided us with a 32 seaters coach.

We booked Outshine adventures on our first Nepal visit and Everest Panorama Trek on December 2014, after browsing and searching tons of Nepal tour operator in the web. We chose Outshine based on their outstanding performance from their previous guests , and we did not disappointed. Mr Bijay Rimal , and later Mr Gokul Sapkota , helped me with the arranging , planning and answering of our trekking related questions faithfully ,from the beginning (almost a year before our December trip). At first , we're concerned about trekking in the Himalayas in the middle of winter , bringing our 13 yo daughter, and none of us did ANY trekking before, but now ,Outshine Adventures proofed that this can be done, safely ! Our tour only cost us USD 950 per person , with all the transportation ,lodging on the trek,basic daily foods,guide, porter, hotel whilst in Kathmandu , city tour , return tickets Kathmandu-Lukla, considered very cheap ,for the quality service they provided us. On arrival , they picked us up on time , and escorted to their office , where Mr.Gokul explained some options about the trek , considering the weather , Thank God we followed his advice on going early for the trek. On December , cannot predict the weather in any means, a day late , we would not made it to Lukla because of strong winds , and fog. We would like to thank our guide Roshan , a very experienced tour guide ,for his thoughts , guidance and expertise during the trek, we felt very safe with him. And Tendi Sherpa,our super porter, quiet guy ,with pleasant attitude. After the trek ,Mr Gokul presented us with a farewell dinner , and 3 Everest trekking certificates ,what a nice surprise !! Overall ,this would not be our last visit to Nepal, we would use Outshine Adventures again in our next visit !!
