                                Unforgettable Memory from Nepal with Outshine Adventure & Team !

                                We embarked on a remarkable one-week journey to Nepal, expertly organized by Mr. Gokul from Outshine Adventure. Despite some last-minute changes on our part, he remained incredibly accommodating and patient throughout. We were thoroughly impressed and satisfied with the accommodations, tours, and activities he arranged for us.

                                Exploring Kathmandu with our knowledgeable tour guide, Siri, was an enriching experience. His insights into the city's vibrant history added depth to our exploration.

                                Our short but amazing flight to Pokhara was nothing short of unforgettable, thanks to the breathtaking views of mountains and valleys along the way. Mr. Kumar & Botie ( not sure the spelling) were exceptional skills ensured our safety, and the delicious food we enjoyed during the journey, especially the Dal Bhat, left a lasting impression.

                                Our stay in Pokhara was equally pleasant, with a well-located hotel providing easy access to shops, the lakeside, and various dining options. Exploring temples and cruising on Fewa Lake added to the charm of our visit.

                                However, the pinnacle of our trip was undoubtedly the journey to Annapurna Base Camp. The awe-inspiring landscapes and towering mountains along the route left us spellbound. Mr. Kumar, our experienced trekking guide, played a crucial role in making this leg of our journey truly unforgettable, sharing his expertise on the mountains, trekking routes, and religious sites.

                                We owe the success of our trip to the seamless coordination and outstanding arrangements made by Mr. Gokul, Ms. Ashmita & and all the staffs. Their dedication created memories that will last a lifetime, and we eagerly anticipate our next adventure in Nepal. Love you all !!!

                                Fantastic company to trek with

                                This is my third time to Nepal and second time using Outshine Adventure. We spent one month in Nepal on a tailor made trip. Chitwan NP, Upper Mustang and ABC. Gokul was very attentive to our requests and made great suggestions that made our holiday even more memorable. Our guide and porter Som and Mohan were two of the nicest, knowledgeable and helpful guides we could ever ask for. Our local guides and support in Kathmandu were also excellent and great to deal with. All the staff of Outshine went out of their way to make our adventure one that we would never forget. It was a highlight of our trek. I would totally recommend Outshine Adventure if you are considering trekking in Nepal. We will certainly be using Outshine Adventure on our next trekking adventure in Nepal.
