Client Reviews

Upfront communication with Gokul was very swift and efficient and the organisation went very well. Arriving into Kathmandu 4 hours late due to a thunderstorm, someone from Outshine was there to pick me up .

My guide Hari was a real star. Trustworthy, reliable and always smiling with a great sense of humour.

All in all a team of genuinely nice and competent people. I can wholeheartedly recommend them.

Este año volví de nuevo a contratar los servicios de Outshine , volví a repetir lugares del valle del Katmandu que el año pasado me habían fascinado y les contrate el treking del Everest , aunque tuvimos mal tiempo y yo problemas de salud la verdad es que se portaron super bien y super resolutivos, llamando al seguro, También me ayudaron a visitar Bardia , buscando traslados , alojamiento etc , El trato de Gokul el dueño es excelente; siempre se preocupa como estas, y para el guía chhabi y el porter Sudip solo tengo palabras de agradecimiento.

Gokul did an amazing job of looking after us. Also thank you to his team, Beji, Hari and Surat, felt like one of the family, nothing was too much. Thank you all for such wonderful memories and fantastic organisation. We are already planning our next trip.

The only thing Outshine can't take credit for was the good weather. We picked this organization based on Trip Advisor and the recommendation of a friend. They arranged everything so well including our flights from Kathmandu to Pokhara and return. We were met at the airport. All connections were perfect. We had a chance to meet several guides from this organization. All were personable and professional. When we left, we felt we had made new friends. Gokul has built a top notch organization in a relatively short period of time that now includes 17 guides. (Our guide, Dambar, had to be the best.) They are worthy of their #1 ranking and I would highly recommend them. We hope to book another trip in the future to a different area - maybe Tibet or Bhutan.

everything was well taken care of, we had a wonderful time. We were stuck at Lukla with an impending flight out the next day. Gokul and his team were able to get us out via helicopter and literally saved the day. The backup received made the trip so much more enjoyable.

I booked the UNESCO 5 days, 4 nights with Nagarkot tour with Outshine Adventures in early March 2015. I did so based on the many excellent TripAdvisor reviews. I was travelling with my 20 year old daughter who was living in India at the time. Gokul (the owner) was very responsive to emails prior to departure and was very clear about exactly what was included and what was not included in our tour package. 

We were very late coming out of the airport because of long visa lines and also because the airline had lost my luggage. I was worried the driver might not wait so long but he was waiting there with the sign even though we were well over an hour past our planned arrival. 

Our trip went exactly as planned. Our city guide was very friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and spoke very clear English. I was worried about our luggage, but he put us at ease, saying "your worries are now my worries, so you can enjoy your visit". He and Gokul took over all communication with the airport regarding my luggage and I indeed didn't have to worry about it at all. He  delivered my luggage to the hotel soon after it arrived at the airport. This would have been very difficult for me to arrange by myself.

Another major event happened during our visit. A Turkish airliner crash landed at the airport, which caused the airport to close for 4 days. Our outgoing flight to Varanasi India was cancelled and there was no indication when the airport would reopen. This is where Gokul's services really shined. He took us under his wing and informed us of several options we had of getting to India. We ended up booking an overland bus directly from Kathmandu to Varnasi. Gokul handled everything including buying the tickets, arranging for an extended stay at our hotel, and having a driver take us to the bus station and make sure we we got on the bus successfully. 

I don't know what we would have done without Gokul and Outshine Adventures. Through the whole trip, Gokul was always working in the background, ensuring we knew exactly what was next. He seemed to anticipate our every need before we even knew what we needed.

I highly recommend Outshine Adventures for any trip to Nepal. You can rest assured that he will take care of you, even when things don't go as planned.

Wow! What a great time I had visiting Nepal. I was lucky to have contacted Outshine Adventure a few months before my arrival. I scheduled 2 private day tours and Gokul was extremely helpful in suggesting how I should spend my time. He also helped me set-up a guided Trekking tour with his staff as well. I very much enjoyed the entire planning process and most importantly the actual delivery was above my expectations.

For my private tours of Kathmandu Valley, I had a fantastic guide. Bijay took me to explore so many fascinating sites around the valley. Bijay was so friendly, welcoming and his English was extremely good. I would highly recommend scheduling private tours to explore the best of the Kathmandu Valley and I strongly suggest you do so with Outshine Adventure. 

My trekking expedition was also amazing as it was a private one. My guide and porter were both fantastic. One of the best moments of my entire "round the world" trip was when both Shankar and Nabaraj sang to me a Nepalese song as we trekked our way through the forrest. Just priceless!v

Right from the moment we landed till it was time to leave at the airport, everything was well taken care of. Everyday was full of memorable adventures that we truly cherish. Kudos to Gokul and his team from Outshine Adventure. We particularly love the Elephant Ride in Chitwan, Water Rafting at Trishuli River, Paragliding in Pokhara and hiking up to Dhampus (not forgetting learning to sing a short version of Resham Phiriri ;) ). Outshine is able to accommodate our last minute add ons without any hassle and we truly appreciated that. An excellent relationship has been built between us and we look forward to more adventures in Nepal with Outshine. Thanks to his team Chaabi, Santosh, Nabaraj, Bijay and Arjun too. Get Gokul to plan your itineraries with you if you ever plan to head to Nepal...
