La verdad, que estamos muy contentos con los servicios del Gokul, sobretodo nos ha gustado mucho lo atento que ha estado durante todo el viaje por si teníamos problemas. Uno de nosotros perdió el pasaporte y gracias a sus gestiones pudimos recuperarlo, le estamos muy agradecidos. El trato ha sido muy amable, si nunca volvemos a hacer algo en Nepal, no dudaremos en contactar con el. El precio de la escalada al Island Peak ha estado muy correcto por lo que hemos podido comparar con otras personas que nos hemos encontrado. En resumen, una gran agencia!

Ascenso Memorable del Pico Island con Outshine
Escalar el Pico Island con Outshine fue una experiencia increíble de principio a fin. El liderazgo de Asmita y de todo el equipo de gestión fue impresionante, asegurando que todo transcurriera sin problemas. De los cinco escaladores en nuestro grupo, tres de nosotros alcanzamos con éxito la cumbre, gracias a la planificación minuciosa y al excelente apoyo de Outshine. Nuestro Sherpa, Samdo, fue especialmente destacado, proporcionando un apoyo esencial a lo largo de la escalada. Recomiendo encarecidamente a Outshine para cualquiera que busque una aventura de escalada bien organizada y satisfactoria.
