                    Adventure and pilgrimage

                    was an amazing trip and very unique. It was made possible by extraordinary guides and drivers.
                    We were met by the lovely Asmita who went to extra mile to prepare us for our trip, and to be sure we had all we needed . She could not be more charming and helpful.
                    On day, one we were driven to the border, very expertly by Raju accompanied by Kersang. We needed an expert as the roads were very windy and not in good condition but it was exciting and we could take in the wonderful scenery and the interesting villages that we passed.
                    After we crossed , the border which took some time we were met by Tarkye our guide and Cedun our driver. Tarkye was a very mature calm guide, solicitous knowledgeable and very caring. Cedun our driver was also very considerate and helpful which we as a group needed as many of us had not fully anticipated the effects of the high altitude.
                    However, we were shepherded in an extraordinary manner through magnificent mountainous terrain , and lake filled scenery seeing yaks and other animals on the way. The monasteries were beautiful and Tarkye could answer any questions we had.
                    This unique and extraordinary trip delivered exactly what it promised. There was a great deal of driving which could be tiring but this was specified up front.
                    Overall, this was an amazing trip, but it was more physically demanding than anticipated because of the altitude and also being in a relatively small enclosed vehicle carrying 12 people with no space in between each person if one person gets sick it spreads through the group has happened for us. Nevertheless this tour is a once in a lifetime experience in a country as yet relatively undiscovered by western tourists.
                    Outshine as a company is exemplary and highly recommended. Many thanks
