About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- L8441UNseanm0 contributionsExcellent TourExcellent tour by Gokul and his team. These guys are PROFESSIONAL! Gokul arranged everything and the tour was everything we wanted to see and do. He also arranged our helicopter tour for Mt Everest. The vehicle was always clean and bottle water was provided every day for us. Dont look for other tour guides Just book directly with Gokul and Outshine Adventures for your tour in Nepal. We had a great time with his team of professionals.Written 16 February 2025
- satq20250 contributionsAwesome trip, awesomer peopleDid the EBC with Outshine Adventures for 14 days. The whole experience exceeded our expectations. Would like to particularly shout out Asmita for her exceptional care. She treated me like family. She was helpful and would regularly check in when I was sick during the descend. Definitely choosing Outshine Adventures for my next trip in Nepal, if only for Asmita.Written 22 January 2025
- olies20200 contributionsPerfect trekOur experience with Outshine adventure was perfect from the begining to the end. All the organisation was well managed and adapted to our needs during the trek to fit better to what we wanted. The guide Kumar and the porter Santos were nice and really professional but also fun and friendly to spend a good time. They really know the mountains and the risks and gave us great advices. I really recommand this agency !Written 20 October 2024
- Gracie5150 contributionsAnnapurna circuitWe did Annapurna circuit for 10 days. Gokul the owner of Outshine Tours managed to arrange this in last minute as we originally booked Everest Base Camp but flights was cancelled twice due to bad weather. He went above and beyond to make our trekking the most memorable one. The views of this trekking was amazing, every place you pass takes your breath away, our Tea houses are beautiful with our own private toilet. We thank Outshine Tours for this incredible adventure and highly recommended.Written 26 September 2024
- 345santoshd0 contributionsEverest Base CampWe did the EBC trek with Outshine, I couldn't recommend them more to anyone wishing to partake in any of their trips. The trip was absolutely phenomenal, everything was planned and carried out brilliantly to ensure the whole expedition ran smoothly. Gokul was very supportive, helpful and informative throughout, as well as welcoming us on our arrival into Kathmandu. Our Guide Ram was excellent making sure that we were well throughout and was very knowledgeable of the surroundings which he pointed out to us along the way. We had an amazing time and thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Thank you Gokul, Ram and the whole Outshine team!!Written 19 September 2024
- jimlP4720CY0 contributionsEBC April 2024We had an amazing time on our Everest Base Camp trek. It was tough but very rewarding. Our guide Kumar was brilliant, he did everything for us along the way, he was very helpful. Also our porter Santosh was brilliant too. I would highly recommend them if you’re thinking about doing the trek.Written 22 May 2024
- gillians5630 contributionsAdventure and pilgrimagewas 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 thanksWritten 18 May 2024
- Excursion415633180950 contributionsMountain Everest Scenic Flight - Perfect and uncomplicated booking of an experience in just a few minutes.Thank you for the great and uncomplicated tour. What can I say? Booked a perfect tour after work (after 8pm) with WhatsApp. Uncomplicated, competent and about 8 hours later we were picked up at the hotel for the flight and enjoyed a unique view of Everest and the other eight-thousanders. We will be back with Outshine Adventures at any time, with this experience also with other tours. Thanks again!Written 16 May 2024
- W7919NJmartinas0 contributionsEcxellentOutshine Adventure is a top adress for to organize our trekkingtour from lukla to mt everest base camp. From beginning with email conversation (everytime a fast and very kind response) with the chief from OA Gokhul. The greeting and welcome from the employee Asmita at the Airport of Kathmandu was very warm. After check in in the beautyful hotel sweet home in Kathmandu Asmita informed us detailed about the trekking tour. Next day we had a wonderful time with Siri to the most important sights of Kathmandu. Our Trekkingtour from Lukla to basecamp with our Guide Cumar was excellent. All the time we felt us save. This is very important for such an adventure. Martina and ChristophWritten 4 May 2024
- bhavyaaj0 contributionsAn Excellent Trek to Manaslu Circuit with Outshine Adventure!We embarked on an unforgettable journey along the Manaslu Circuit with Outshine Adventure, exploring additional highlights like Kathmandu Heritage Tours. Outshine Adventure graciously accommodated our request for extra days for an acclimatization and also to include some side trips, demonstrating impeccable professionalism and hospitality throughout our expedition. Our guide, Kumar, stood out with his exemplary service, providing us with insightful guidance, ensuring our health and well-being, and attentively caring for us during moments of fatigue or discomfort. The porters, including Prakash/Bhote ( as they called) and Anil. Kumar, went above and beyond their duties. Not only did they shoulder the weight of our bulky bags throughout the trek, but they also offered invaluable assistance on challenging terrains, ensuring our safety and comfort. Their warm demeanor and genuine Nepali hospitality enriched our journey, making it truly memorable. Thanks to the exceptional team at Outshine Adventure, we had an enriching and delightful experience on the Manaslu Circuit trek, creating lasting memories that we will cherish for years to come. Thank you. Namaste !Written 20 April 2024
- julianaaX8239JW0 contributionsBeautiful country! Beautiful people!My 4nights/5day trip to Bhutan was a great experience! The tour Guide, Tashi, was very patient and communicated throughout the day to make sure I was comfortable with the daily plans. I overall enjoyed my stay and will definitely visit Bhutan again.Written 17 April 2024
- 219wgs0 contributionsHopefully not a once in a lifetime tripI can only hope I can do another trip with Outshine in my lifetime. If you only read this far the company is fantastic, blew expectations out of the water and you should use them for your next trip. Communications from the very beginning were timely and informative from Gokul and his team, within 12 hours we always had a response to any inquiries we had which made us feel in good hands. Upon arrival everything was seamless from pickup to briefing the days ahead. Everything you possibly needed from currency to SIM cards was thought of and helped with. Asmita, checked in routinely to ensure that the trip was going well and to see if anything was needed which it never was because everything was already thought of. The highlight of the trip without a doubt was the trekking, but not just the beautiful mountains, amazing towns, forests and jungles, the main highlight was our guide Shom and our Porters Harka and Barbrom. Shom knew the land and rivers but more than that taught us about local customs, Buddhism, Hinduism, traditions, as well as song and dance and so much more. Every single day was laid out for us and if there were any issues or discomforts he would ensure it was taken care of. We never had any doubts with Shom that we would not make it over the mountain pass, he always went well beyond what was necessary, going out of his way to ensure everything was always perfect. Harka and Barbrom were always there giving a helping hand with a smile on their face and a few times saved us from forgetting some pretty critical items at a tea house! There’s really not enough good to say about the three guys. In addition to trekking we had some additional days and Outshine lined up a trip to Chitwan National Park for us. This was a great short trip that again was added to our overall trip without any hiccups or issues. We enjoyed a great safari jeep tour and canoe river tour viewing beautiful animal and plant life. Our guide and accommodations again were excellent. Every bit of this trip, the drivers, the hotel staff, the guides, Gokul, Asmita, was and is 5-star worthy. You are cared for and everyone is genuinely kind.Written 14 April 2024
- emilykT3520BQ0 contributionsIncredible views, even more incredible peopleWe did the Manaslu circuit and it was the most amazing experience I’ve ever had. I cannot recommend this hike enough. You see everything from emerald glacier rivers from daring suspension bridges, to lush green forests full of life (and monkeys), to absolutely breathtaking views of mountains while you feel like you’re on top of the world, and experience in depth culture and traditions. The only things that beat the views are all the incredible people along the way! They say Nepali people are some of the nicest people in the world and I couldn’t agree more! Our guide Som was the best guide EVER! He was very helpful and knowledgable, and went above and beyond every day to make sure we were comfortable. His great stories, stellar dance moves and words of encouragement are what got us up and over the pass. We also couldn’t have done it without our amazing porters Barburam and Harka. These mountain strongmen were so kind, generous and very patient with our slow legs (and slow brains trying to pick up the nepali they so gracefully taught us). Last but not least, Gokul and Asmita were very helpful in organizing the trip (even with some extra tours of kathmandu and chitwan) before we left and always quick to respond to any of our questions. This was my first time doing a hike like this and my first time in Asia and it would have been very overwhelming to try to organize myself, but everyone at Outshine Adventures made sure it was a smooth and spectacular experience. I will definitely be coming back to Nepal to experience more and asking for the same team to help me experience it!Written 12 April 2024
- brark20240 contributionsUnforgettable 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 !!!Written 1 April 2024
- paras v0 contributionsManaslu Tsum Valley Trek with Outshine Adventure !I have been in Nepal with my friends after talking to Gokul by email several times. After I decided to go with them for Manaslu circuit trekking including Tsum Valley, it was absolutely breathtaking experience trekking in Nepal! The majestic Himalayas, vibrant culture, and warm hospitality made every step memorable. Our guide Som was knowledgeable and ensured our safety throughout. Highly recommend for adventurers seeking unforgettable journeys!" We definitely come back again !Written 27 March 2024

I was recently in Nepal with my family, and we took a tour around Kathmandu with Outshine Adventure. We had a warm reception from Gokul, who from the beginning of our communication was very attentive. I want to thank in particular for the follow-up he gave to our Everest helicopter tour booking. Unfortunately it was not carried out due to bad weather but we are very grateful to Gokul who at all times worried about our safety.

Without a doubt the best agency to travel to Nepal, both for trekking and tours. I just got back from a trip to visit Kathmandu and Bhutan and I couldn't be more delighted. It is the second time I have traveled with them and it will not be the last. Absolute punctuality of guides and drivers, always attentive to the client from Gokul, the manager, to the charming Asmita, always ready to accompany you to the best places with a smile. One hundred percent recommendable agency and if you are also Spanish, much better, because they have guides in Spanish. Recommended one hundred percent. We will repeat. Just thank you very much for making my trip perfect.

One of the best travel agency I had engaged. They customised the trip according to my needs and Ramesh, my private guide even escorted me to Singapore Airlines office to deal with an emergency. Gokul, owner of the agency also WA me to ensure that I have all I need before I even land in Nepal.
Will definitely come back with my family and try out their Tibet and Bhutan tours.

I booked my entire trip with Outshine Adventure: 10 days in Nepal (Kathmandu, Chitwan and Pokhara) and 5 days in Bhutan (Timphu, Punakha and Paro); hotels in all cities were great, the tour guides impeccable; service was perfect in every sense. Gokul Sapkota was very helpful and always willing to help. I recommend them highly, you will not be disappointed.
