What people are saying about Lukla

The whole trip was amazing. Though we had to add three additional days of hiking as because of bad weather there were no flights to Lukla, we enjoyed it a lot. It was a little bit intense at the beginning as we wanted to get to the original plan asap, but we were glad for it in the end as we were able to see the more authentic side of Nepal. Later we continued on the trail as it was planned and successfully made it to both EBC and Kala Patthar. Our guide always took care of us and managed everything we needed and wanted with no problem. It was very comfortable to have a guide who can arrange everything as it was the first time we were in Nepal and to be honest, it can be a little bit chaotic for Europeans :)) Also, he managed us our porter and sometimes helped me with some my stuff himself <3 Hari, the organiser, was there for us all the time as well and ready to help and manage anything we needed. Back in Kathmandu we also had a nice little party. I can only recommend this trip!

I did the Everest Base Camp Trek in Feb 2023 and had an incredible time. The team at Outshine Adventures were superb in providing timely information, accommodation and ensuring I had the proper gear before the trek. They were also kind enough to help me retrieve my luggage from the airport which was delayed upon arrival in Nepal. The Outshine team provided a fantastic day tour of Kathmandu prior to the trek, where I was able to learn more about the culture and city with a very experienced guide, making the beginning of this trip that much more exciting. The trek itself was unbelievably stunning and was both a humbling and an amazing experience. My guide, Dillisher Katuwal was truly world class in both his experience of the mountains as well as ensuring I was safe each step of the way. Trekking with him was incredibly enjoyable and rewarding. For anyone considering any form of adventure to Nepal, I would highly recommend this company as well as Dillisher Katuwal as your guide.

The tour was well organized by Hari. Unfortunately there were no flights to Lukla due to bad weather. Therefore, a jeep was quickly organized to take us to Phaplu. So you could really see a lot of the landscape! From there it should then go on foot to Lukla in 2 days. We weren&#39;t prepared for the (unplanned) part of the tour and unfortunately overstretched ourselves. There was also a minor knee injury. So we decided to split the group up and got a new guide the next morning for free. Due to the injury, we only hiked as far as Lukla. Since there were no more flights to Ramecchap or Kathmandu in Lukla, Hari organized a helicopter for us. That too was a great experience! A few extra days in the hotel came on top of that! All in all very well organized and can only be recommended. Hari really makes everything possible for his guests!!:)

What an incredible company to work with. Pretravels the communication was excellent. Always got a response to all my questions. Upon arrival pick up and hotel registration went very smooth. The hotel was in a great location and was very clean. The actual tours where 5 star. I had a knowledgably Sherpa during my trek that was fantastic and I felt safe during my entire travels. Outshine is a great company to tour with. Everything went smoothly and they went beyond my expectations to meet my needs. I recommend 100%.

I had a great adventure in which I always felt safe. The organization ran smoothly and flexibly. My needs were addressed and interaction with my guide was excellent interpersonal. Any time.
