    · May 3rd, 2025
    Am participat la o excursie de grup de 10 zile in Tibet, cu plecare din si intoarcere in Kathmandu. Am planificat calatoria cu mult timp inainte, iar dl Gokul a fost motivul pentru care am reusit sa mergem intr-un final. Comunicarea cu dansul a fost excelenta, ne-a pregatit din timp documentele, ne-a explicat conditiile, ne-a ajutat cu logistica inainte si dupa excursie, chiar si cu cateva lucruri personale de care am avut nevoie. In timpul excursiei a mentinut legatura cu ghidul local din Tibet si chiar a cerut sa discute cu noi, sa vada daca totul e in regula. Pe langa toate astea, e un om exceptional, foarte amabil, chiar am ramas cu impresia ca ne-am facut un prieten. Cu siguranta ne vom intoarce in Nepal pentru alte excursii cu agentia dansului.

    Outshine adventures and their partners in Tibet were superb. Asmita and Gokul in Nepal were excellent and Tarkye and Tsedun in Tibet were superb. The trip by its nature is challenging but we could not have wished for a more organised company
