Tibet Overland Tour on a Budget

This was an amazing trip 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.
This is an exemplary company that I highly recommend. Many thanks!

What do you say travelers? I leave here my review of the second visit to Nepal, a country that I love. As I said, it is my second visit to this beautiful country, the previous one was combined with a visit to Tibet, so I did not have the time necessary to explore it, do trekking and other activities. For this long stay and long trip through the mountains, exploring the lost Kingdom of Mustang and reaching the Terai, I chose this local travel specialist, which I had already met on my previous trip, in the person of its manager and owner Gokul Sapkota. If you only speak Spanish, you are in perfect hands here, he speaks Spanish very well and he has guides like “Siri” who speak it almost perfectly. Good guide service, your hotel is comfortable, with excellent staff, the guys there are very friendly, everything is well cleaned, the breakfast is good, they organize everything for you, Gokul is attentive to the service all day long, checking if everything is Well, if the guides are good, if the driver (what a good driver, we have traveled hundreds of kilometers on those impossible routes) and everything went in the best way, yyyy look, you have to drive there!!! I take off my hat.
We have done as much activity as we wanted, we trekked to Namche Bazar, we are grown people, Claudia had never trekked in the mountains, and what a debut!! Landing in Lukla is an unusual experience, “Raj” was waiting for us there. If you go to Lukla, look for this guide, his name is Tek Raj Tamang, he does not speak Spanish but he does speak perfect English, a very friendly, kind, polite young man, with a desire to serve the customer worth mentioning. Wow, he is patient, Claudia loves him for her help and collaboration, for her getting to Namche meant an enormous effort and with Raj's help she achieved it, we cried with emotion when we arrived at that beautiful place. If you read this, thank you very much Raj for such a beautiful shared experience. We will never forget returning to “Surket” in that torrential rain to take the helicopter. Well the helicopter flight was fantastic. From there we went with “Siri”, another exceptional guide, who speaks perfect Spanish, for part of the trip Gokul, the owner, accompanied us to the “Lost Kingdom of Mustang” at the other end of Nepal, a fantastic place, very similar to my land here in Patagonia. Argentina. An entire flight itinerary to Pokhara, from there by vehicle, with unforgettable experiences, sharing cuisine in the homes of locals, towns in the middle of that distance, monasteries, there was nothing left to see and learn about the local culture. From there we went to the other end, The Terai with the Indian border, Lumbini. To visit Budha and accomplish something very personal with Claudia. As you can see, we have gone around Nepal in 30 days of travel, everything turned out fantastic, a trip with capital letters. All the services offered were fulfilled, and those that were not were due to major reasons such as the weather, it was monsoon season, so difficulties arose that were resolved in an excellent way, looking for alternatives, other means of travel, additional meals, stays unscheduled, first-class care. We travel to get to know the culture, visit beautiful places, be in contact with people, we do not look for luxuries, but a very good personalized attention service, we do not travel in groups because we do not like it, we do it alone and we look for this kind of attention provided , which I reiterate was excellent to complete our trip. Maybe sometime we will hike Thamel again and visit these friends and hike with “Raj” around the base of Everest.
If you travel there ask for “Raj” and “Siri” (if you need to speak Spanish), they will not disappoint you. Good trip friends!!!

Molt recomanat!! D'entrada perquè en Gokul i alguns dels seus treballadors parlen molt bé el castellà i ens han ajudat amb totes les barreres lingüístiques que teníem tant a dins com a fora de l'hotel i en les visites/excursions.
En Gokul i el seu Staff són encantadors. Tenen un hotel que està situat en una zona molt cèntrica a prop de Thamel i de la parada de busos per anar a Pokhara/Chitwan.
L'espai és molt bonic i tranquil. Les habitacions són molt còmodes. I ens ha agradat molt en relació qualitat preu.
Ens han ajudat amb tot el que ens feia falta. Les excursions i visites guiades eren planejades per l'agència d'en Gokul i han estat una experiència increïble. El guía (en Siri) ens ha explicat fins l'últim detall de les històries de la ciutat. I l'excursió a Chitwan que ens ha planejat en Gokul ha estat una passada! Dues nits increïbles en una mena de resort amb piscina (molt bo qualitat preu) per viure l'experiència plena del safari i altres activitats en el Parc Natural.
En definitiva, en Gokul i el seu Staff ens han permès viure l'experiència nepalí en plena essència!
