Gokul Sapkota

I am the Founder and Managing Director of Outshine Adventure, an established eco-tourism and trekking agency based in Kathmandu, Nepal. With over 15 years of hands-on experience navigating the Himalayas, I specialize in organizing high-altitude expeditions, including the Everest Base Camp Trek, Annapurna Circuit, Manaslu Circuit, and 6,000m peak climbing (Mera Peak, Island Peak). My expertise spans Himalayan logistics, local permit regulations, altitude sickness prevention (AMS), trekking gear, seasonal weather patterns, and sustainable, community-first tourism in Nepal. I frequently advise international travelers, journalists, and adventure enthusiasts on realistic trip budgeting, local cultural etiquette, and safety protocols for trekking in the high Himalayas.
