  • Such a great experience Kailash and Lhasa Overland Tour with Yolo

    I am writing to thank you for organizing a 12-day trip for us to Mansarovar, Kailash, and Lhasa. The tour throughout was well managed. The assistance and services provided by your colleagues were superb. I especially would like to recognize your two colleagues namely Dil Bahadur Gurung and Tara Nath Bhatt for their help and cooperation throughout the trip period. There was not a single moment throughout the tour period where they were not available to help us. I would appreciate it if you could kindly convey our compliments and thanks to them. Once again, it was great traveling and participating with your tour packages, and hope that there will be opportunities for us to travel again with your tour packages. Thank you.
