  • Ramjee
    · August 17th, 2024
    Highly Recommended Apr 2024 • Friends Did a Poonhill hike with Touch Planet. It’s such a memorable and enjoyable trip. Our guide Mr. Ramjee is very caring and he made sure all team members were well taken care of. Our porters were very trust worthy and took care of our staff very well, they were also very caring and made sure that all members find the path by staging at different location as we trek at different speed. Thank you Touch Planet for taking good care of us and make sure that everyone has an enjoyable and safe trip!!
