Albert was very very helpful with our planning offerings activity suggestions, restaurant recommendations and general information that we found helpful.
Planet Earth arranged a pick up from my Hotel to the trekking spot. Albert the person who helped me book the trip is so customer centric that he followed up once the trekking time has been changed and then the day before the trekking.
They would provide all the gears like helmet, crampons etc. Seeing the Glacier for the first time and then trekking on it was an awesome experience. If you love nature, don't miss this trip
Overall very satisfied with the trip and Planet Earth.
