Joi, you’re the best of the best👍 - Joi was my guide of the 6 day PoonHill trekking October 2023. I would highly, highly, recommend everyone to pair up with him. His company, his personality, reliability and the level of detailed care to me was superb, way above and beyond my expectation and description. Yes, I’d rate him 5+ out of 5!! And will call on him again with no reluctance.
