We have two best seasons in the year like autumn and spring, Autumn best month is mid September to mid December and spring best month is mid February to May this two seasons are the best seasons for this trek because of the weather is fine and warm with perfect views but the nights are chilly and can drop to freezing level in higher altitude. Winter season is also good for Gorepani Poon Hill Trek the only problem is cold and lot of snow at Gorepani and on the way to Tadapani.

We contacted the company and got an immediate positive and professional response from Bibek. He went great lengths to offer us a trek that suited our time and budget while in Nepal.
We hiked the Ghorepani-Ghandruk circle in six days with Domi as a guide and Lhakpa as a porter. They both did a super job and were always helpful and at our service. We stayed in nice small guesthouses along the way and Domis experience with the area helped us get the best food and accommodation at every place we stopped.
We learned a lot from Domi about Nepali culture and way of life while hiking, and he also knows everything there is to know about mountains, weather conditions, flora and fauna.
Next time we're in Nepal (we will come back), we're definitely using Eco Tourism Adventure again. You meet many people and companies along the way, and none seemed as professional as ETA.
Excellent 7 day trek in the Annapurna range including poon hill. An extremely professional company who will tailor a trek to your need and overdeliver on your expectations. With long experience I felt sure they know their stuff. I’ll use them again for my next Nepal visit.
Our guide was Domi and the assistant guide Lhakpah. Compared to other group guides we met these guys are truly professionals.
