Everest Travel Guide

When to Go

Choosing the best time to trek to Everest Base Camp is crucial for an enjoyable and safe experience. The ideal times to visit are in the pre-monsoon (spring) from March to May, and the post-monsoon (autumn) from September to November. During these periods, the weather is stable, offering clear skies and spectacular views of the surrounding peaks.

In spring, you’ll encounter blooming rhododendrons and warmer temperatures, while autumn brings crisp air and unparalleled visibility. Winter (December to February) can be extremely cold but offers solitude for those willing to brave the chill. The summer monsoon (June to August) brings rain, making the trails slippery and reducing visibility.

By choosing the right time to go, you can maximize your chances of a successful and enjoyable trek to Everest Base Camp.
