Everest View Trek - Trip Information

Everest View Trek Best Season

The autumn of Nepal starts in September and runs up to November, which is usually said to be the best time of the year. From then on, this season can also offer pretty good clear views of snow-capped Everest, Lhotse, and Ama Dablam. The temperatures will be moderate, too, and the skies clear-just perfect to go on a trek. And above all, colored landscapes coupled with the festive atmosphere of Dashain and Tihar combine into a rich experience of trekking.

Autumn Season:

In September, October, and November, the trekking is pretty good; usually, the weather is stable with crystal clear skies. Pretty vibrant trails with flowers in bloom and fresh greenery just after the monsoon. The temperature in these seasons oscillates between 10°C to 20°C, hence pleasant enough during the day. So, this is the peak season of trekking that makes the trail bursting with life.

Winter Season:

Winter is cold, especially at altitude, but the skies are very clear and there are fewer people. Daytime temperatures can rise as high as 5° to 10° C and nighttime temperatures may be below freezing. Some trails are closed by snow but generally, it’s a good time for trekkers seeking solitude.

Spring Season:

The other awesome season is spring- it has the forests of rhododendron bloom in steamy red and pink. The temperature still remains pleasant, ranging from 10°C to 20°C. The mountain scenery continues to be great and the fauna active and makes the trek beautiful.

Monsoon Season:

Worst in terms of the monsoon, with prevailing torrential rainfall, is accompanied by a muddier trail with lesser visibility; however, the temperature can be far from cold, ranging from 15 to 25 degrees. In the meantime, other challenges such as leeches and landslides will also develop there to keep trekkers at it during the monsoon. For some trekker, when the place is quieter and more vividly green, it is time apt for most of the adventure reasons.
