Autumn season (September- October) Best Time

Autumn Season ( September to December) is another Best Time to Trek Everest Base Camp, As the monsoon fades, the autumn trekking season begins in late September. This time of year is marked by clear sky and crisp air, with October and early November being particularly ideal for hiking. Although the weather is cooler during autumn than it will be during the spring season (about -10°C  at Base Camp during the day), the days are dry and the vistas are spectacular.
The monsoon rains will also have washed the countryside clean, making it look exceptionally lush and verdant.

Late September and October also mark the start of Nepal the most important holiday, the 15-day Dashain festival, which honors Durga, the Goddess of Victory, with thousands of animal sacrifices. Another ideal time to visit the region is in early November, when the crowds begin to thin out and the temperatures begin to cool, resulting in crisper, clearer
views. This weather trend will continue into December, but temperatures will most likely drop as
we approach the end of the year.

Winter (December – January)

Winter trekking in the Himalayas may be difficult for some, but for adventure-seeking trekkers,
this is the best season to go. Despite the fact that December marks the start of Nepal winter season, the weather near the EBC is the most reliable and ideal. Since winter starts in December, it’s mid-winter during January.

There are many advantages to visiting during the winter seasons. Hiring guides and porters is simple in the winter season because there are fewer tourists. During peak trekking season, there is a strong demand for guides and potters, making it difficult to find potters. Getting requested airplane tickets from Kathmandu to Lukla during the peak tourism season is difficult. During the winter, however, obtaining a suitable flight time to Lukla is simple. But among all the advantages, having a clear and peaceful trail to yourself stand out the most.

Monsoon (June- August)

Trekking in the Everest base camp during the monsoon season can be quite Challenging. The monsoon arrives in Nepal in late May and lasts through June, July, August, and early September. It doesn’t always rain all day during the rainy season, but it does rain every day, making routes muddy and plagued with leeches, the mountains often dense with clouds, and landslides common and disruptive to travel.

The most difficult part will be getting into and out of the mountains. For days on end, there may be no flights in or out of Lukla. Lower in the trail, you may encounter severe rains, making trekking arduous and challenging. We recommend avoiding this time of year if at all possible, since your views will most likely be obstructed, there is a higher chance of landslides, and it is an overall more difficult time to be in the Everest region.

Conclusion

one of the top trekking places in the world is the Everest base camp trek. You can trek to
Everest base camp at any time of year, but there are a few ideal seasons to see most of the
Everest region. So, if you want to visit the Everest base camp, you should figure out when the
optimum time is to go.
