Everest View Trek Weather, Temperature and Season

Winter (December to February)

The winter season is usually calm and fewer trekkers join Everest View trek at this time. During the winter season, temperatures at lower sections can range between 0°C and 5°C during the day while nighttime temperatures can drop significantly. At higher sections, it may even fall to -10°C or even lower.

Though the winter weather may be cold, the season provides clear skies for trekking as there is no cloud cover and monsoon haze. The winter scenery of the Himalayas also looks ethereal.
During this season, fresh snow might cover the trail, and some sections of higher sections could be icy. So, caution is required while traversing.

Also, sometimes the Lukla flight can be delayed due to winter fog and high winds. But then again, the serenity brought by the low crowds on the trails can make the winter trek worth the effort. However, you must check the weather and confirm routes are safe to traverse with your guides before heading out.

The cold temperatures, shorter days, and potential flight delays to Lukla can make winter Everest View Trekking relatively challenging. However, as the highest altitude of this trek is not extreme compared to other destinations, it can actually be an amazing time for well-prepared trekkers.

Autumn (September to November)

The autumn season is ideal for the Everest View Trek because of the stable weather conditions, moderate temperatures, and clear views of the mountains. It is the post monsoon season. As rain washes away the dust and pollution, the weather becomes clear, visibility improves and you can get to admire incredible and sharp views of Everest and the other Himalayan peaks.
The daytime temperature in autumn is comfortable for trekking. The morning and evening temperatures may drop as the elevation rises but the nightime cold is manageable with the right clothing.

The temperature during day in lower villages ranges between 8°C and 15 °C. At night time, it can drop to -1°C and lower, especially at higher areas of the route.

The trekking paths in autumn months are mostly dry and well defined making navigation easy and smooth. During this period, the villages and teahouses receive numerous trekkers and the trail is vibrant and full of energy.

The navigation at this time can be truly comfortable with minimal likelihood of heavy rains or snowy winters. The trek can be completed in your intended time without any kind of disruptions. All these factors make this season stand out as the most preferred time for the Everest View Trek.

Spring (March to May)

The spring season is also a great time for undertaking the Everest View Trek. The temperatures gradually rise after a cold winter during this period and the weather becomes pleasant for trekking and exploration.

The daytime temperature in this month is around 9°C to 14 °C. However, at night time, the temperature can drop between -2°C and 0 °C. As month progresses, the temperature gradually rises.

The monsoon season offers an entirely different side to the Everest Region. In monsoon, rainfall is frequent. So, hillsides and vegetation turn deep green. The number of trekkers is also much lower in this season and you can ensure a peaceful walk. But heavy downpours can turn the paths wet, muddy and slippery. Also, clouds and haze may block mountain views.

In this season, the lower elevations are sunny and warm. However, higher sections are still on the colder side. The daytime temperatures can range between 15°C and 20 °C. But the nights can still be chilly, with temperatures dropping up to 3 °C.

In addition, there may also be leeches present on the forested path, adding to the discomfort. Those planning to trek during this season must prepare carefully. Weather monitoring should be done regularly.
Likewise, trekkers should carry reliable waterproof clothing, rain cover, high quality trekking shoes and insect repellent. Also, monsoon weather can disrupt flights to and from Lukla. So, having two or three extra days in your itinerary is essential at this time for unexpected delays.
