By the end of the day, you will cross several high-suspension bridges and take an ascent to Namche Bazaar, the capital of the Khumbu Sherpas. Namche Bazaar is the perfect place to start acclimatizing before toward the Mt. Everest base camp height of 5364m. A rest day in Namche Bazaar is worthwhile, as there are several great walks you can take from Namche Bazaar, such as to Syangbuche for a magnificent view of Mt. Everest.

The Best Season for Everest Base Camp Trek?

The best time for a trek to Everest Base Camp depends on various factors, including weather conditions, visibility, and trail congestion, let’s explore the different seasons and their suitability for this iconic trek.

Spring (February to May):
The spring season offers pleasant weather and fewer crowds, blooming landscape-witness spring blooms along the trails. The trekkers have the personal choice to trek to Everest Base Camp during early April and loved their experience. While the true climbing season for summiting Everest occurs in April and May, the fall season offers clear skies and magnificent scenery, making it the more favorable time for trekking and the reason, why the Spring season is good for the Everest Base Camp trek.

  • Ideal Weather: Spring months offer stable and dry weather, making it perfect for trekking and high-altitude climbing.
  • Vibrant Scenery: The region is adorned with flowering rhododendrons, creating a colorful backdrop.
  • Busy Routes: Keep in mind that this is the most popular time for Everest summits, so expect many climbers and support crews on the trails.

Fall (September to October):
The fall season is also a good time to trek to Everest Base Camp and visit several tourists due to the following verities weather.

  • Clear Day: Fall brings clear skies and excellent visibility.
  • Cold Nights: While days are pleasant, nights can be colder but could be a good trek.
  • Less Crowded Routes: Consider exploring less popular routes like the Gokyo Lakes Trek to Everest Base Camp during this season.

Autumn ( Late September to November): The Autumn season is the best month to Trek to Everest Base Camp, most trekkers from different nationalities visit the Everest Base Camp during this season for the following reasons.

  • Dry and Clear: Autumn is the peak season with dry and clear days.
  • Trail Traffic: Trails are busiest during this time.
  • Stunning Views: Enjoy breathtaking vistas of the Himalayas.

Off-Season (Last week of December to January): Despite very cold temperatures, trekking is still possible, less crowded but can see the excellent mountain views, and shorter days- expect shorter daylight hours. You can still trek the classic route to Everest Base Camp, but be prepared for sub-zero temperatures at higher altitudes area. In summary, consider either spring or fall for your Everest Base Camp trek. Each season has its unique charm, so choose based on your preferences and availability for happy trekking.

Flight to Lukla Airport

Lukla Airport is one of the most challenging and dangerous airports in the world. The runway is incredibly short and slopes upward into the mountain to help arriving planes slow down. For departing planes, this incline becomes a decline, allowing them to gain speed for takeoff. Fortunately, flights to Lukla are usually successful, but it's an adrenaline-filled experience and our flight arrived safely in Lukla, marking the start of our Everest Base Camp adventure.

Trip Important

Main trekking season (April to May and October to November) all the airline flights to Lukla from Ramechhap-Manthali airport, which is about 130 kilometers far from Kathmandu and requires 4 hour's drive. A private vehicle is available according to your requirements.

    Are Acclimatization Days necessary for Everest Trek?

    Yes, acclimatization days are necessary for the Everest Base Camp Trek. Acclimatization refers to the process of adjusting to high-altitude environments to prevent altitude sickness and ensure the well-being of trekkers.

    During acclimatization days, trekkers have the opportunity to explore the surrounding areas, take short hikes to higher altitudes, and then return to lower altitudes for sleep. This process helps the body adjust to the decreasing oxygen levels and reduces the risk of altitude-related illnesses.

    14 Days Everest Base Camp Trek's package includes two acclimatization days at Namche Bazaar and Dingboche.
