Everest View Trek Best Season
The Autumn season, which lasts from September to November, is the prime time to embark on the Everest View Trek. This period offers excellent visibility, pleasant temperatures, and a favorable environment for trekking. Moreover, you are less likely to experience rain and snowfall during this season. Autumn is widely recognized as the optimal time to undertake the Everest journey, as well as other trekking routes in Nepal. Following Autumn, the second-best season for the trek is Spring, which spans from March to May. During this time, you will be treated to the enchanting rhododendron bloom and have the opportunity to observe various bird species. On the contrary, Winter (December to February) and the rainy season (June to August) are considered unfavorable seasons for the Everest Trek due to adverse weather conditions. Flight cancellations due to poor visibility are common during these periods. If you wish to avoid the bustling crowds along the Trail, it would be wise to choose February, August, or December for your Everest View Trek.
