1. Weather
The first thing that comes to mind when thinking about Everest Base Camp is the weather. And this should be properly considered before you plan to go to Everest.
Everest has four seasons – Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring.
Summer starts from June and continues to September. This is the time when it rains as well. The temperature is warm and you don’t have to worry a lot about freezing cold. The temperatures are generally between 20 -25 degrees in the summer and therefore you can enjoy basking in the sun.
The best times to travel are Autumn and Spring. Autumn lasts from September – December while Spring lasts from March – May. The weather is mild and you don’t have to worry about rain or having a fuzzy view of the mountains. The average temperature during the daytime is 18 degrees and perfect for travel
The winter that lasts from late December – late February can be bitterly cold during the nights.
But:
Daytime temperature is around 10-15 degrees.
Also, Clothing and preparation will make you enjoy Everest around this time as well. The snow perfectly sets in and the rich colors that the mountain offers reaches its peak.
