Best time to visit Everest Base Camp Trek 14 days

The best season for trekking to Everest Base Camp is during the pre-monsoon (spring) season which falls from March to May and the post-monsoon (Autumn) season which falls from September to November. During these seasons, the weather is relatively stable and clear, making it easier to trek and get a clear view of the mountains.

Autumn 

Trekking to Everest Base Camp during the autumn season is an excellent option for those looking to enjoy cooler temperatures, clear skies, and stunning views of the Himalayas. Autumn is the driest season in the Everest region, with mild temperatures during the day and cold temperatures at night. The average daytime temperatures range from 10 °C  to 15 °C and drop from -10°C to -15 °C at night. During the autumn season, the skies are usually clear, providing trekkers with excellent views of the surrounding mountains, including the mighty Mount Everest.

The autumn season is the most popular time to trek to Everest Base Camp, so expect to encounter more crowds on the trails and in the teahouses. The trials are generally in good condition during the autumn season, with the monsoon rains have passed, making it easier to trek without getting stuck in muddy paths.

Spring

The spring season is characterized by warm weather, clear skies, and blooming rhododendron forests which is considered one of the best times to do this trek. During this time, the weather is generally stable, with mild temperatures, clear skies, and low humidity. The trek is very popular during this time, so you will have plenty of company on the trail. You can expect to see many other trekkers, and there will be lots of opportunities to meet trekkers. In addition to the favorable weather conditions, the spring season also brings with it a stunning display of wildflowers and rhododendrons in bloom, adding to the beauty of the already spectacular mountain scenery.

Monsoon

Everest Base Camp trek during the monsoon season can be challenging due to the heavy rainfall and cloudy skies, but it can also be a unique and rewarding experience. During the monsoon season, the Everest region receives heavy rainfall, and the temperature is relatively warm. The average daytime temperature ranges from 15°C to 20°C and drops to 5 °C to 10°C at night. While the views of the mountains may be limited due to the cloudy and misty weather, the landscapes are lush and green, and the waterfalls and rivers are at their most impressive.

The monsoon season is the least popular time to trek to Everest Base Camp, so you are likely to encounter fewer crowds on the trails and in the teahouses. The trails can be muddy and slippery during the monsoon season, making the trek more challenging. However, with proper equipment and caution, it is still possible to complete the trek.

Winter

Trekking to Everest Base Camp during the winter season is a challenging but incredibly rewarding experience. The weather during the winter season is cold, with temperatures dropping as low as -20°C at higher altitudes. The days are relatively clear, but the nights are cold, and there can be occasional snowfall. The clear skies provide excellent views of the surrounding mountains, and the snowy landscapes are stunningly beautiful. The winter season is the least popular time to trek to Everest Base Camp, so expect to encounter very few crowds on the trails and in the teahouses.

The trails are likely to be covered with snow and ice, making them more challenging to trek. However, with proper equipment and caution, it is still possible to complete the trek. During the winter season, the days are shorter, with less daylight. It’s important to plan your trek accordingly and to make sure you have proper lighting for trekking in the dark. It’s important to be well-equipped, physically fit, and mentally prepared for the journey.

Food & Accomodation:

Food and Accommodation on Everest Base Camp Trek

During their trek to Everest Base Camp, all traveler’s primary priorities are food and lodging. We can offer outstanding lodge homes and hotels despite the fact that Everest is located in a remote area of the country where there are no 5-star hotels. The trek lasts 11 nights in total, including an additional 2 days in Kathmandu. In hotels, twin-sharing is the norm, while single bedrooms can be arranged upon request.

Tea houses are the most common form of accommodation on the Everest Base Camp trek, with options ranging from basic dormitory-style rooms to private rooms with en-suite bathrooms. Most tea houses have communal dining areas, and some even have Wi-Fi and hot showers (for an additional fee).

Food is necessary during the trek. The most important source of energy for the trip is food burning. In Nepalese, the term “Dal Bhat power, 24 hours” refers to the ability to survive for practically a day after consuming dal bhat. The national dish is dal bhat, but you can also request cuisines like momo noodle soups, Sherpa cuisine, or other regional specialties including curries, lentils, and veggies.

The menu often includes items like bread, eggs, pizza, prawns, Momo, ramen noodles, and desserts like ice cream, oatmeal, and steaks.

Avoiding dairy items, hard drinks, and beverages with a lot of caffeine is strongly advised because they could negatively affect your physiology and health at higher altitudes

Essential Info:

Acclimatization on Everest Base Camp Trek 

Acclimatization is a critical aspect of the Everest Base Camp Trek because the altitude can have a significant impact on the body, causing altitude sickness or acute mountain sickness (AMS). AMS is caused by reduced air pressure and lower oxygen levels at high altitudes, and it can cause symptoms such as headaches, nausea, dizziness, and fatigue.

To acclimatize properly during the Everest Base Camp Trek, it is essential to follow these tips:

  • Gradual Ascent: The key to acclimatizing is to ascend gradually. You should not climb too quickly, as it can increase the risk of altitude sickness. Therefore, it is advisable to follow the recommended itinerary for the Everest Base Camp Trek, which includes regular acclimatization days.
  • Hydration: It is crucial to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, especially at higher altitudes. Aim to drink at least 3-4 liters of water per day to avoid dehydration, which can exacerbate altitude sickness.
  • Rest: Take plenty of rest breaks throughout the trek, especially on acclimatization days. Resting helps your body to adjust to the altitude and recover from physical exertion.
  • Altitude Medication: Some trekkers may benefit from taking medication to prevent or treat altitude sickness. Consult with a doctor before the trek and carry the necessary medications with you.
  • Avoid Alcohol and Smoking: Avoid drinking alcohol and smoking, as they can worsen altitude sickness symptoms and hinder acclimatization.
  • Monitor Symptoms: Keep a close eye on any symptoms of altitude sickness, such as headaches, dizziness, nausea, and fatigue. If you experience any serve symptoms, it is best to descend to a lower altitude immediately and seek medical attention.

Trekking Difficulties

The Everest Base Camp trek is considered a challenging trek and requires a good level of physical fitness and endurance. The trek includes numerous rough and difficult path parts as well as lengthy, steep ascents and descents. The difficulty of the walk is significantly influenced by altitude. The trail rises to a height of over 5000 meters (16,400 feet), and trekking at such elevations can be physically taxing and dangerous for one’s health.

However, with adequate preparation and training, the Everest Base Camp trek can be completed by people of all ages and fitness levels. It is important to acclimatize properly, stay hydrated, and take breaks when needed. Hiring a knowledgeable guide and carrying appropriate gear is also essential for a safe and successful trek.

Trekking cost

Guide and porter

Everest Base Camp trekking permit

To protect the natural splendor of Mount Everest and other summits in the Himalayan range, the government of Nepal charges permits and entry fees. For Everest Base Camp, you need the following permits:

  • Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Permit (NPR 2000 per person)
  • Sagarmatha National Park Entry Permit (NPR 3000 per person)

Important Documents and Information to get these permit

  • 2 passport-size photos
  • Photocopy of your passport
  • Dates when your trek starts and ends
  • Emergency Contact Information
  • Travel Insurance Detail

 

Drinking Water

Trekkers must drink plenty of water to keep their bodies hydrated and avoid altitude sickness (AMS, Acute Mountain Sickness). Three to four liters of water per day should be consumed while trekking to the EBC.

Instead of purchasing bottled water, we strongly advise you to carry one reusable water container that can hold hot water. Bottled water can be pricey on treks and contribute to thrashing issues around Mount Everest. Water purification tablets can be used to clean water. But after taking tablets, the flavor will change. Water should always be consumed after sufficient cleansing. At the teahouse, boiled water is offered for an extra fee.

Travel Insurance

A strong travel insurance policy that provides sufficient insurance for all of your activities is essential for the Everest Base Camp trek. During the entire trip, anything may happen. Although we are more concerned with safety, accidents, and emergencies that may happen where we are occasionally cannot be completely ruled out.

Your travel insurance plan should cover any medical issues you may experience while trekking, as well as physical injuries, helicopter evacuation, hospital costs, and other charges.

Electricity and Communication

In the city area, there will always be electricity and an internet connection. There may be power disruptions in some village areas during treks, though. Due to the overcrowded route and remote location, even in tea houses or lodges where you choose to stay, there can be extra fees for using electricity or internet services. Please be aware that there won’t be any access to electricity or the Internet during the journey. The tea houses or lodges where you will be staying are the best places to charge your electronic gadgets.

ATM and Currency Exchange

Travelers can easily obtain Nepalese currency in Nepal’s major urban centers of Kathmandu because of the abundance of easy ATMs and money exchange facilities that are available there. In remote locations, where only Nepalese money is used and modern banking facilities may be rare, these services might not be easily accessible.

Travelers are highly recommended to make plans ahead of time and convert their foreign currency for Nepalese currency before starting a trek to avoid probable inconveniences. This will guarantee that sufficient local currency is easily accessible to buy necessities like food, water, and other important goods while on the hike. The process can be sped up and unnecessary tension reduced by seeking advice from local currency exchange services in Pokhara or Kathmandu.

My girlfriend and I recently visited the EBC. The hike was difficult at times but in the end, the amazing view of the mountains and the amazing people by my side made the whole experience worth it. The trip was so wonderful and I can’t put it into words. You just have to be there to understand this feeling of accomplishment.
