The trials will fill with lots of adventure lovers as it’s the best time to observe a magnificent clear picture of mountains and beautiful surroundings. The average temperature of Namche Bazar will be around 2 to 17 degrees Celsius. You will have a comfortable and cozy night in suitable tea house treks. During the day, it’s quite hot so you can walk comfortably.

Autumn Season

Autumn falls from September to November, which is another fantastic season for trekking. You will experience neither too hot nor too cold during the Everest trek. Autumn falls just after the monsoon ends, and hills are refilled and lush with vibrant views in clean air washed by rain. There will be light rain, but the views afterwards are marvellous. Days are warmer between 15 to 20 degrees Celsius, whereas night will be a little colder.

Winter Season

This season falls between December to February, and it is the least favourite season of the year for the Everest full picture trek.

Spring ( March - May )

You will witness the blooming rhododendron and the chirping sound of the birds. Colourful wildflowers will light up the entire region of Everest which fills your heart with mixed emotions of excitement, peace, and joy.

Autumn ( Sep - Nov)

The views are crystal clear, providing a wide range of beautiful mountains and green hills. During this joyous season, you will witness the mountains, hills, rivers, and waterfalls full of life. Many festivals like Dashain, Tihar, and Chhat fall in this season. You will get a chance to observe Nepalese culture and celebrate different festivals with locals.

Winter ( Dec - Feb)

The weather is freezing cold during the night, but still, the adventure lover can trek here.
