Everest Base Camp Trek is such an implausible adventure trekking trip that takes you to the base camp of the world's highest Mount Everest.

This trek offers a great view of the mountain peaks including eight thousand meters high Lhotse and Everest, and many other peaks like Kusungagru, Thamserku, Ama Dablam, and several others. Trek with this adorable mountain in the Everest region makes it incredibly delightful.

However, this trek is not all about the gain of the mountains, but also its beauty in a diversity of cultures and people.

On your Everest, the base camp trek you will be walking through beautiful cultural villages of Sherpa villages, glacial rivers, and striking vegetation is definitely an experience of a lifetime that people should take at least once in a lifetime.

Everest itself is a magical place; on a trek to Everest you will definitely learn so many things about a vertical life and see some of the most beautiful views on the planet

The Everest base camp occasionally can be done any time of the year and there is no particular time to travel to Everest.

However, the usual suggestions are that spring (March-May) and autumn (Sep-Nov) are the best months for having clear skies and offer crystal clear views and still fairly warm weather.

Spring (March- MAY)

Spring falls in the months of March, April, and May. These months are fascinating months for trekking in Nepal.

EVEREST BASE CAMP TREK IN MARCH

March is an ideal month of the year for Nepal Trek. It falls beneath spring when the temperature in the mountain embarks on warmer in the daytime and colder in the night. The month is literally amazing.

The plants and trees become greener, and vegetation like rhododendron & oaks are likely to blossom on the hilly side of Nepal.

 

However, in the early days of March, you will likely experience fresh snowfall during the trek, but mostly the days have a clear sky and offer outstanding views of the Himalayas and its landscape.

As you go higher you will feel a different temperature than the lower region. The temperature can reach up to 18-degree Celsius in the daytime, and at night could be drop-down to -15to 20 degrees Celsius.

 

EVEREST BASE CAMP TREK IN APRIL

April is the second-best month of the spring season for the Everest Base Camp trek. The atmosphere in the month of April is warmer at the lowest part of the trail and sort of moderate at a higher elevation.
