Best time to Tour to Everest Base Camp

The best time to go on the Everest Base Camp tour is during Spring (March to April) and Autumn (late September to November). These are peak season to go on this trek. The climate is also fine with a little chill in the air. The views are also fantastic during this time of the year.

Whereas, June to mid-September are the Monsoon, which is not so preferable time to go on the trek as climate become wet and humid making the trail slippery and risky.

During Winter (December to February) very few trekkers go on this trek as region becomes extremely cold and receives heavy snowfall. Chilled wind makes the journey even tough, however, the views are prominent as the sky becomes clear and calm. Therefore, this time is perfect for photographers to capture the best views of the Himalayas and its sceneries.

Note: If you are tired and want to end your hike after Everest Base Camp and Kalapatter, we will have the options for you. If so you can fly back from Gorakshep by helicopter paying additional cost for helicopter to Lukla or Kathmandu.

What ourClients Say?

Already planning my next trek with this company
Oct 2024 • Solo
What a beautiful trek. Everything the overview promised and more. In the 'additional information' on the company's website they forewarn you that while the tour is categorised as easy, they would put it in the moderate to difficult basket. I would agree. At 57 I'm older than the average trekker, and yes perhaps I was feeling my age a bit. Make sure you're fit.

Guide Bishnu helped me a lot - a brilliant guide. He gave me tips on how to go the distance, how to pace it - going at a slow but steady pace with frequent little breaks. He told me he has done this trek hundreds of times and obviously knows it very well - right down to the fine details, eg. which hotel room to book, so that the client has a view of the mountains. Having done the trek many, many times hasn't dented his enthusiasm for it and for making sure the client is happy. With all the hotel bookings made for me in advance, everything ran like clockwork.

A very professional company with good clear communication and prompt replies to queries. I'll be booking with them for my next trek.

We had a fantastic experience with Nepal Hiking Adventures and highly recommend this company to those researching a trek to Everest Base Camp. The owner Bishnu is very professional and responsive through WhatsApp which made booking very easy. The trek is great value for money, and we had excellent support from our guide Ram, and Sherpa Hemanta. Ram in particular made our trip very enjoyable, he went at a comfortable pace suitable for all members of the group, checked in with us all the time to make sure we were feeling well as we ascended and descended, and was really enjoyable company, a fun person to be around. Don’t hesitate to book with Nepal Hiking Adventures, highly recommended!

What a pleasurable and exciting experience I had.
I was planning for my first hiking trip to Nepal and the foremost trip was to visit the Everest Base Camp. A dear colleague of mine referred Nepal Everest base camp team, where Bishnu was to help organise the trip. Not going into too many details, I hired Bishnu and I must say his openness and facilitation took care of everything for me.
Not knowing what to expect when I land in Kathmandu, I was taken care from the moment I exited the arrival terminal. Gore Sherpa was appointed as my guide and personal escort. He from that point on would not let me worry about any thing; dropping me at the hotel and picking up for Lukla flight, which got cancelled due to bad weather and then successfully landing in Lukla the next day, and then the whole trek. Gore was on top of everything, he made sure that I do not have to ask for anything. Breakfast, Lunch and dinner arrangements, room comfortability, having an extra blanket, carrying my stuff himself, everything was managed to perfection. He would match my pace at the trek and not once he had shown any single grin on his face.
I would like to thank and strongly recommend Nepal Everest Base Camp for a memorable hiking experience to all who are reading this review and also you should insist Gore to be your guide who will not only take care of you but would be a perfect companion in terms of history and conversations about the mountains, peaks and passes in Nepal.

What a pleasurable and exciting experience I had.
