Best Time to Climb Mt. Everest

Dust from the plains of India during the spring routinely provides less than ideal conditions for clear mountain views. April and early May is a good time to see the hedgerows and trees bursting into bloom, with Rhododendrons, in particular, adding a spectacular splash of color to the landscape

 

The views are much better after the summer monsoons have cleared the atmosphere of dust, but the days are shorter and cooler. But in summer, pay attention to the threatening monsoon season.

 

There is a good time in Autumn to climb Mt. Everest after the monsoon season fading out.

 

The winters are very cold and snow may make it difficult to travel higher than Tengboche, and also lodges may be closed above this altitude. Summers, on the other hand, are wet, and the spectacular peaks are often lost in the clouds.

 

Sept to Jan are excellent months to travel to Everest base camp because these days are quite dry. The weather is beginning to get warmer with the particular periodic quick shower. It is sometimes quieter than the other peak period of Sept to Nov.

 

These months can be very cold but it is generally dry and clear and all the routes are very quiet which is great.
