Hiking to Everest – no matter which trek you choose – is an ambition of a lifetime. So you don’t want it ruined by bad weather. If it is too hot or cold, it could make the trek difficult, uncomfortable, and, at times, dangerous. So, to make sure you make the most of your hike, we recommend following our guide to the best time of year to hike Everest.

Spring (March-May) and autumn (September–November) are the best seasons to trek to Mount Everest. However, each season offers something different –so read on to see which season best complements your trekking needs:

Autumn Season

Individuals wishing to experience Nepal's true natural beauty should opt to trek in autumn, as this season has clear, dry, and reliable weather. Moreover, during this time, the sky remains clear, and thus, trekkers can witness the best mountain views. In addition, this season allows travelers to view hills, lush valleys, rivers, forests, and waterfalls, making their journey truly as beautiful as possible.

Spring Season

Those wanting to travel through the dense rhododendron forests for which Nepal is famous should choose to trek between March and May. During this season, you can expect warmer temperatures with a slight chance of precipitation. In addition, this is the peak season for the flowers indigenous to the area to blossom, making this a lush and beautiful environment to enjoy your trek.
