This is the time after the cold freezing season of winter and far from the rainy season of summer or monsoon. The season carries the outstanding weather that makes your trip funny and exciting with the welcome blooming of different rhododendron flowers on the trail.

The trail is captivating with greenery and clear weather with a pleasant climate and we can touch the spiritual vibration of the majestic mountains in a combination of colorful rhododendron flowers. The temperature remains stable in a day and visibility is clearer within the sunshine over crystal clear blue sky. Usually, the temperature gets 15 – 18 degrees in the day and goes -10 degrees Celsius at night and in the morning as wind speed is limited to around 14km/hr, and normally, the sun shines around 7 hours per day while precipitation limits 15 mm per a month but this decreases the probability of rainfall.

Weather in March for Everest Base Camp Trek

This is the beginning month of the spring after the winter season. The temperature gets moderate and all the tea houses and lodges start to reopen to provide services for the trekkers and climbers (normally tea houses and lodges remain closed during the winter because of extreme cold and heavy snowfall) at the elevated mountain region. At the start of March, days are short and the temperature begins to warm up as it is better than in January and February but the chances of snowfall are still not ending. The temperature will be around 7 degrees during the day but at night it will fall up to – 10 to – 12 degree Celsius as it is good weather and moderate temperature of the Himalayas.

The clear combination of greenery, silver shining White Mountains, and crystal clear skies will be an awesome mixture of the natural phenomena of Mother Earth.

Similarly, till the first 3 weeks of this month, the weather remains stable and it will be pleasant but sometimes monsoon will affect from the first week of this month so, none can predict the weather exactly but can share the experience of previous times and can guess as it is nearer to June and may get an experience of some rainfall at the low land of Nepal.

The temperature during this month will remain from 15 degrees in the day to 0 degrees at night. The days become longer and warmer. The temperature increases as the climbers prefer summiting the peak during the month of May. So, it is better to plan for Everest Base Camp Trek before the 15th of May as you will not be disturbed by the rainy weather of the upcoming summer season.

Everest Base Camp Trek Weather Forecast in Monsoon (June July and August)

Monsoon is the rainy season and most of the days and nights keep raining. This season is the time for planting different crops. Likewise, from the month of June to August monsoon gets active in Nepal and may last up to mid–September. But in case of the travelers, this season is not a suitable time to visit Nepal apart from the Mustang region. At this time temperature increases up to 20 degrees in the day and at night will be 10 degrees. Days are hotter and get sweating from our bodies.

At the lower elevation, the trail gets muddy, mossy, and slippery because of the downpour of the rain. Snow melts due to the higher temperature and the trail becomes free as most of the trekkers do not prefer hiking in this season while the lodges, hotels, and airlines announce heavy discounts.

On the other hand, visibility gets very poor and all the mountains are closed by clouds. The precipitation level has also increased up to 190 mm at the Everest Base Camp and wind speed will be around 16km/hr it is because of clouds and daily sunshine lasts for 5 hours. Solar is only the option for electricity-generating systems in the Himalayan region.

That is why, the monsoon does affect this as well which helps us to charge our electronic devices. The month of June is taken as the beginning point of the monsoon but the regular downpour is started from mid-June. This time the temperature increases in the Himalayan region up to 20 degrees and falls in the 1 or 2 degrees. The trekking trails become peaceful because of the less trekkers on the way. But in terms of the mountains’ sceneries, this month is not appropriate as most of the Time Mountains get close because of the clouds.

June is the beginning time for the monsoon and the regular downpour normally starts from mid-June. The temperature of the Himalayas will rise to 18 degrees during the day and fall to 2 degrees at night.

For the 2-3 weeks of August, there will be rainfall at the lower altitude and the temperature goes to 17 degrees Celsius and it falls to 3 degrees Celsius at night. The weather is getting better after the end of August and the number of trekkers also increasing gradually.

The average temperature during the day is around 13 degrees and it will decline – 20 at night time as the wind speed will be 40km/hr. However, after a whole day of sunshine, we have to prepare for the extremely nasty cold. So, we suggest you bring winter trekking gear along with you.

Besides this, you need to separate extra days to accomplish the Everest Base Camp Trek during the winter season. It is because, sometimes you might be stuck because of the bad weather and have to hold on for an extra day to wait for the clear and good weather. During this season solo trekking is risky because the trail in the high Himalayas is covered with snow and lodges remain closed in some places. This might be the cause of problem for you for spending your night.

Temperature is declining at the freezing point around the range of 4 degrees during days and will be – 20 at night. Snowfalls often occur and the track gets full of snow. Apart from this, you may need to extra day for normal hiking. Due to the extreme cold fewer hikers will prefer trekking this month and will meet fewer people on the trail as well and most of the tea houses remain close to the high-altitude area. Villagers transfer to lower places or the cities to skip nasty cold weather. So, we advise good preparation for Everest Base Camp Trek in the month of January with sufficient hiking gear.

February is the last month of the winter season that welcomes the spring as well. The second half of the month remains chilly and only a few trekkers do the trekking in Nepal as it is still off-season for trekking in Nepal.

At the Everest Base Camp, the temperature is adjustable including super views while you can hike in comfort as the snow begins to melt. The tea houses are beginning to open and you may encounter more trekkers on the way at the end of February. The days become sunny, bright, and clear and there will be a high visibility level that will allow you to experience jaw-dropping views of the magnificent mountains and low-level geography.

The theme of the post
The post is purely meant to provide clear information about the weather conditions of the Everest Base Camp Trekking trail. Everest Base Camp Trek can be done all over the year but we need to use the right trekking gear at the right place and in the preferred months and it is also challenging in terms and time and weather of the Himalayan region. During the summertime, there will be rain at the lower place of the Everest region, and at the elevated areas from Namche Bazaar, the possibility of precipitation is very low.

However, during the monsoon season, the Himalayas are covered with heavy snowfall around the Himalayas of Nepal but still, we will be able to hike up to Everest Base Camp. If you are keen to explore the combinations of greenery and white snowcapped mountains with clear skies then the autumn season is the best for you while the spring season combined with the coverlet of rhododendron flowers in the base and the mountain with silver shining icefalls. These two seasons is the perfect time to do trekking and touring in Nepal as spring includes (March, April, and May) and autumn includes (September, October, and November). Furthermore, we have different Everest Base Camp Trekking packages which depend on your interest and choice as per the timeframe.

Spring and autumn are the most prominent seasons for trekking and expeditions. But the weather in the Himalayas is frequently changed and quite unpredictable. We experienced lots of heavy snowfall and rain even in the best seasons also. But it is not the meat that you need to worry about and Everest Base Camp trek is challenging and you need to prepare physically, mentally, and economically and keep your mindset for the anytime changeable weather conditions.
