Best time to Visit Mount Everest

Mount Everest can be visited mainly during two climbing seasons, from April to May and September to October, when weather conditions are relatively stable for trekking and expeditions. The region is otherwise extremely harsh for travel.

Pre-Monsoon (April to May)

This is the best time for Everest expeditions, with temperatures ranging between -15°C and 10°C depending on altitude. Weather windows are more stable, making it ideal for summit attempts and trekking to Everest Base Camp. Clear skies offer excellent mountain views.

Post-Monsoon (September to October)

This is another good time to visit, with temperatures ranging between -10°C and 12°C. The weather becomes clearer after the monsoon, offering good visibility and fewer crowds compared to spring. It is suitable for trekking, though summit attempts are less common than in spring.

Winter (November to February)

Winters are extremely harsh, with temperatures ranging between -30°C and -10°C. Heavy snowfall, strong winds, and extreme cold make climbing nearly impossible. Only highly experienced expeditions attempt travel during this period.

Monsoon (June to August)

The monsoon season brings heavy snowfall and cloud cover at higher altitudes, with temperatures ranging between -5°C and 10°C. Visibility is poor, and climbing conditions are unsafe, making this period unsuitable for expeditions.
