When is the best time for Everest Panorama Trek?

The best time for Everest Panorama Trek is Spring and Autumn when the colorful wildflowers and trees provide a wonderful view. They both offer mild weather to visitors and make it comfortable trekking. In fact, it turns out that the fall season is a real crowd-pleaser.

It fascinates travelers with the breathtaking scenery of glistening mountains and colorful autumn leaves. Adding up to the beauty are sweeping landscapes and steep-sided valleys, which can be easily seen in the beautiful weather of Autumn.

The average temperature of Khumbu ranges from -6 to 12 Degree Celsius during the season. So, even though Autumn has warm days, its nights can be extremely cold. Also, this is the season of festivals so whoever visits Everest during the time gets to explore different cultures and partake in their festivals.

It’s crowded and slightly chaotic but from the weather perspective, Spring is the perfect time to visit Everest Panorama. It has the most beautiful weather with warm sunshine and a clear blue sky except in the early season.

The weather is usually great and sunny. There is hardly any fog and mist hiding around the mountain, so it won’t be that tough for trekkers to click the shot of Everest and its surrounding snow peaks.

Khumbu is normally cold in early spring, with temperatures dropping below -12 Degree Celsius. But, from the beginning of April, the weather gets better as temperatures rise to 15 Degree Celsius. The views are pretty incredible in Spring, with delicate blooming flowers, green terrace farms, and lush meadows.

During spring, days are sunnier and joyful. But as soon as the sun sets, the temperature in the mountain starts to fall, making the weather cold and frosty. Since it’s peak trekking season, you can expect the main EBC trail to be more crowded and busier in the season.

Winters are generally cold and bitter in Everest, while the summers are hot. The weather in Monsoon is moderate, but there’s a continuous drizzle. Trekkers will encounter wet trails, which are difficult to tackle.

The extreme heat and long walks of Summer can easily outwear hikers. It also causes fatigue and puts strain on hikers. Winter doesn’t bless the hikers with a pleasant climate either. It’s crisp and typically wintry, which creates difficulties for travelers.
