Spring:
For climbing the Everest High Passes, spring is generally considered to be the best time of year. The weather is usually consistent throughout this period, with daily highs in the lower altitudes of 10°C to 15°C (50°F to 59°F). The pathways become easier to access and more comfortable for hikers to follow when the snow starts to melt. With rhododendrons and other wildflowers blooming and casting brilliant hues against the backdrop of snow-capped peaks, this season is known for its breathtaking natural beauty. The trails are more busy than they are during other seasons, yet there is still a vibrant environment due to the moderate amount of visitor traffic. The clearest views of the magnificent mountains are available in the spring, which makes it the perfect season for adventure and photography.

Autumn:
With its beautiful sky and consistent weather, autumn is another well-liked season for hiking in the Everest area. This time of year brings with it colder temperatures, usually between 5°C and 15°C (41°F and 59°F) during the day and even lower at night. After the monsoon, the paths are usually well-maintained, providing for a pleasant trekking experience. Trekkers will find themselves in a magnificent location with the clear air and stunning views of the snow-capped mountains, including Everest and its surrounding summits. Trekkers and adventure seekers go in greater numbers to October, which is a particularly popular month. The opportunity to see breathtaking fall foliage at this season adds to the landscape’s inherent beauty.
