Everest view trek experience differs on the time you choose. There are 4 trekking seasons in Nepal to explore the Himalayas, and each of them is different. With your time and choice, you can choose the season you want, and here is what each season lookks a like
Spring season
The second best season for trekking in Nepal. This is a very nice time to trek in Nepal. The weather is very nice, and the sky is usually very clear in the morning. In the evening and afternoon, you may see overcast in the sky always. On the hiking trails, you can see rhododendron flowers increase the beauty of nature and make the trek more interesting. There is no problem with the flight this season.
Autumn season
Known as the best season of a trek for Nepal, you can trek anywhere in Nepal at this time. There is no problem with the weather. The weather at this time is neither hot nor cold. This is also the festival time of Nepal. The countryside is very nice with the rice fields, and people celebrate the two biggest festivals in Nepal. You can do any activities this time, and we suggest that this is the best time to visit Nepal, not only for the Everest panorama Trek.
Monsoon season
It is not recommended to trek in this season. Due to the rainfall, the sky is not clear; even if the sky is clear, sometimes it is only for a very short time. Floods and landslides are major problems to trek and also there would be so many leeches while you trek.
Winter season
The coldest season of the year. Trekking is not preferred in this season, although this trek is still possible without any risk. Snowfall is very common in the high Himalayas. The weather is not very clear. The flight may be cancelled due to the bad weather, but you may try your luck, and many people still do this trek in winter.
