Best Seasons for Everest Base Camp Luxury Trek

The best time to trek to Everest Base Camp would be either in autumn or in the spring season. Autumn stretching from mid-September to mid-December offers some incredible views during the trek, the air is nice and cool and the sky is as clear as can be ideal for mountain views. During the spring season which goes from March to May, the weather is a lot warmer and the days are sunny.

While the route to Everest Base Camp can be done all year long, Alpine Eco Trek recommends either booking during the autumn or spring seasons. Trekkers who would like to come during the summer, June to July will face heavy downpours of rain.

The winter season starting in December and ending in February is also a good time to trek to Everest Base Camp the weather will be cold and snow blizzards can occur blocking the view, but non the less an adventure in itself. The autumn and spring seasons are considered the high seasons and trekking trails can get packed, while there is safety in numbers for those who like to enjoy more privacy and nature we do recommend coming in the winter or the early summer.

Acclimatization during Everest Base Camp Luxury Tour

With the high altitude, trekking comes also acclimatization. During Alpine Eco Trek’s Everest Base Camp Luxury trek of 18 days, a carefully planned itinerary is organized with the necessary acclimatization days planned. As you trek above 5000m the oxygen becomes less and it’s crucial to take the proper steps to avoid AMS, Acute Mountain Sickness. AMS is not to take lightly as there are cases where it ended up in serious illness and in some cases even death. Trekkers with previous lung or heart diseases are recommended to discuss our itinerary with your doctor before departing or even booking this trek.

Prevention is better than cure as they say, and with Alpine Eco trek your safety is our main priority during any type of trek in Nepal. Common symptoms of AMS are frequent fatigue, stomach pains, lightheadedness, loss of appetite, and fever. Our guides are professionally trained to deal with AMS but they are not doctors as so during the trek if you might feel any of these symptoms you are required to report to your trekking guide so that they may take the necessary steps to help you further acclimatize and successfully finish your trek.
