Best Time for Everest Panorama Trek

You need to plot the voyage of Everest Panorama Trek at the right timing. For that, you got two most suitable times: Autumn and Spring. As you have to experience the beauty of the right place at the right time. These two seasons are the best times for Everest Panorama Trek.

To start with Autumn, the season starts in September and lasts until late November. It is a peak season for trekking in Nepal. People seem to be attracted by the good climatic conditions of these months. The Autumn is a post-monsoon season, thus, the first few weeks of September can be wet but after that, the region remains completely out of the reach of rainfall. The mountains and landscapes are all crystalline during this season because of Monsoon’s rainfalls. Autumn’s temperature chart also does not fluctuate much. Instead, you’ll feel warm and stable temperatures in these months.

Likewise, Spring is the second most feasible duration for Everest Panorama Trek. March to May is a timeline of the Spring season in Nepal and in this time period trekkers start to flock again. It is the favorable conditions of Spring that lure many people to Nepal for trekking. Sound temperature, sunny and long days, low precipitation level, greenery, and crystal clear mountain views. That is how Spring is another top season for doing Everest Panorama Trek.

However, you can do the trek in the Winter season as well. You just have to be ready to face the extreme cold of the season in the Himalayas. Everest Panorama Trek is a low altitude trek and you can bear the cold of those areas with the right clothing. Pick either the early or late Winter for trekking, the Winter is less active in those periods. But it is too treacherous to trek in Monsoon, the wettest season of all. The trails start to get wet and slippery during the season. There are very high chances of landslides in the Himalayas.
