What is the best season for trekking in Nepal?

Well, Nepal have four good seasons in a year namely Spring (Mid Feb to May), Summer and Monsoon (rainy wet months) from mid June last till mid September, with Autumn / Falls from mid September till November months, and Winter months from December till mid February. Trekking can be of few days to more than a month too. So, if you are looking for trekking in Nepal then choice is yours when to start your trek. If you are planning for short trekking and especially a moderate trekking for few days to a week then you can do it nearly all months of the year. But you should avoid monsoon that means months of July to August. For adventurous and longer trekking which lasts from a week to months and involves high passes, you need to be little aware. These long trekking need more fitness and awareness because they can be little tricky and difficult. So, picking these trek-kings and picking best time of the year to do these trekking matter most for safety trekking. So, March to May and September till December is the best time for doing adventurous trekking in Nepal.

How cold will be trekking and will it be sunny or not?

It depends on which trekking region and which destination you are picking. Well, most of the days in trekking seasons are sunny with bright sunlight till afternoon time. But be aware, Himalayan weather sometimes can be unpredictable and can get overcast with snow and rains with hailstorms on higher areas of Himalaya. However, during March to May most of the days will be sunny. As your reach higher area it can get cloudy in the afternoon bringing chill and cold wind. Morning and night time will be much cooler around march to may at above 2,000 m. While in moths of September to early December day will be clear with sunshine.

Do all trekking areas have good connection to cell or land line phones?

Everest Base Camp Trek Cost

One frequently asked question is about the Everest Base Camp Trek cost. Many people want to know about the cost of the trek. So the price depends on several things. You can do the EBC trek two ways through a trekking agency or yourself.

The trek can be economical if you do a solo trek by yourself. However, that takes a lot of effort. You must arrange everything from permits, tickets, and accommodation to meals. Yes, this is a budget traveling option. But you need to be ready to do all the things by yourself. You have to do bargaining with the teahouse owners, arrange meals, navigate your way, and more. If you are up for this challenge, you can solo trek and save money.

We guess that type of traveling is not everyone’s cup of tea. That is full of hassles. Traveling to a foreign region all by yourself is not an easy task. That is where the licensed local trekking agency comes in handy. The Everest Base Camp Trek cost with the agency is already fixed. In our case, the short Everest Base Camp Trek 10 days cost USD 1050 per person. However, there are plenty of international and local agencies charging more.

The cost will cover various tour expenses from arrival to departure. All the basic trek expenses are included. Our team is full of experience and value. Our package cost is fair and reasonable. You can check what is included and what is not in the charge for more details above. We believe in the best service as per the price.

Overall, the Everest Base Camp Trek cost depends on timing and your spending habits. If it’s the peak season for the trek, the price can go for various reasons and vice versa. Similarly, the cost can go up if you like to spend more. For an economic EBC trek, you can remember us. We have been offering the best price.

Children on Short Everest Base Camp Trek

As said earlier, this short EBC Trek is only for strict and experienced trekkers. This EBC itinerary has no rest or acclimatization day. It is just a quick way of reaching the base camp of Mt Everest. We believe it takes great experience and preparation to do this short version of the Everest Base Camp Trek.

Water on Short Everest Base Camp Trek

Or you can drink the tap water, which the locals drink, using water purifying tablets. This option is more budget-friendly. Hence, do not forget to bring enough water-purifying tablets.

Shorten the Short Everest Base Camp Trek

Everest Base Camp Helicopter Trek is one good option. In this package, you will add a helicopter return from Kala Patthar and save two days.
