Best Seasons for Everest Panorama Trekking
Everest Panorama Trek for nearly all months of the year, however best time is from March to May in the spring season and with mid-September till December months during autumn and pre-winter season.
March to May is lovely with enough day lights and sunshine when high hills with forests of tall trees and bushes of rhododendron will be in full bloom with other wildflowers, making this trek more interesting and special.
Most days are clear from morning till late afternoon and can get cloudy sometimes with a chance of snows around higher elevations and cold in the morning and nighttime (not adding extra wind-chill factors).
Mid-September to December during the autumn/fall season is best for trekking, where most days are crystal clear from morning till mid-afternoon but with short daylights, much colder and freezing temperatures in the morning and night as well in shades, away from sunlight (not adding extra wind-chill factors).
Some people might be interested in trekking during the low season of wet monsoon times; most days are cloudy that obstructs views of peaks, encounter less and few numbers of trekkers during the rainy season of Mid June till Mid-September, but very lush and green with enough moisture that supports more oxygen to help acclimatization, days are longer with sunlight due to summer and monsoon season around Nepal and other Himalayan destinations much warmer than other seasons of spring and autumn.
Local Culture and Religion In Everest Region
Sherpas are the natives of Everest and other higher Himalayan regions; the word Sherpa comes from the Tibetan language as East for Sher and Pa means people; where Sherpa migrated around high Himalaya of Nepal around the Mid-East and Far Eastern Himalaya range from Eastern parts of Tibet.
Way back more than 400 years of history, the Sherpa normally are farmers and livestock herdings like cows and yaks interwoven with strong Buddhist religion and fascinating cultures that you can witness walking around villages.
In every Sherpa village, one can find a monastery, some are older by more than 500 years like the monastery of Thame and Pangboche villages, where the famous monastery of Thyangboche was much older and was destroyed by a huge fire in 1991 and built its original shapes.
As you walk from one village to another where you will come across many prayer walls and religious monuments of Stupas (domes), with rows of spinning prayer wheels.
Sherpa men-folks were earlier pioneers as mountain and trekking guides and still hold the post to the present.
Accommodation in Ramechap Manthali Town
Hotels and local lodges are not up to the standard of tourist class, very basic and simply suitable for local travelers only, whereas trekkers for flights to Lukla sometimes have to bear with us if staying overnight at Manthali for a flight to Lukla or on the way back to Kathmandu.
The other option will be driving early morning by 2 a.m. in the dark to arrive on time for flight departure for Lukla.
Flying back from Lukla time permitting (during morning and mid-day) can travel back to Kathmandu on time.
Please bear with us for the above sudden change of notice flight to Lukla instead from Kathmandu domestic airport will be from Manthali airport, Ramechap which will continue till the near future.
Important to know that all trekkers flying in and out of Lukla require a minimum of two days extra from the standard itinerary provided, to cope with the present situation regarding the change of airport for flights to Lukla or towards other mountain destinations.
Climate and Weather during the Everest View Trek
The Himalayan climate and weather can be unpredictable sometimes, even in the best seasons. April and May to the first week of June are the best spring months when days are longer, and there are enough sunlight hours.
Morning and night time, as well as in the shade, can be cold and much freezing temperatures around higher areas above 3,000 m.
Other months from September to November are another great time for treks around Kanchenjunga base camp and other areas of the Himalayas, when days are clear for views and to summit the top of the peak, although much colder months of the autumn season with extremely cold during morning and night time, where sunlight is much shorter.
