If you are planning for Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Lake Trekking and are after a quick answer on
when to trek, well, the answer is: Spring and autumn. However there is no absolute best time for
everyone; your experience will depend on how you feel about the crowds, how high you are intending
to trek and your tolerance for heat, cold and rain. Each season in Everest is unique and has its own pros
and cons.
Weather in spring (March – May) and autumn (September – November) tends to be mild with clear
blue sky and outstanding views. But nights get bit chilly at higher elevation: better to pack warm clothes.
Monsoon (Jun – August) receives heavy downpours in Nepal inviting the potential risks of flood and
landslide at lower elevation and avalanches at higher elevation. The rainfall makes trekkers difficult to
have a quality adventure as the trails are wet, muddy and slippery. But it might be real boon for
keen botanist as the entire region is endowed with greenery and lushness.
Likewise,
Winter (December – February) is extremely cold in Everest (sometimes it even drops to -15
degree Celsius) and tea houses on Gokyo – Chola Pass – Everest trail might get closed due to heavy snowfall. If you want to explore mountain at its best and walk on solitary trail; then winter is perfect season for you. Better check the availability of tea house at higher reaches and consult local before
attempting Cho La Pass.
Trekking difficulties are usually measured via altitude, geo-structure and duration of the trekking.Everest Base Camp and Gokyo Lake Trek comprises high altitude trek with a walk on uneven part ofEarth for several days. Therefore it is highly challenging and needs good fitness with endurance capacity.
Kathmandu is at 1,300m and you will reach above 5,000m at different point of trek. Throughout the trek, you will rise 500m – 700m altitude walking 6 to 8 hours each day. If you are not seasonal trekker, it can be very to your body to adopt the thin atmosphere (due to increased elevation). Always acclimatize your body and walk on slow pace to adjust your body at high elevation.
The unpredictable weather of Everest region is one of the most crucial factors than make your trek even more taxing. Always check the weather and consult local before heading for Cho La Pass. A well-experienced guide is always helpful.
