As the weather is unpredictable to everyone and anywhere in the world, but as our past experience has shown, autumn from mid-September to the ends of November and December is the best time for trekking in Nepal in 2025 and 2026.

Autumn season, also known as the festive season of Nepal, is where you may encounter the biggest festival of Nepal if you come in the right time of festival, namely called Dashain and Tihar, which starts from mid-October to mid-November, but some time festival time can be changed as it depends on the calendar schedule. During the festival time, if you are interested in getting involved with the local families or friends and celebrating the local festival, you will have another experience with the traditional Nepalese festival. The season why autumn is the best month to travel Nepal for adventure lovers from around the globe. We always invite you to make your holiday plan for the autumn season for the best view and less worry about the weather. Our goal is to show you the best part of Nepal with the clear weather and experience the unique culture and landscapes of Nepal during your stay in Nepal.

Spring season: March, April and May

The spring season starts in March, April, and May; it is the second biggest season after the autumn season with the clear weather, sunshine, blue skies, warm temperature, and no rain. Which will give you the best offer to capture amazing photos, videos, etc. The spring season starts after the winter season ends in Nepal and before the monsoon starts. Beginning of the spring season, like March, could be still snowing and mud on the trail as we just crossed the winter known as the snowing time in Nepal, and April-May is more warmer and stayable weather, which is the most crowded and most selected months of trekking Nepal in the spring season. Due to the warm temperature and reasonable weather, most of the big expeditions and mountain summits are organizing in this season, including the Mt. Everest expedition every year.

Spring is known as the best season for blooming the different types of flowers and coming out the new seeds from lush forests to big alpine trees in the Himalaya. At the mean time, we can encounter different species of birds as they get more food from trees, wildlife, flora, and many more, especially the blooming rhododendron flowers surrounded the hills, and the background is white-show mountains, which will give you the perfect views of nature combination. Trekking to places like Poohill and Annapurna Basecamp, Everest Base Camp Trek, Manasalu Circuit Trek, Kanchenjunga Trek, Makalu Base Camp Trek, and Mardi Himal Trek, especially you will meet the blooming trees, including the Nepalese national flower tree called rodhodendrone in mountains in the spring season.
Combine the autumn and spring seasons in Nepal; both offer the pleasant weather for adventure trekking, mountain climbing, and small tours for Nepal lovers, as it starts with sunny days and no rain. But if I suggest one season compared with both, autumn is the best for photography and more clear views in the distance as there is less fog and clouds and great scenery of green pady rice and farmlands. Spring is popular to see the blooming flowers near mountains, encounter the wild animals, and meet with the different spices of birds as the new season starts and best views of mountains in distance. Both seasons invite you to Nepal to explore the mesmerizing trekking and climbing experience in Nepal for adventure lovers. As per your schedule, you can make a plan to visit Nepal in 2025 and 2026. We are happy to help you as your friend.

But still, in monsoon season, here are some trekking routes with less rain in Nepal and no worry about the weather: Recommended monsoon trekking routes are the Upper Mustang Trek, the Upper and Lower Dolpa Trek, and the Nar-Phu Trek.

The highest trekking route in the world, without such dislike, is the Everest Base Camp (EBC), which is extremely popular across every country and continent. However, the last uncertainty that remains is whether the trek to Everest base camp is difficult or not.

This is one concern that is worth thinking about before heading on this amazing journey, especially for first-timers. Maybe this is also a very useful and thorough guide related to the Everest Base Camp trek and its challenges and presents several recommendations for optimizing the success of the journey.

Overview of the Everest Base Camp Trek

The Trek to Everest Base Camp lets the traveler relish the warm hospitality of the local people and astonishing views of the Himalayan Range. After taking off from Kathmandu and absorbing quite the scenery in the process, the trek’s first step, which is from Lukla to Phakding, begins with a flight to a tiny mountain strip airport located at Lukla.

Trekkers begin their trek from Lukla and pass through many Sherpa settlements namely Phakding, Namche Bazaar, and Tengboche, all of which are culturally significant in some sense. You will see several other Tibetan cultural references including Buddhist stupas, prayer flags, and Sherpa-style houses.

The same hike leads further into the wooded areas characterized by rhododendrons and conifer trees, which from time to time shift. When trekkers have gained some altitude, then they will see not only alpine fields but also desolate rocky outcrops.

The path comes with a series of challenges that are a bit aggravating at times and consist of steep climbs and steep drop-offs, muddy treks, and rope bridges. But one thing is for sure, the trek does not entail climbing over rocks for the better part of the day but remains physically tiring owing to high positions, bad conditions, and strange new places.

Trekkers believe that Everest Base Camp is worth every effort since one gets an exclusive opportunity to be on the base of the world’s largest mountain crown surrounded by other magnificent mountains like Pumori, Nuptse, etc. Normally, it takes a span of 12 to 14 days to complete a typical trek, as there are additional rest days to help the trekkers acclimatize to lower atmospheric pressure levels and avoid mountain sickness.

With the introduction of such a pace, the trek becomes treble easier for most people especially those who have never hiked before, however well trained physically and mentally one still needs to be fit. Anyway, the Everest Base Camp Trekking is one of the most exciting if not the most thrilling challenges to be done in the Himalayas.

It would appeal to people who have a zest for pushing their boundaries and coupled with the breathtaking views of the Himalayas, it becomes the perfect trek. It would be no less memorable either from getting to the base camp with its inherent frisson or from the great panoramic perspective that the trail offers.

Is The Everest Base Camp Trek Difficult? Discuss Some Key Reasons

Because Mt. Everest is located within this region, it is often referred to as one of the most popular trekking or mountaineering trails as the Everest Base Camp (EBC) trek is described as an exceptional experience, falling within a select group of locations.

It would, however, be quite insolent not to comment on the fact that the stunning scenery of the eastern Himalayas offered in this trek comes with difficulties and one of the common questions that tends to come to mind is: Is the Everest Base Camp trek difficult for beginners?

The physical fitness level, the time acclimatized and other environmental conditions may also influence the perceived difficulty level of the Everest Base Camp. In this thorough guide, we shall elaborate on these elements further, providing readers exposure to the barriers that are present in the trek and more importantly, how to overcome them.

Physical demands also include fatiguing walk days where one would have to walk on a steep incline and rocky paths. The weather cannot be predicted, with the presence of cold temperatures, snow, and harsh winds.

One also needs to have strong mental endurance since trekkers are bound to get exhausted and be cut off from the rest of the world in quite a distressing environment. With suspension bridges, and loose rocks embedded into the pathway, the rough terrain was bound to increase the chances of injuries.

The lack of proper medical facilities and emergency assistance only makes the trek more challenging and tedious. Adequate preparation is a requisite. The difficulty of the Everest Base Camp trek can be ascertained concerning different aspects:

Altitude and Acclimatization

One of the most obvious and sometimes perilous difficulties of the Everest Base Camp trek is its altitude. The trek takes one to places that are well above the natural sea level of any average human being, and high-altitude illnesses are a real threat.

The base camp is at an elevation of 5,364meters (17,598ft) and trekkers move up to this elevation in several steps, including Namche Bazaar at 3,440 meters (11,286) and Dingboche at 4,410 meters (14,469 feet).

At high altitudes, the air contains less oxygen, which brings about symptoms relating to the high-altitude sickness that include headaches, dizziness, and nausea. To prevent these complaints, appropriate time for acclimatization is important.

Part of the standard trekking itinerary includes rest days and this is particularly at strategic positions such as Namche Bazaar or Dingboche where a person is likely to go up and then come down a little to assist in body acclimatization.

It must be noted that while altitude sickness is universal and it is very hard to escape from its clutches, the degree of its effects varies in individuals, those who don’t take proper acclimatization and quickly strain their bodies sufficiently without any limits seem to react much stronger.

It is wise for those beginners to be ready to take their time and rather have steady controlled movements to allow their bodies to adjust.

Physical Fitness

Advanced mountaineering skills that are required for the safety of the participant are not needed for the mountain Everest Base Camp trek making it suitable for the majority of the public. However, the physical fitness of the body is required.

Participants are expected to walk for around 8 hours cumulatively. It also requires other sorts of activities that include uphill climbing. As the altitude increases there is a high likelihood of very steep inclines with not much flexible on the paths to assist the trekkers out.

Beginners wishing to take the trek are advised to prepare themselves by doing proper exercise which can lead to the development of stamina and bulk in the legs. Developing cardiovascular fitness may include hiking, cycling, jogging, or even running.

Strengthening leg muscles through vigorous squatting or lunging may also help as steep climbs may be frequent during the hike. Even those who have been hiking for a long time will have to struggle at times during this trek and due to the exhaustion of repetitive physical activities, one may not also be able to resist breaks.

With increased altitude, there may be feelings of dehydration and fatigue that are easily observed so taking breaks and water is perhaps the best decision in case it happens.

Weather Conditions

Perhaps more frustrating than the effort themselves is the fact that the weather can change very rapidly in the region of Mount Everest. This is endemic to the Himalayan region and is more pronounced during the trek itself. Even the best times which is likely during spring and autumn have still very low temperatures, especially during the nights.

The weather can also be a limiting factor in time of visibility, especially during greater heights, as fog and snowstorms are prevalent on the terrain. The winter season is marked by heavy snowfalls and turbulent blizzards, both of which can make the hike more strenuous.

Such hiker newbies will have to adjust to changing weather and will need to take appropriate warm and cold clothing with them. Also, it is important to determine the appropriate period for the trekking.

March to May and the months between September and November are the ideal months since they provide a good climate, clear skies, and warmer temperatures. One should not go for the treks between June and August as there are heavy chances of land sliding and the trails get quite slippery.

The Terrain and Trail Conditions

The topography around the trek of Everest Base Camp is quite complex as there are a lot of areas which are mostly rocky paths or even stone stairs along with forested areas and several areas of suspension that are bridges crossing riverbanks.

The more a person climbs to higher altitudes, the more difficult it becomes to hike the hegemonic trails as they are tight and situated on cliffs. In some parts of the route, trekkers are required to pass through loose rocks or dirt, and in all these cases the weather affects how easy the trek will be especially when it is wet.

One can also see various settlements, monasteries, and Buddhist shrines along the way, integrating the physical challenges with a cultural aspect. This is because, although the trail is marked in most instances, landslips or trees that have fallen across the path may give trekkers a hard time making them improvise and move on.

Those setting out for the first time will have to contend with difficult scenery on the trek both physically and psychologically.

Mental Endurance

The Everest Base Camp trek is accompanied by a mental burden that is enormous and should never be underestimated. Because of the thin air combined with exhausting efforts complemented by the ever-changing weather a person is bound to become mentally exhausted.

The distance that is still available to be covered and the compulsion of the trekker to keep moving the whole time can at some periods lead to annoyance or demoralization. It is important to emphasize that one should be strong and think positively through the course of the Odyssey.

Setting Everest Base Camp as a goal, anticipating the breathtaking views, and the small achievements that make such achievements closer will help to stay focused. Trekking with a guide or as part of a group can also assist in morale as they tend to lift the spirit whenever things get tough.

Injury Risks and Physical Strain

The injuries’ risk is also heightened by physical exertion during the Everest Base Camp trek. These include hours of exertive walking amid irregular ground causing strain in joints muscle exhaustion and blisters.

The chances of slipping or tripping get increased due to rapid climbs and descents along uneven rocky ways. Trekking enthusiasts should ensure that they have the right trekking shoes have well-formed ankle supports, utilize trekking sticks, and are very alert in areas where loose fine stones or mud are bound to be present.

Stretching regularly and resting tired muscles increases the risk of injury further down.

Limited Access to Medical Assistance

There is a serious shortage of health centers in both rural and urban areas bordering the Everest Base Camp trek. This trek connects several settlements with little or no medical services in place.

As for the sense of injury or sickness, the retrieval processes may take some time even involving scenes with a helicopter that usually comes at an expensive cost. Proper insurance coverage and the necessity of first-aid essentials while trekking the mountain terrain are of utmost importance.

Once again, travelers should be knowledgeable about the apart from the provision of professional medical help in the waiting room and the clinics, there are additional precautions that can be performed by the travelers themselves to overcome minor injuries or symptoms of high-altitude sickness.

High Crowds During Peak Seasons

Despite the fact the Everest mountain region has many beautiful places to live and visit, heading on the base camp trek is an awe-inspiring thing to do and does come with its challenges as well, it is however, and most importantly a well-trodden path.

Under normal circumstances, the spring months of spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November) peak seasons can become busy on the trails for instance near the ever-famous stations like Namche Bazaar and Tengboche.

The extra foot traffic can also make the journey more challenging, especially when in tight sceneries and having to give way to other tourist trekkers. With increased traffic, others might have to wait longer to be serviced or to receive accommodation which further increases their physical and mental exhaustion for the trip.

It is, therefore, important to be mentally prepared for a busy period and probably a more difficult experience than you would anticipate at other times of the year.

The Final Wrap Up

Indeed, the Everest Base Camp trek is treacherous, especially to the trekkers. However, with adequate preparation and the right attitude, it is achievable. The trek in addition to its challenges provides the opportunity of a lifetime with unbelievable views, cultural experiences, and the reward that comes from reaching one of the most famous positions on earth.

Through consistent physical training, appropriate timing for acclimatization, and appropriate gear packing, even the most inexperienced trekkers should be able to complete the Everest base camp trek and go through a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

How much it costs for hiring a helper (Porter) and horse for kailash Parikrama 

Hire a horse and helper (porter)  for kailash parikrama based on per day charge and it is organized by the local Tibetans who have  lived around for many years already. We can’t hire an individual horse or helper (porter) . We should go through the organization and this will be managed by our Tibet side guide as they will have easy communication through local dialogue. 

Yamadawar ( Tarbuche)  is the place where we get horses and helpers after a 5 km drive from Darchen on the 1st day of your parikrama. You have to let us know in advance to book the horse or porter. In the high pickup season they are very busy and sometimes you can’t get a horse or helper if you don’t book an advance. 

If you are doing 4 days parikrama including the CharanSparsa , and north face  touch you have to hire for 4 days and if you are only doing the out Kora without doing inner north face then you can only hire for 3 days. Doing a north face – Charan Spursha is not easy as out kora because inner hikes are more challenging and adventures as the terrain and landscape is more steep ascends and before reaching  near

Mt. Holy Kailash you have to walk on top of the ice, glacier and slippery and rock fall down from Mt kailash. The reason being  that more adventure challenging hikes demand  more preparation mentally and physically for those people who want to do this part of the hike. Advantage of doing the inner north face hikes  gives the opportunity to touch the Kailash with surrounding views and reach CharanSpursha and pray puja in distance. 

Some people hire a horse and helper during Mt. Kailash Parikrama and some doesn’t. It is not compulsory to hire a horse or porter  if you are fit and fine physically and mentally for this hike by yourself, but as it is a higher section of the yatra and due to the higher  elevation it can always be a challenging walk for you or especially for the older travelers. Hire a horse and helper will be the  alternative option for you at that time if you couldn’t walk or feel weak. You can’t get horse or porter from day 2nd or day 3rd as the yatra paths is goes more in remote region where there is not available any those facilites. If anyone needs it , you have to let your leader at least a few days earlier from your starting day of kailash parikrama.

Sometimes you can hire a horse from Dirapuk to top of the Dolma La pass only on the 3rd day but it is not guaranteed as the remote and horse are not enough available and also expensive. 

If you are prepared at least from last 4-5 months prior from your yatra begins date with basic exercise like every day  walk 5 -10km  , Join a Yoga class,  short run, go for a day hikes and do the cardio vascular training etc can build your strong stamina which will help you for completing the yatra and you may also no need horse or helper.

Here is the rough cost idea  for hire a horse and helper during the parikrama 

Service	Cost (Chinese Yuan)
Hire a Horse and Horseman (per day)	800
Helper (Porter) (per day)	380 – 400
Horse from Dirapuk to top of Dolma La Pass	1100 – 1150

Above mentioned  cost is from 2023/2024, but  in 2025 and 2026 cost can be changed more or less.

Eachday offers its own rewards . The region’s rich Tibetan Buddhist culture is a cornerstone of the experience. Prayer flags flutter in the wind, and every settlement is adorned with chortens and mani walls carved with sacred inscriptions. One of the trek’s cultural highlight is the Tiji Festivals, held annually in Lo Manthang. This three-day ritual reenacts the myth of a deity banishing demons, accompanied by colorful dances and dramatic performance.

As the restricted area, Upper Mustang requires a permit and a mandatory guide which you don’t need to worry we will arrange everything. Upper Mustang can be done anytime of the year however spring and the autumn is considered as the best season.
