Trekking to Mount Everest base camp in Nepal Himalayas, the main trek season is from September to June when daytime temperatures at most altitudes are generally comfortable for walking, the sky is very clear most of the time, and rain and snow are occasional occurrences.

In the daytime temperatures will vary from 15ºC to 35ºC in the capital city of Nepal- Kathmandu valley to around 10ºC at 3,600m and progressively lower the higher we go. Different seasons offer different advantages for trekking, climbing, and hiking.

Post Monsoon | Autumn Mid-September to November:
These months are the main trekking season in Everest trekking in Nepal, the day temperatures in Kathmandu are approximately above 20ºC. Skies are usually clear and days on the trek are sunny and have mild clear mountain views. The night will be colder with temperatures dropping as low as minus 10ºC at the highest altitudes area.

My Dream to Everest Base Camp

It was my dream to do trekking in Nepal- Everest base camp for a long time but never get a chance to look up the even ebc trek itinerary due to busy work but last winter, everything worked for me! I’m so glad that I received a 15-day vacation from my work then decided visit to Nepal for the Everest Base camp trek. I knew that 15 day holiday would not be enough to see and visit everywhere but my first priority paces to go to Nepal only to do the Everest trekking as well as Nepal’s mountains are not easy for beginners but I had enough power from Australian food with good health then I found Nepal Spirit Adventure’s 12 days Everest base camp short trek is perfect itinerary work to me because of my vacation. I started very short text inquiry to them, within an hour’s I got very rapid response my email by Ram Thapa Magar inclusive very helpful information even he advised to do some training such as morning walk, cycling with physical stamina but I did not have that much time and I said I’m a fit for high altitude trek then decided put 20% trip advance deposit payment for my secure trip booking with them via online payment which I liked very much because I did not require to go to the bank, they have very good facilities online payment through Visa, MasterCard. When I arrived in Nepal, Kathmandu airport NSA was warmly welcomed to me and other groups. They have well manage the transfer to the hotel at Thamel booked by Nepal Spirit Adventure as per my trip itinerary, hotel was a perfect need and clean where we met Mr. Ram, he briefed about the trip together with other people who came from the UK I was group joined person. The next day we got on the flight to Lukla. It was frightening but worth an adventurous experience. Our guide Bisal amazed us with his knowledge about the mountains. He always made sure we were comfortable on the trek and never rushed our journey every day and suggested walk slowly which is a very good point and we were more conscious about getting high altitude sickness but he shared many helpful tips to avoid altitude mountain sickness. Our porter Naina, Bikas, and Sures were so friendly and strong, every day along the trek we did not have to wait for our luggage before we arrived at the tea house bags was at the room which is also well managed by the NSA team I was so lucky and we are thrilled I choose Nepal spirit adventure and have Bisal for our trek. If it were not for NSA, I would not able to experience the trek’s beautiful features. I am so satisfied and thankful to Ram, Nepal spirit adventure for arranging this wonderful and unique. All the credits go to your fantastic team for our wonderful Everest base camp trekking experience in the Himalayas. Definitely, I will revisit Nepal for another adventure trip to the Annapurna region with you guys.

Great Experience Trek to Everest Base Camp

The team NSA provided the best possible service along my Everest base camp trek, including arrival international airport pick up and final departure. Your team looked after us incredibly well. Our trek guide Tony is amazing to experience great mountain guide, he was an expert in all the aspects of our trip to ebc, managing both our health and safety on the mountain with assurance and ability to make us feel at ease that everything would be fine and always sharing good information about the mountain, people, culture and altitude sickness. He’s an actual asset to your team and I personally would not have reached my dream of Everest base camp without him… he was there every walking minute for us and that contribution should not be underestimated, None of our ‘team’ got sick, and this is because of the great team you have looking after us, food, water, advice were all 100% clean and hygienic nothing was too much trouble for these hard-working people, all Sherpa porters were perfect with strong enough to carry our gear. The company owner Ram Magar had incredible experience because personally, he did this Mt. Everest base camp trek much time while he was a trekking guide in Nepal; his email answer was so fast and very much addressing my ebc trek question and concerns even he was asking every day with his guide about our group's situation it was another highlight along with our hike, so we all satisfied with wonderful service from Nepal Spirit Adventure and I’m so glad we booked with them, and should I do another trekking-hiking challenge in future I’ll never go with any other company but yourselves.
