Best Time To Go For Everest View Trek
Spring Season (March to May)
Spring season in Nepal, spanning from March to May, is a beautiful time to do the Everest View Trek because of the wonderful weather, stable trail conditions, and breathtaking natural beauty. In spring, temperatures during the day in low altitudes range from 10 degrees Celsius to 20 degrees Celsius, while higher altitudes experience cooler but manageable temperatures.
Most of the time, the sky is clear, where it is easy to view Everest and other neighboring peaks. Little to no rains occur, which makes the trails completely safe and dry for trekkers. The blooming rhododendrons, which coat the hillsides in rich red, pink, and white hues at springtime, become another memorable part of personality in the Everest region.
Along with that comes fresh green, originating from all those forests, creating a beautiful contrast to the bright snow peaks. It is arguably the most beautiful time for photography and nature enthusiasts as they witness a stunning and colorful transformation across the landscape. Trekkers can witness panoramic views below clear blue skies, which makes the experience even better.
Culturally, it is during spring when most of the biggest Buddhist festivals in Nepal fall, for example, Buddha Jayanti. Along the trail, Sherpa villages burst with activity-making it possible for trekkers to experience different local activities. Visiting ancient monasteries to partake in local celebrations is an emblem of the region’s cultural significance in the spring. This perfect combination of favorable weather and scenic beauty, along with the rich cultural experience, is what really makes spring the most ideal time to trek the Everest View Trek.
Autumn Season (September to November)
Another best time to hike for the Everest View Trek 7 Days is during the Autumn season as it has stable weather and unique visibility at this time. During the day, temperatures at higher altitudes range between 10 and 15 degrees Celsius, while it is much cooler at night-time but tolerable with the right gear. The monsoon rains would have washed the summer dust, leaving sparkling clear skies that present breathtaking views of Everest, Ama Dablam, and other renowned peaks. It has dry and settled weather that makes the trails safe and enjoyable, with very little possibility of rain or snowfalls.
Fresh air and visibility at its best would guarantee your trekking experience comparable to a lifetime adventure in the Himalayas. Trails are well-versed with trekkers from around the world, creating an active and energetic atmosphere. In addition, this season is excellent for capturing picture-perfect images of the mountains and valleys.
Autumn is deeply rooted in culture, quite generally in Nepal, for being the time of major festivals such as Dashain and Tihar. Sherpa villages have festive lights and adornment, creating an ambiance that is warm yet magical to approach. It is possible to trek through such a time in order to observe these festivities while immersing oneself in culture, and it is possible to better understand the local traditions behind the same. The environment one would get during autumn, combined with colorful scenery and cultural festivals, makes nirvana impossible in any trekking experience in the Everest region.
Permits and License required for Everest View Trek
To go for the Everest View Trek 7 Days, one must obtain Sagarmatha National Park Entry Permit. Since this takes into some parts of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Sagarmatha National Park, this permit is essential.
Sagarmatha National Park is a hub of biodiversity and ecosystem. It is home to several flora and fauna, with some of the most endangered animals like Snow Leopard, Blue Sheep, Spiny Babbler, and more.
Before you go on the Everest Base Camp Trek, you can purchase Sagarmatha National Park Entry Permit from Nepal Tourism Board in Kathmandu. The permit costs NPR 3000 for the foreign trekkers while it is NPR 1000 for SAARC Nationals.
Communications and Internet during Everest View Trek
Communication for travelers who wish to stay connected during the Everest View Trek becomes a real concern. Communication services can be found in almost every village along the trekking route, especially at Namche Bazaar. Mobile Networks like Ncell and Nepal Telecom have coverage in most areas. One step before the adventure is to make sure to buy a local SIM card, as that will be able to connect most of the way. Though the availability of services becomes limited or completely cuts off at higher altitudes, one needs to plan accordingly.
Tea houses and lodges also offer Wi-Fi access, usually for some charge. The internet speed is lower than that of urban areas. Moreover, trekkers have the alternative of Everest Link, a prepaid internet service found throughout the trail. It has good coverage with most locations and requires an initial investment for quality service enabling better constant communication with less reliance on individual lodge networks.
While indeed there is some amount of connectivity, it is not such that it can safely be assured for the whole trek. Thus trekkers should download offline maps, important contacts, and any other needed documents beforehand. Modern technology has made communication between people easier, but people should also embrace the possibility of unplugging from all technology and enjoying the heavenly ambience that is the Himalayas.
Hot Drinking Water
Particularly in high altitudes, using hot drinking water becomes an important consideration during the Everest View Trek 7 Days because it mostly helps in hydration. Almost all tea houses and lodges provide hot water on demand, but that comes with extra charges, which also scale with increasing height as pulling water up is a more tedious exercise. It is highly recommended to use a reusable water bottle and keep purifying tablets or cleaners to reduce the dependence on costly bottled water, which is not friendly in terms of the environment.
Drinking hot water keeps the body well hydrated and helps in maintaining body temperature in that cold mountain environment. Proper hydration is one of the preventive measures for altitude sickness, which is found at common altitudes in the Everest area. Consumption of water should average about 3-4 liters of water a day. Access to hot drinking water during meals and stays overnight can bring a difference in peace and comfort. Hence, it is important to plan for hot water consumption at budget levels and prepare reusable solutions.
Travel Insurance required for Everest View Trek
During the Everest View Trek, Travel Insurance is one of the non-negotiable things as the high altitude and study area make this very essential for unforeseen circumstances. The travel insurance policy should typically include comprehensive coverage of emergency medical expenses for helicopter evacuations, cancellation of the trip, and so on. Rescue from altitude sickness or injuries is mostly helicopter rescue which can be life-saving but is most exorbitant without having insurance, costing thousands of dollars.
Travel insurance, which imparts health coverage as well, protects against trip cancellations due to natural calamity, political agitation or cancellation of flights. Extensively, flights to Lukla, the trek’s commencing point, are restlessly delayed many times due to adverse conditions of the weather. You can get travel insurance from Travelex and Allianz.
Guides and Porters
The Everest View Trek 7 Days is less challenging treks in Nepal and it is highly important to find a guide for an effective and secure journey. Hiring experienced guides and porters greatly influences the joy of an Everest View Trek experience. Safe and supportive local knowledge enhances the trek, and are what these experienced guides and porters bring on board. Their benefits of a guide are clear: navigating the trails, securing permits, and sharing secrets of the region in terms of cultural, vegetation, and animal diversity. Moreover, they offer their services to trekkers in ensuring they follow the safest route and pace to minimize altitude sickness’s effect. Familiarity with the trail prepares them for any emergency situations.
As you hire porters, you will be able to free yourself from heavy luggage and enjoy every trek to the fullest and generate lots of energy while doing so. Hiring porters not only makes the hike easier; it has provided work for many in tourism-dependent countries with job opportunities related to trekking. Porters should be treated fairly and should have all the essential things that they require for trekking.
Guides and Porters do not just fulfill their roles functionally, but go beyond that to tell you stories and humor, making the Everest View Trek enjoyable and worth it.

Detailed Itinerary
As you arrive at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, a representative from Mountain Treks Nepal will receive you warmly and then transfer you to your hotel. Kathmandu is a city where history and culture meet. You will spend the first day enjoying the lively streets and visiting cultural landmarks featuring prayer flags and ancient pagoda-style temples.
Some places within your reach include Swayambhunath Stupa popularly referred to as the Monkey Temple and Kathmandu Durbar Square-all giving a peek into the rich heritage of Nepal.
You will attend a pre-trip discussion Mountain Treks Nepal, where you will discuss the itinerary of trekking and necessary measures to be taken.
Today, an early morning flight to Lukla; it takes 35 minutes. The flight introduces you to an aerial view of the majestic Himalayan range. Arriving at Tenzing-Hillary Airport in Lukla, you will meet your trekking guide and porter. Then, you will head out for trekking through the beautiful villages of Nurning and Chheplung. The trail leads up alongside a gentle flow of the Dudh Koshi River that meets terraced fields and prayer flags blown in winds.
Hiking to Phakding is fairly easy, allowing you to adapt to the terrain and altitude. It is a lovely little village that offers grand views of the hills and snow-capped peaks around. Overnight stay at a tea house in Phakding.
The trek to Namche Bazaar after a warm breakfast takes you through lush pine forests and multiple crossings of Dudh Koshi river. This route takes you past beautiful Sherpa settlements like Toktok and Monjo-the entrance to Sagarmatha National Park. Here, you will complete the permit formalities before entering the park. Also, the views of towering peaks like Thamserku (6,623 m) become visible as you ascend higher. The climb would only get steeper along the way, with sections such as the Hillary Suspension Bridge adding an extra thrill above the roaring river down below.
Reaching Namche is tough but well deserved since the first view of Everest will be right before you. Namche Bazaar is the cultural and economic capital of Khumbu. This village offers vibrant shops, bakeries, and delightful cafes to rest in. Overnight stay at a hotel in Namche.
On the fourth day of the Everest View Trek 7 Days, we will hike to Khumjung and Khunde and return to Namche in the evening. As the day begins, we start off with a warm breakfast and take a hike through the pine forests above Namche. Here, the Khumjung and Khunde villages of Sherpas greet you. With the stunning peaks like Ama Dablam and Thamserku, the way is guaranteed to offer breathtaking views. A visit to the Hillary School in Khumjung is also included, this institution was set up as a contribution to the local area by Sir Edmund Hillary so that local people could be empowered. Also, we will explore the stone house and a peek into the culture and daily life of the Sherpas.
You will continue your exploration to Khunde, and discover the Khunde Hospital-another highly-sought establishment left behind by Hillary. It has been a base for remote Himalayan communities to be provided with vital healthcare services. From here, the tranquility that most of these villages bring, blended with the culture, makes this day another highlight in your trekking journey. After exploring the region in all its glory and history, it is back to Namche Bazaar. You will spend the night at a fine lodge enjoying a warm dinner.
On the fifth day of the Everest View Trek, you will return to Lukla for the last stage of your trek. The trail now descends, dropping past familiar villages: Monjo and Phakding. You will once again pass through the fresh green fields, rhododendron forests, and the delightful sparkle of the Dudh Koshi River. While on the journey, you can enjoy the magnificent mountains surrounding you on the trek, allowing it to be a moment of reflection.
As you step foot in Lukla, you can celebrate the culmination of this trekking adventure with your team. It is the perfect opportunity to appreciate your guides and porters who have assisted you greatly. You will stay overnight in the local tea house in Lukla where you can enjoy a warm and cozy environment after harvesting some rewards from the days of trekking. Tomorrow morning your adventure will be over as you fly back to Kathmandu, but until then, consider what you have experienced and the breathtaking views.
Today, you will catch a flight into Kathmandu early this morning, which takes around 35 minutes. As you onboard flight from Lukla, you will leave Everest region but can have a final glimpse of the mighty Himalayas. Once in Kathmandu, our representative will transfer directly to your hotel for some relaxation from the adventure.
You can use today perhaps to indulge the capital’s few cultural treasures: sacred Boudhanath Stupa, revered Pashupatinath Temple, and historic Patan Durbar Square. While you have been experiencing the current topography rugged and harsh, these UNESCO World Heritage Sites would surely be a glorious contrast with everything you have just experienced.
To this end, in the evening, Mountain Treks Nepal will celebrate your great trek with a special farewell dinner. Enjoy true Nepali food and share tales of your hikes with fellow trekkers. You can spend your last evening in Kathmandu in a hotel with an attached bathroom and other amenities.
