Best Time to Travel The best time to visit Everest are pre-monsoon spring (March – May) and pot-monsoon fall (late September – December). Trekking Everest in fall ensures the clear view with blue skies. In spring, the entire hills are embellished with colorful rhododendron and other wild flowers. The higher you get the colder it will be. Above 4,000m, the temperature usually goes down to freezing level. Night can drop as low as -10 degree while days are mild which is perfect for trekking.
