Everest Base Camp (5,364m) in the monsoon!
Hiking to the lap of Everest - Everyone's dream vacation destination in the Himalayas is near to going off-season as Spring (March-May) is at the end, and the monsoon is very close to bursting up from the sky. But it's still doable if done correctly.
However, high grounds in Khumbu experience less rainfall, so it can be much attainable even in the monsoon if appropriately prepped. While the trail to Everest Base Camp in wet conditions can be rough, having the most greenish views with less crowd is a perk. Hikers should understand that the clouds are always in play with mountains and will not let a glimpse that easily except for sometimes when it clears up for a while after due rainfall/snowfall. The morning is usually when the weather is stable, so it is excellent to catch early views. Likewise, starting early morning and getting to the stop point by early afternoon will leave hikers away from rainfall that usually begins mid-afternoon.
Indeed the trip is possible all year round if one prepares enough. Besides all issues that come in the way of EBC, altitude sickness is not what you should worry about at these times. The temperature stays up to 16°C at daytime and down to -1°C at night, which makes walking hot at lower parts but appropriate at higher altitudes. That also means it doesn't require packing much heavy gear.
Moreover, it can be a pleasant experience and more of an achievement being at the foot of mighty Everest, even if the views are least clear. Regardless, there are many options to customize the trip to fit the interests of anyone. To enquire about the journey, click!
