Without these people, your incredible adventure achievement wouldn’t have been possible. The practice of tipping, at 10% of the trip cost, is a tradition that allows you to give back, acknowledging the extraordinary efforts of your guides, porters, and assistant guides. It is a way to honor their dedication, hard work, and the way they have made your Nepal trip memorable.

    • The best time to do the Everest Base Camp trek is during the pre-monsoon (spring) and post-monsoon (autumn) seasons. These seasons provide the most favorable weather conditions for trekking to Everest Base Camp. 

      Here's a detailed overview of all four Nepal seasons and whether it's feasible to do an EBC trek in all 4 seasons.

      Spring Season (Pre-Monsoon):

      • Best Time:

      Starting from March to May is the SPRING SEASON, which is the best time to trek to Everest Base Camp. During spring the weather is essentially clear, and the temperatures are moderate. 

      NOTE: With the Climate Change factor these days Nepal is experiencing very unusual weather patterns. As a result, the early spring season can sometimes be unpredictable.

      Summer Season (Monsoon):

      • Feasibility During Monsoon:

       The summer/monsoon season in Nepal is from June to August. Monsoon experiences heavy rainfall and is not recommended for trekking to Everest Base Camp. The monsoon season brings unpredictable weather, landslides, and flight cancellations, making it challenging and potentially dangerous for trekking.

      Autumn Season (Post-Monsoon):

      • Best Time:

       The autumn season, from September to November, is another excellent time for the Everest Base Camp trek. The weather is great with clear skies, providing stunning views of the Himalayas.

      NOTE: However, Nepal is experiencing extended periods of monsoon every year that may make September still cloudy resulting in flight delays and cancellations. And trekkers in most Annapurna destinations encountered leeches till early October which is unusual. So, it's advisable to be well-prepared for such conditions.

      Winter Season:

      • Feasibility During Winter:

       The winter season in Nepal is from December to February. Winter comes with cold temperatures and occasional snowfall, especially at higher altitudes. While it is possible to trek during the winter to EBC but it requires proper gear, experience, and preparation for cold weather conditions
