Like any other famous thing in the world, this trek attracts a lot of conflict and confusion along with its name. One of the most debated topics has always been the ‘best time to do EBC’ or ‘When to do Everest base camp trek’. There have always been constant questions about it and here is the answer. It’s a long answer, and here it goes.
Let me state the question once again to you.
What is the best time of the year to trek Everest Base camp?
And the answer is NONE. Don’t worry, you read it right. I heard the same answer when I asked this question and was as shocked as you are after reading this. But trust me, it is the answer and there is a lot of explanation that goes behind this four lettered weird answer that you just read.
The point I am trying to make here is that the best time or the season to do the trek really depends upon the kind of experience you are looking to have. Therefore, the answer.
The trek is done by different kinds of trekkers all around the year. Broadly speaking, there are two seasons in which we can classify the trekking months i.e. pre-monsoon season and post-monsoon season.
It is probably the only trek in which you choose the time to do it depending upon the kind of experience you are looking to derive out of the trip. The pre-monsoon season includes the months of March, April and May and the post-monsoon season include September, October, and November.
