The Nepal base camp trek is one of the most famous trekkings in the country, especially as adventure enthusiasts throughout the world search for new goals.
One of the first surprises about it is the affordability and accessibility. It is both cheap to do and it can be done throughout the year by people of all ages – both novices as well as experienced mountaineers.
It is also an opportunity to experience the Sherpa culture and practices, as well as to see the magnificent Khumbu landscapes. They follow a unique form of Buddhism and there are many monasteries and prayer flags along the way.
The best times of the year to visit the area are autumn (September to December) and spring (March to May). The weather conditions are suitable and favorable. There are less clouds in the sky and the mountain views are clear. Summer suffers with monsoons and the trails become muddy, while there is too much snow during the winter months.
