    Route summary

    Following the trail along the Dudh Koshi River, you'll reach Namche Bazaar. It is a popular resting spot for trekkers to spend a day acclimatizing to the high altitude. After exploring the largest town in Khumbu, you’ll hike to Everest View Hotel for the 360° views of the surrounding peaks.

    Best Times for the Trek

    Are you ready for a journey to the heart of the Khumbu region, where the grandeur of the Himalayas awaits? Then, it's time to start planning your trek to Short Everest Trek!

    When it comes to choosing the best time to go, you're in for a treat because the region offers two of the best seasons for trekking - spring and autumn.

    Spring (March to May) is when the entire region comes alive with vibrant colors. The rhododendron forests, which line the trail, burst into full bloom, creating a breathtaking landscape. The weather is warm, and the skies are clear, making it the perfect time for trekking.

    Autumn (September to November) is another great time to visit the region. When the monsoon season ends, the clear skies offer excellent visibility of the surrounding peaks. The temperature is mild, making it comfortable for trekking.

    The winter season (December to February) can be harsh, with cold temperatures and the possibility of flight cancellations due to poor weather conditions in Lukla. However, you can still opt for this trek if you can withstand the harsh weather. Trekking in the winter allows you to enjoy the Himalayas all to yourself.

    So, mark your calendars and pack your bags because the best times to go for the Short Everest Trek are during the spring and autumn seasons.
