These chances are even higher in July. While you might be tempted to think that going overland is a way to avoid flight delays, this isn't recommended in July. Overland access to Lukla such as the 'Pioneers' Route' from Jiri is likely to be blocked by landslides on the roads. High rainfall across Nepal keeps most trekkers off the trails in July. But, those who prepare well with good rain gear, and who are prepared for some potential travel delays, can still have a good time trekking to Everest Base Camp.
Here's what to expect in this month. Weather July is smack-dab in the middle of Nepal's monsoon season, which means rain every day and generally warm temperatures. Recommended Routes If you really want to trek all the way to EBC in July, you'll probably encounter the most rain at lower elevations although nowhere in the Everest region is exactly 'low' ; the higher you go, the less rain there will be.
What to Bring Make sure to bring good waterproofs for trekking in July, and enough clothes that you don't have to re-wear the previous day's wet ones.
These months are known as also summer season months. During this season, monsoon blows from the south-east direction and brings rain to the country. Also, the regional distribution of rainfall varies from one to the other area.
During this time of the year, the temperature slightly drops down due to frequent rainfall. But the humidity increases and making the heat muggy.
Are you planning Everest Base Camp trek in a monsoon? Since most of the mountains of Nepal are situated on the southern side, the temperature is relatively mild even at high altitudes. Also, at high altitudes, you'll see far less precipitation than the lower regions of Nepal. Although rainfall usually occurs during the evening and night time, it is unpredictable in the Everest region.
The rainfall might occur anytime during the day. Normally, during these months, the weather across Everest Base Camp is moderate. The precipitation in the regions with altitude more than m is very low even in the monsoons. While in the low altitude rainfall occurs frequently.
You need to keep in mind that in monsoon the trail is muddy and slippery. Last week, 16 Sherpa were killed in an avalanche during the deadliest day on the mountain's slopes in recorded history. Rugged terrain, illness and extreme weather conditions slowed the work, but it was soon discovered that the Himalayas were the world's highest mountain range - previously the Andes were thought to be the highest.
Its height was calculated in , and in another survey using GPS technology discovered that the team was only off by 6 metres. In , Waugh proposed that the Royal Geographical Society should name the mountain after his predecessor George Everest because it was too difficult to pronounce its Hindi name.
His request was granted. Climbers make their way to the summit of Mount Everest. The Nepalese call the mountain Sagarmatha, or "goddess of the sky", whereas the Tibetans call it Chomolungma or "mother goddess of the universe". Despite being the middle of winter, there is often little snow around EBC, and it is still possible to travel to the base camp easily, even in January.
Mount Everest Base Camp is actually open all year round, and can be accessed from Lhasa quite easily, even in the depths of winter. For those planning a trek to EBC, the best time to travel is from April to May and September to October, when the climate is moderate and there is little rain.
Wet weather can make the trek from Tingri to EBC a little harder. For those that are traveling on a budget, the winter months are actually the best time to travel, as the cost of the tours is cheaper. You will also find that there are cheaper accommodations in the winter months, though there is only the Rongbuk Guesthouse to stay in at EBC in the winter, as the tent guesthouses have packed up until April.
But with fewer tourists and cheaper costs, it is better to travel from November to February for a cheap EBC tour. For a good visit to Tibet you need to pack carefully, as it can be cold there at any time of the year. Make sure that you have your valid passport and Chinese Entry Visa with you at all times, and that it is kept secure or on your person at all times. You need to apply for this permit one month prior to your arrival in Tibet as this permit takes some time to get ready and you need to produce the original copy of this permit at the Airport before you board the flight.
Tibet is renowned for having a very high temperature difference from day to night, and the temperatures at night at EBC can get pretty cold, even in the summer months, make sure that you have layers of long and short tops to keep warm with, a good fleece or down jacket and a couple of woolen sweaters, and rain and windproof coats.
Bring along plenty of underwear, including long underwear for the colder times, and thick woolen socks to keep your feet warm. Strong hiking boots are an advantage, as you will be walking on rough and rocky terrain, and you need to make sure your feet are kept dry and your ankles are supported.
Sports shoes are only useful for towns and cities and using in the hotel. Take a large backpack, a small bag and a waist bag is enough. Bigger backpack will be a wise option as it will be unable to keep clothes and will be easy to carry as the path is not that smooth to walk. The small bag will be usable to carry the things for daily use, such as hand towels, toiletries, etc. Though the solar radiations are strong in Tibet, it is necessary to keep sunscreen with minimum SPF 35, lip balms, cold cream, moisturizer, UV protection sunglasses, sun hat, ear buds, nail clippers, etc.
