Best Season for Everest Base Camp Trek in 2026
Choosing the right season is one of the most important factors for a successful and enjoyable Everest Base Camp Trek in 2026. Among all seasons, spring and autumn are widely recognized as the best and safest times to trek to Everest Base Camp due to stable weather, clear mountain views, and favorable trekking conditions.
Spring (March–May)
Spring offers stable weather, clear skies, and comfortable trekking temperatures. This is the most popular season, and trekkers can see Everest climbing expeditions at Base Camp, creating an exciting atmosphere. Trails are busier, especially in April and early May.
Autumn (Late September–November)
Autumn is considered the best season for weather and mountain views. After the monsoon, the skies are crystal clear and trails are dry. October has ideal conditions, while November is perfect for those who want fewer crowds and a quieter trekking experience.

Everest Base Camp Trek Itinerary (17 Days)
A well-designed itinerary is essential for a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable Everest Base Camp trek. As an experienced Sherpa company, we have carefully crafted our 17-day Everest Base Camp itinerary to prioritize proper acclimatization, safety, and an exceptional trekking experience.
Your journey begins with arrival in Kathmandu (1,400 m / 4,593 ft), followed by a scenic mountain flight to Lukla (2,860 m / 9,383 ft). The trek continues through beautiful and less-crowded Sherpa villages, including Phortse, offering an authentic Himalayan experience away from busy trails.
To support your body’s adjustment to altitude, we include:
This gradual ascent allows your body to acclimatize naturally before heading higher, making the trek safer and more enjoyable. With our experienced Sherpa guides and carefully planned schedule, you reach Everest Base Camp (5,364 m / 17,598 ft) feeling strong, confident, and well prepared.
Our itinerary is designed to maximize success, comfort, and peace of mind, so you can fully enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime Himalayan adventure.
Helicopter Flight vs Regular Lukla Flight
Lukla is the main gateway to the Everest Base Camp trek, and there are two flight options to reach it: helicopter or regular fixed-wing aircraft.
Regular Lukla Flight
Helicopter Flight
Our Recommendation
If your budget allows, we highly recommend the helicopter option for its reliability, comfort, and time efficiency. For travelers on a tighter budget, regular Lukla flights remain a practical option, especially with flexible schedules.
If you would like to fly directly to Lukla by shared helicopter, we have newly created a package that has been loved by many of our valued guests. Please check this link: EBC Trek with Round-Trip Helicopter (Kathmandu to Lukla & Back by Helicopter)
Fitness and Preparation Tips
The Everest Base Camp trek is moderately challenging—it is not a technical climb, but it requires good stamina and physical fitness. Trekkers with prior hiking or trekking experience can comfortably complete the trek with our expert Sherpa guides. Once you book your trek, we strongly recommend daily preparation, including cardio exercises, running, and leg-strengthening workouts, to build endurance for long days on the trail.
