From April to May, even mid-June, it is
really the greatest time to Everest base camp trek because it is not as cold as in winter and also you will be able
to see the peak very clear. Besides, for most of the mountaineers, April and
May are also the best time for them to climb the Everest. Then from September
to November, after the monsoon passes and before the harsh winter moves in,
there is a small window of opportunity available to view the best state of the
Mt. Everest. In this season, there will also be much more climbers than in
spring, during April to May. Down Jacket, Lightweight long underwear top,
short-sleeved shirts, waterproof breathable jacket & pants, running
Shoes/hiking boots, socks, gloves, hats, camera, sunglasses, sun-screen,
sleeping bag is to be carried with, put on and brought for travelling EBC at
best season.
It is also popular to go for horse trekking in mustang
region. The region lies in the rain shadow of the Himalaya, so the land is
barren and dry fly from Pokhara to Jomsom, the gateway to Lower Mustang. From
here, horse treks of around 17 days are standard. The goal is to reach Lo
Manthang, an ancient walled city in the restricted area of Upper Mustang.
Traditionally, packs of several hundred horses were taken to and from Lo
Manthang every year before the onset of winter. The steep, rocky terrain is
more manageable with the four-legged creatures. Lo Manthang is at an altitude
of 3780 meters. For a shorter, lower-altitude horse trek, consider trek Langtang valley trek instead, which is
closer to Kathmandu. While the mountains here are not as high as in some parts
of the country (around the 6000 and 7000 meter mark) they are still impressive,
especially as the Langtang Valley opens up. Children will enjoy spotting yaks.
