You can try this or any other trek throughout the year, the only thing is sometimes it is pleasant, safe, and hassle-free to trek, and sometimes it’s not. There are two perfectly suited times in a year for Everest Base Camp Trek 7 days and they are Autumn and Spring.
Autumn arrives in Nepal during the months of September, October, November. These three months are considered the best and so are the peak months for trekking in Nepal. Autumn’s main attributes are its stable weather, warm temperature, clear skies. Doing Everest Base Camp Trek during Autumn means you can enjoy the mountain views all day long without a single disturbance. Moreover, the weather also does not change much rather it provides ideal conditions for trekking.
Similarly, the other idealistic time for 7 days Everest Base Camp Trek is Spring. March, April, and May are the months of Spring when one can recklessly wander around the trails of EBC. Weather is warm and ideal for a trek, no chances of rainfall and overcast conditions, greenery and blossomed flowers everywhere, and bright mountain views all day, this is how it looks like to do a trek in Spring.
On the other hand, Summer and Winter are unfrequented times for EBC or any other treks in Nepal. Trekking trails are mostly vacant during these two seasons. Summer means a season of heavy rainfall and Winter is a time when everything starts to freeze. If you are planning to do it in Winter (December to January) and Summer (June to August), it’s better not to do it. Or else, you should be ready to face any kind of consequences.
Difficulties on 7 Days Everest Base Camp Trek
When you are doing a trek of 12 to 15 days in just 7 days, it’s obvious that it will be a difficult trek. The only thing is how difficult this trek is. We will try to give a short overview of possible difficulties that you can face during the 7 days Everest Base Camp Trek.
The main hardness of this short EBC trek will be the distance and daily trek. Your trek will start from Lukla and over 6 days you will trek to reach Everest Base Camp Trek. All the trek has to be done in haste to cover around 65 km distance on the steepest trails. A total of 65 km means you will be walking an average of 10km per day. And 10km is not a short length to walk on steep and high altitude areas. That average day trekking is not attainable by everyone but only by the experienced trekkers. If you are one of them then this trek is good for you.
Moreover, altitude sickness can be a possible problem on this Everest Base Camp Trek 7 days. You’ll land at Lukla(2,860m) to start the trek to reach Everest Base Camp which lies in a surreal height of 5,364m. Not with a single acclimatization day, you will come across a rapid altitude increase. If you have no experience at all in high altitude treks before, you got a problem here of altitude sickness. But if you have been in a high altitude trek(above 4000m) game for a really good time now then you are ready to move on.
