Best Seasons for the trip
For the best visibility and the best chance to see these snow-capped mountains autumn and spring seasons are recommended as the humidity is low and the probability of raining is also very low.
But it doesn’t mean that other seasons are bad, it depends on weather conditions too. The climate in the Everest region varies from season to season but it doesn’t stop us from having the experience of observing its immense beauty as the trip entirely depends upon the weather condition on that specific day.
We cannot operate the flight on a rainy or foggy day as we value your safety. In winter we can see some foggy weather but on a favorable day with a crystal clear sky, the snow thickens to some inches which boosts the beauty of the Himalayas.
