Is Everest Base Camp Trek Possible in Summer?

Yes, absolutely!
Although mid-July to mid-September is the peak monsoon period with heavy rainfall, the month of June is generally considered pre-monsoon, offering clear skies, warm temperatures, and long daylight hours. In fact, early July also remains favorable in many years for trekking in the Everest region.

So if you're planning your trek during June or early July, it's still a great time to experience the Everest Base Camp trail.

Is the Price Lower in Summer or Pre-Monsoon?

Yes!
Because summer is considered a low trekking season, we offer special discounts on our regular Everest Base Camp trek package. This not only benefits our trekking guests with lower prices, but also supports our local Sherpa guides and porters by providing continued employment opportunities in the off-season.
