Plangintza bat Everesteko oinarrizko kanpamentua means preparing for much more than cold weather. Weather can vary dramatically with altitude, and conditions can change a lot during the day. A sunny morning can be warm and pleasant, but it can chill out in the evening when the sun sets.
Also, temperatures at Base Camp on Everest vary by season. Conditions are more stable in spring and autumn; winter is extremely cold, and the summer monsoon season often brings clouds, rain, and reduced visibility. March to May and October to November are key trekking periods, while June to September is affected by monsoon weather.
The exact elevation of Everest Base Camp (5380 m / 17,650 ft) varies slightly by source.
The temperatures listed are approximate planning temperatures and not a forecast. Conditions vary from year to year.

The above figures are approximate averages of the Everest Base Camp climate tables as published. Weather can vary by exact location, altitude, day, and year, so figures differ.
Zergatik da Everest-eko oinarrizko kanpalekua hain hotza?
It’s mostly because of altitude. In Nepal, the average temperature drops about 6°C for every 1,000 m (3,281 ft) increase in elevation.
The Everest Base Camp route also descends from the warmer lower valleys to a high alpine area. Namche Bazaar is around 3,500 m (11,483 ft), while Kala Patthar 5,545 m (18,192 oin) ingurura iristen da.
This is because temperatures in Luklatik may differ significantly from those at Base Camp.
Another important factor is the difference between daytime and nighttime temperatures. When the sun is shining, a chilly morning may feel quite pleasant while you are out walking. After the sun sets, temperatures can drop rapidly.
Urtarrila: Neguaren zatirik hotzena
Oro har, urtarrila urteko hilabeterik hotzenetako bat da Everest eskualdean. Gauez 10 °C-tik beherako tenperaturak egon daitezke oinarrizko kanpalekuan eta egunean zehar 0 °C edo gutxiagokoak.
Higher areas of the path may still have snow and ice. In winter, some accommodation and services may be limited.
Warm clothes and an appropriate sleeping bag are necessary for those who go in January.
Zer espero:
- Goiz eta gau oso hotzetan
- Ibilbideko elur eta izotzez estalitako zatiak.
- Mountain visibility is good with clear skies.
- Batzuk, udaberrian edo udazkenean baino askoz gutxiago!
- Eguneko ordu laburragoak
Otsaila: Hotza baina pixkanaka hobetzen
February stays cold, especially at night. Gradually better weather sets in during the day; however, in higher areas, snow and freezing temperatures are still possible.
Otsaila neguko bigarren hilabetea da, baina urtarrila baino atseginagoa izan daiteke altitude baxuagoetan; altitude altuetan, neguko baldintzak espero dira.
A quality down jacket, thermal layers, gloves, and warm sleeping gear are important.
Martxoa: Neguak udaberriari bidea ematen hasten dio
The trekking season starts in March. Days start to warm up, and walking during the day becomes easier.
Even at Base Camp, nights can drop below -10°C (14°F), especially early in the month. Snow is still possible at higher elevations.
Ibilbidearen beheko zatietan iturburuak agertzen hasi dira; goiko eremuak alpetar sendoak dira oraindik.
Martxoan mendi-ibiliak egin nahi dituztenentzat, hona hemen abantaila batzuk:
- Baldintza freskoagoak
- Apirilean baino jende gutxiago dago
- Eguneko orduak gero eta luzeagoak
- Udaberriko landaredia beheko altitudeetan ikusteko aukera.
- Eguraldi ona egiten duenean mendiko ikuspegi onen aukera.
Apirila: Trekkingerako hilabete ezaguna
The Everest Base Camp trek is a relatively comfortable month in April. Daytime temperatures ease up, but it will still be cold at high altitudes.
Goizak eta arratsaldeak oraindik hotzak dira, batez ere inguruan Gorak Shep and Base Camp. However, when it is sunny and you are walking, many trekkers feel comfortable during the day.
In the lower parts of the Everest region, spring is also the time of rhododendron flowers. March to May are among the main seasons for visiting Sagarmatha National Park.
Maiatza: Montzoiaren aurreko egun beroagoak
Maiatza normalean apirila baino beroagoa da. Egunez ibiltzeko tenperatura erosoa izan daiteke, baina ez hain beroa gauez.
The first half of May is more ideal for trekking as moisture and clouds slowly creep up as the monsoon sets in.
As the month draws to a close, the sky may become cloudier, so you may need a little flexibility in your plans.
Ekaina: Beroagoa baina gero eta hezeagoa
Ekaina da montzoien hasiera Nepalen. Eguraldia nahiko epela da urte gehienean, nahiz eta euri eta laino egunek garrantzi handiagoa hartzen duten.
Some parts of the route may receive much more rain than the higher areas. Clouds can obscure mountain views, and trails can be soggy and slippery.
Cloudy skies and poor visibility in the region can also make flights to and from Lukla less predictable.
Uztaila: Montzoia bere gorenean
July’s usually one of Nepal’s wettest months. In Nepal, about 80% of annual rainfall falls during the monsoon season, from June to September.
Udaberria eta udazkena euritsuagoak eta lainotsuagoak dira, baina Everest eskualdea. Lower areas will be wetter, and even higher areas may not warm up.
Baldintza arruntak honako hauek dira:
- Zeru lainotsuak
- Euri jasa handiak beheko eremuetan
- Bide lokaztu eta irristakor
- Mendiko ikusgarritasun murriztua
- Hegaldien atzerapen posibleak
- Mendizale gutxiago
Abuztua: Garairik beroena, baina oraindik hezea
Abuztuak uztailekoaren antzeko eguraldi-ereduak ditu. Eguraldi-baldintzak epelak dira, baina euria eta zeru lainotuak errepidean geratzen dira.
Beheko haranak berdeak dira euri-sasoian. Baina mendiko bistak ez dira hain ziurrak bista garbiei dagokienez.
If you opt for August, pack waterproof clothing and allow extra time for travel and trail conditions.
Iraila: Udazkenerako Trantsizioa
September is a transition month. There are still chances of monsoon rain early in the month; toward the end, the weather may be more settled.
As the monsoon wanes, visibility is usually better. As fall arrives, so do the temperatures.
September can be very different toward the end of the month than at the beginning, especially in terms of cloud cover and how wet the trails are.
Urria: Freskoa, lehorra eta garbia
Urria trekking hilabete garrantzitsutzat hartzen da Everest eskualdean. Urria eta azaroa urteko garai garrantzitsuak dira Sagarmatha Parke Nazionalean.
The monsoon has mostly withdrawn, and skies are clearer, with drier trails. The temperatures during the day are cool, not warm and at higher elevations, nights are cold.
If you prefer clear mountain views, October is a month worth considering.
The only downside is that the trail is popular and can get congested, especially around Namche Bazaar and the higher settlements.
Azaroa: Hotza baina oro har lehorra
The dry autumn continues in November, but it gets much colder, especially later in the month.
It is pleasant to walk during the day in sunshine, but mornings and evenings are cold. High elevation areas can experience temperatures well below freezing.
Azaroak ikusgarritasun bikaina eskaintzen du baldintza lehorrei esker, eta oso garai erakargarria izan daiteke mendi-ibiliak egiteko, eguraldia freskoagoa eta askotan oso garbia baita.
Abendua: Negua itzultzen da
Winter is now in the offing, and December is the first month of the colder season. High-elevation daytime temperatures remain cool, and overnight temperatures can be very cold.
Slight snowfall is possible on higher sections of the route. With the onset of winter, fewer trekkers are on the trail.
When planning a trip for December, make sure your travel plans, lodging, and transportation can accommodate changing weather.
Nola aldatzen den tenperatura ibilaldian zehar
The monthly average temperature of Everest Base Camp gives you a helpful overview of what to expect at your destination, but it doesn’t reflect the entire trek.
Adibidez, Lukla 2,860 m ingurukoa da, eta Namche Bazaar, berriz, 3,500 m ingurukoa. Everest oinarrizko kanpalekua 5,380 m ingurukoa da.
Generally, temperatures decrease as you ascend.
That’s why it is better to pack for multiple climatic zones than to “take a chance” on the weather being uniform along the route.
Eguraldi erosoa egiteko hilabete onenak
Trekking denboraldia batez ere udaberria eta udazkena da.
Udaberria: martxotik maiatzera
- Tenperatura pixkanaka epelagoak
- Egun argiak ikusgarritasun ona izateko.
- Altitude baxuagoetan, rododendroak loratzen dira.
- Apirila hilabete jendetsua izaten da normalean
Udazkena: irailetik azarora
- Montzoi denboraldiaren ondoren, eguraldia hobetzen da.
- Urria eta azaroa normalean lehorrak dira.
- Visibility in the mountains is generally excellent.
- Azaroan tenperaturak jaitsi egiten dira.
Sagarmatha National Park is a crucial time for March, April, and May, and October and November.
Zer eraman Everest-eko oinarrizko kanpalekurako Eguraldia
Your clothing system should consist of layers you can add or remove depending on the temperature.
Arropa ezinbestekoa
- Hezetasuna xurgatzen duten oinarrizko geruzak.
- A warm mid-layer, such as fleece.
- Lumazko jaka isolatua
- Kanpoko jaka iragazgaitza
- Trekking galtza iragazgaitzak
- Trekking galtzerdi epelak
- Barruko arropa termikoa
- Eskularru epelak
- Artilezko edo artilezko txapela
- Eguzki kapela
- Betaurrekoen
- Kalitate oneko trekking botak
- A warm sleeping bag is essential for sleeping at high altitudes.
Hotzari aurre egiteko aholku praktikoak
- Geruzatan jantzi. When you need to remove a layer, it’s easier to do so when you’re moving than when you’re stuck in a thick coat.
- Ez ahaztu eskuak eta oinak babestea. Eguraldi hotzak azkar eragiten ditu hatz eta behatzak deseroso.
- Saihestu ura izoztea. Botila isolatuak lagungarriak izan daitezke neguan altitude handiagoetan.
- Erabili eguzkitako krema. Altitude handiko UV erradiazio indartsua ez da desagertzen hotz egiten duenean.
- Begiratu iragarpena goizean irten aurretik. The monthly climate table doesn’t always reflect mountain conditions accurately.
- Ez neurtu tenperatura eguneko orduen arabera bakarrik. Daytime and nighttime temperatures can vary significantly, even when the sun is shining.
Tenperatura ez da eguraldiaren kezka bakarra
The cold at Everest Base Camp is one aspect of the weather situation. The weather also plays a part in the trekking experience as it can be affected by both wind and snowfall, by cloud and by rain, or by a combination of these elements, as well as visibility and altitude.
Bereziki interesgarria den altuera. Nepalgo Turismo Bulegoak Everest eskualdean aklimataziorako geldialdiak egitea gomendatzen du, igoera malkartsuak egon daitezkeelako.
Itineraries generally include acclimatization days, which you should not skip.
Eguraldiak hegaldiaren eta bidearen baldintzetan ere eragina izan dezake. Hau bereziki garrantzitsua da montzoi garaian eta ikusgarritasuna txikia denean.
Final Pensamientos
The month-wise temperatures at the base of Everest help you decide when to trek and what to pack. The lowest temperature is in the winter, and there is the possibility of snow during this season; the spring has gradually warmer weather; the summer is impacted by monsoon weather; and the autumn has generally cooler and drier weather.
Temperatures vary throughout the Everest Base Camp trek. The weather changes from day to night, season to season, and with rising and falling elevations – and with the presence or absence of sunshine or wind. The figures presented in this guide are for planning and should not be interpreted as a definitive prediction.
Many trekkers plan their trips to coincide with the main spring and autumn seasons, when the weather is generally more agreeable for both trail and visibility conditions and temperatures. It’s always a good idea to check the mountain forecasts just before you go anywhere.
