Best Time to Travel

Autumn (Sept. to Nov.) and spring (March to May) are the best time for Trekking. The weather is delightful and pleasant during autumn. The mountain views are astonishing.

The hills are wrapped with beautiful flowering rhododendron during spring. Majority of the trekkers find Spring best time for Tebgboche Trekking since they love to see flowering rhododendron in Sagarmatha National Park.

Winter( Dec-Feb) will be very harsh due to cold and cloudy weather which hide the mountain peaks.

Summer will be too hot for some trekkers. Heavy rainfall occurs and disturbs the transportation and even walk in the mountain.

Threats and Safety

We do not really face such terrible threats during Tengboche trekking. There is no any slippery and steep trail  and challenging passes in Tengboche Trek. Sometimes, steep uphill while getting to Tengboche Bazar from the suspension bridge may be challenging to the beginners.

There are few cases the trekkers suffered from altitude sickness. It may be because dehydration and lack of stamina. Report it to you trekking leader or guide if you have any health inconveniences. You will immediately be rescued. Drink plenty of hot drinks and do not smoke in the higher elevation. Have balanced diet and have sound sleep.
