What’s the best time can we see Mt. Everest clearly?

Some survey shows that the Mount Everest has shrunk with the global warming. Therefore, the number of travelers to trip to Mount Everest has been increasing in recent years. The best time of year to visit the Mt. Everest is April, May and October during which visitors can see the Mount Everest clearly.

As the world’s highest mountain, Mount Everest is known as Qomolangma in Tibetan. Qomolangma literally means 'Goddess the Third' in Tibetan language, highly was enhanced magic power and mysterious color by local people. The height of the Mount Everest measured in 1975 was 8,848 meters, but has decreased to 8844.43 meters above sea level according to the measurement in 2005.

Summer is the monsoon season at the Everest region, making the Everest covered by mist all the day and the road to the Everest Base Camp from Tingri muddy in rainy days. Travelers who visit Everest Base Camp in this season may only be able to the Everest hiding behind her veil which makes the peak mysterious, but also makes the visitors disappointed.  

Spring offers better weather and less rain, but unpredictable winds coming from India can affect visibility at lower altitudes. Anyway, it doesn’t matter. For travelers, to see the real appearance of the world’s highest peak is the main purpose. Wind is a big risk for Mt. Everest climbers who may stay at the base camp to wait a good chance without strong wind to conquer the Mt. Everest.   

For best visibility and comfortable temperatures, it is best to visit the Mt. Everest in October and November. Winter is also a good season to make an Everest Base Camp tour, because there isn’t much snow at this altitude and the crowds are smaller. However, the restaurants or hotels there might be closed in winter due to the few visitors.
