Best days to trek

Each day is scored on its own windows: pass/high point 04:00–11:00, trail 07:00–17:00, views 06:00–10:00. Reported closures cap the next 3 days; later days show the weather outlook.

About

Everest Base Camp

Fly to Lukla, walk the Dudh Koshi to Namche Bazaar and up the Khumbu to Gorak Shep, Everest Base Camp and the Kala Patthar viewpoint. Weather risk is split between Lukla flights (low cloud) and cold, wind and snow above 4,500m.

Method

How the score works

A trek is a route, not a point. We pull an hourly MET Norway forecast for every waypoint (9 on this trek), corrected to its real altitude, plus 5 days of past rain and snow.

High point — wind at pass height (free-air pressure-level wind), wind chill, snowfall, whiteout and thunderstorms during the real pre-dawn crossing window.

Snow & pass — fresh-snow load, new snow depth and time since snowfall give a pass status and an estimate of when locals can reopen the trail; an indicative 1–5 avalanche hazard adds wind loading and warming.

Landslide — rolling 3–96 h rainfall at each gorge segment against the published Nepal Himalaya rainfall threshold (Dahal & Hasegawa, 2008), scaled for slope susceptibility, monsoon saturation and DHM heavy-rain warnings; the hazard fades once rain stops.

Trail weather, views and access — daytime rain and storms on the whole route, dawn cloud at the viewpoints, and Lukla flight odds or approach-road risk.

Reports — Nepali and international news is classified by relevance, severity and source trust. A credible closure caps the score; a later reopening clears it.

Not an official forecast. Nepal has no public avalanche bulletin: avalanche and landslide levels here are model-derived indications. Always follow DHM warnings, district authorities, park staff and your guide. Conditions in the Himalaya change within hours.
