If you want to experience an unforgettable adventure and if you are ready to go for a trek to Everest Base Camp, the Spring Season and Autumn Seasons are the best:
You can enjoy the blooming beauty of Rhododendrons on the way and be a good time for those who find it difficult to go in frigid temperatures. At this time, the temperature will be moderate around minus 5 degrees Celsius and the skies will be clear to enjoy the view. But at this time many people visit there and can be a little crowded but will be a great time to go. Flights will be available easily and can get great hospitality on the way so don’t have a problem with guides and porters. They are available on standby all the time.
During the time of Autumn Season, you can enjoy the breathtaking views of the mountains and different ranges experiencing excellent visibility and more stable weather than in other seasons. Snow will cover up all the way everywhere in your trails and may make you a little slippery and wet but the experience will be very adventurous. This time will be great if you wanna enjoy the Nepalese cultural festivals like Dashain and Tihar.
The trek to Everest Base Camp is considered a little hard but if have a good physique, and motivation to do it anyhow it won’t be hard as other says. The trail is not that hard but sometimes rain, snow, temperature, and other similar natural factors can be a cause for it. If you make a pre-planned for it and start focusing on boosting your stamina and power it would be great for you.
Most of the inexperienced hikers have also already completed their trek with a general physical status but if you become prepared for it before departure to base camp it will be more rewarding and a plus point for you. You just need to have a habit of walking just 4 to 5 hours a day and just need to know how to walk on trekking. You may experience some up-and-down trails but just carrying your daily pack you can easily make it. You just need to focus on basic activities like running, swimming, yoga for breathing techniques, and saving stamina. Considering these factors you can easily make your trek successful. But, if you have health problems like lung disease, heart disease, or blood disorders you must consult your doctor. You can also make a call to Wandering Trails Adventure to learn more information about it.

Here, we can see marmots, mouse hares, tahr, musk deer, snow leopards, and maybe blue sheep in the Himalayas. You can still see wild Yak and big Tibetan sheep sometimes. Spiny Babbler, vultures, snowcocks, Himalayan Gifrro,n and many more would all be found here. Among them all, the Spiny Babbler is the only species that can be found only in Nepal.
Here most of us can spot yaks cause they can endure the dizzying heights of the Himalayas and serve as a part of carrying logistics and storage. The female Yak is very much treasured by Sherpas because of the milk it brings. The milk can be preserved in cheese for quite some time and can be eaten.
Nepal is a heaven for ecotourism for all the flora and fauna therein.
