Weather for Everest Base Camp Trek in January<\/span><\/h2>\n

January is the coldest month in the <\/span>Everest Region<\/span><\/a>. The absolute minimum temperature at altitudes of 5,000 masl can go as low as -26\u00b0C or -14.8\u00b0F. However, when the mercury hits that temperature, you will be under layers of blankets in a cozy lodge. Daytime temperatures while cold is still tolerable. But once the sun goes down, the temperature starts to drop very rapidly. Ideally, you want to be inside a lodge before sunset.<\/span><\/p>\n

January also sees at least a few days of snow. And that snow doesn\u2019t melt until mid-March. With snow on the ground and bright sunny days, you will be exposed to a high amount of UV. Also, remember that it is the dry and cold westerly wind that brings snow to Khumbu in January.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
