Explore More About Everest on Tibetan Side:
Surprisingly changeable, unstable, and difficult to predict with more fierce wind and much colder night on the mountain top. While on north Everest Base Camp, fewer plants but a much clearer sky with more magnificent Everest panorama views. Shorter summit night.
Controlled by the continental plateau climate, weather on the North Slope of the Everest in Tibet tends to be more complicated and unpredictable with drier air, and dense fog at the footage but snowstorms accompanied by the relentless gale and fierce hail up on higher elevation areas.
Located at the border of China and Nepal, Mt. Everest is governed by both the two countries’ governments. Due to the locations, the north part of the Mountain in Tibet is universally referred to as the “North Slope” while the south part in Nepal is taken as the “South Slope”. Likewise, North Everest Base Camp (5200 m) in Tibet and South Everest Base Camp (5364 m) in Nepal.
Furthermore, the climbing route from the north side of the Mountain in Tibet is typically referred as the Northeast Ridge route or the Standard Route while the climbing route from the south side of the mountain is generally considered to be the Southeast Ridge route.
Due to the location, both sides’ climates and plants of Mt. Everest in Tibet and Nepal bare no similarities.
Less influenced by the ocean, lush plants are barely found in any season of the year, what we can see are barely the alpine meadow zone, an alpine desert zone with sparsely grown grass. Ice snow belts extend their ways far from the eye can see. But as compensation, much more significant Himalaya Mountains can be appreciated and more stunning panoramic mountain views can be experienced, which constantly make you stand in awe. Nepal side: Abundant rainfall, a comparatively stable climate, plant diversity, longer summit night.
In Tibet, the best time to visit Mt. Everest falls typically in Apr., May, Sept., Oct., and Nov. From Mid-June to August, the monsoon season comes and the entire Everest region in Tibet is shrouded with intermittent heavy fog and rains.
If you prefer trekking, do trek Mt. Everest from April to May and Mid-Sept. to Nov. However, for mountaineers, April to May and Sept. to Oct. is the prime time for mountaineering on Everest on Tibet’s side.
