The optimal period for visiting Gokyo Lake in Sagarmatha National Park is during the pre-monsoon season, which spans from March through May, as well as the post-monsoon seasons from September to November. During these months, the weather is most favorable, with clear skies and moderate temperatures enhancing the experience of trekking and providing the finest visibility for photographers. Spring (March to May) heralds in blooming rhododendrons and verdant landscapes, with temperatures ranging from 15°C to 20°C during the day, while nights can still be quite chilly. This is also the time you can witness a vibrant mix of flora and fauna in the region.
Another excellent time for a visit is the autumn season from September to November. During this time, after the monsoon rains have cleared the skies of dust, visitors are treated to crystal-clear views of the dazzling mountain peaks and the emerald Gokyo Lakes. Temperatures are once again comfortable for trekking, usually in the range of 10°C to 15°C during the day, with colder nights. Crowds tend to be larger during these months as well, as this is considered one of the best trekking seasons in Nepal. It is important for travelers to book accommodations in advance during the peak seasons to ensure availability.
