Short answer
- October and November have the clearest skies and busiest trails.
- Spring is warmer, with rhododendrons and more haze.
- Monsoon cancels many Lukla flights; winter closes high passes.
Clear autumn mornings mean most Lukla flights fly, but the lodges are fullest and dearest.
This is general guidance, not a checked figure.
