Everest & Solukhumbu in July
July is the heart of the monsoon. Rain is frequent, flights unreliable, landslides close Solu's roads and leeches fill the lower forests. High pastures are green and full of flowers and herders, and Dumji may be celebrated in some villages. Few lodges are busy. We do not recommend trekking now except for those who know the region well and accept delays.
Local tip for July
Carry rain gear, leech socks and patience; plans will change.
