Everest & Solukhumbu in March
March opens the spring season. Days warm, high lodges reopen and rhododendrons begin to flower in Solu and the lower Dudh Koshi forests. Mornings are clear, with more cloud and haze in the afternoons. Nights above 4,000 m are still very cold. A good month for Base Camp, Gokyo and the Lamjura La forests near Junbesi. Lhosar sometimes falls in early March.
Local tip for March
