Modelled 10-year averages (ERA5 / ERA5-Land via Open-Meteo), checked against the Pyramid research station in the Khumbu, 2016-2025 (within about 1–2 °C of the station's measurements). Temperatures only: the model's rainfall is too coarse to trust in rain-shadow valleys such as Manang, so we leave it out. Mountain valleys and ridges vary more than these grid-model averages show.
How to read these numbers
The tables show 10-year averages from a weather model, adjusted for each village’s elevation. The valley rises from warm forest at Syabrubesi to cold, open yak pastures at Kyanjin Gompa, so pack for both.
The seasons
- Spring (March to May): rhododendrons in the lower forest and warming days. Cloud builds in the afternoons towards May.
- Monsoon (June to September): rain, leeches in the forest and risk of landslides on the road from Kathmandu.
- Autumn (October to November): the clearest skies of the year and the best views of Langtang Lirung.
- Winter (December to February): cold and quiet, with snow possible at Kyanjin Gompa.
