Finding places to stay on the way to Everest Base Camp can be difficult during the popular trekking seasons when many travelers visit. In December, there are usually plenty of rooms available in tea houses and lodges. These accommodations are normally very full with trekkers during peak season times but sit mostly empty when it is very cold in December. However, due to harsh weather conditions, many lodges and shops will remain closed until the next Spring season. So to say only limited lodges will be open to cater to the few winter trekkers visiting the region People trekking in December enjoy several benefits: no long lines, lots of choices for rooms, cheaper off-season rates, and more exclusive access to nice amenities like hot showers, fireplaces, and places to charge devices. Since there are fewer guests, the tea houses and lodges can provide better service and comfort.
