Khumbu - night temperatures in October inside lodges

[Harnas]

Hello

Usually peaple discuss about sleeping bags, but I need just simple information about temperatures INSIDE lodges in October. My plan is do a trek from Lukla to EBC, then Chola La, Gokyo and down to Lukla.

Could easily go to 0 Celsius inside your room. I had -7 inside the room in early January 2008 at Gokyo, what the temperature outside got to -18 that night. It will probably be a bit warmer in October. But when you get to above 4000 metres altitude, it gets pretty cold, and the lodges are not insulated well at all. A warm sleeping bat is a must.

Can get easily down to -10C, even colder. Fortunately that happens only once or twice in the highest lodges (unless you stay there for a long time). So it is possible to survive with lesser bat* if you wear long underwear & fleece in bed and use down jacket as a quilt.

I use the same terminology as yakshaver above so that he does not feel so bad about it. And don't you edit it!

Yes, it can get cold, you will be happier with a good sleeping bag than without.
