The mean overnight temperature drops 3.3 degrees for every 1000 feet gained in elevation; eg., if the mean overnight temperature in September in Kathmandu at 4,000 feet is 66 degrees, then in Namche Bazaar at 11,000 feet (7000 feet higher than Kathmandu) the mean overnight temperature will be (3.3 x 7=)23 degrees colder or 43 degrees.
