Weather Conditions in September
change startMid-September marks the start of the ‘Fall Season’ historically the monsoon would end in mid-September, however in recent years the monsoon has officially withdrawn in early October. While there is a good chance of precipitation, clear skies and lush, rice paddy terraced hills are your spectacular when it is not raining. The chance of rain decreases as the month progresses. The end of the monsoon means there is still a chance of the occasional heavy snowfall at high altitudes. Furthermore, high passes can have a lot of snow that has accumulated over the monsoon.

Langtang Valley via Gosainkunda and Upper Langtang Day Hike led by Ang Tsering Sherpa
There were some pretty tough days getting back up to the higher altitudes after descending back down Langtang but this section of the walk seemed much quieter than the main Langtang route. There were a lot more Nepalese trekkers here going up to the lakes for religious ceremonies which was nice to witness. The lakes are spectacular and worth trying to allocate a couple of days to stay there rather than rushing back down.
