Weather Conditions in October

change start

October begins the most popular time to trek, with moderate temperatures, clear skies in the wake of the monsoon, and a low chance of rain and snow. In recent years, the monsoon rains have receded later with weather patterns typically stabilizing in mid-October. While the chance of snow is decreased, there is the possibility of a heavy snowfall at higher elevations. If ill-timed and prolonged, this can make it difficult to cross some passes.

On average there are 4 days with precipitation in October. The highest point on the trek is Kal Tal at 3685 m. During October, expect high temperatures of around 13.3°C (56°F) and lows down to -0.7°C (31°F) at Kal Tal.

Around Manaslu via Kal Tal, via Tsum Valley, via Punggen Gompa, via Ganesh Himal Base Camp, and via Manaslu Base Camp led by Nawang Chimi Sherpa

Very tough hike. I recommend doing this trek only with start early morning to allow resting along the way. It is pretty much a day side trip.
