Weather Conditions in September

change start

Mid-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‘Fall Season’ historically the monsoon would end in mid-September, however in recent years the monsoon has officially withdrawn in early October.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.

At a glance
On average there are 15 days with precipitation in September. The highest point on the trek is Kal Tal at 3685 m. During September, expect high temperatures of around 14.3°C (58°F) and lows down to 4.3°C (40°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.
