Nepal in September
The monsoon usually withdraws in the second half of September, and the skies begin to clear. Indra Jatra brings the Kumari's chariot and masked Lakhey dancers to Kathmandu Durbar Square. From late September Lukla flights move to Ramechhap again for the autumn rush. Early-month trails are still wet; by the last week, trekking season is open and Pokhara is green and bright.
