Questions travellers ask
Is September a good time to visit Kanchenjunga & the East?
The monsoon usually eases during September, with clearer mornings towards the end of the month. Terraces turn gold, the hills are at their greenest and roads reopen as repair crews clear slides. Late September is a good time for Ilam, Halesi and the Koshi Highway hill towns, and Pathibhara pilgrim traffic picks up before Navaratri. Early September can still bring heavy showers, so check road conditions before heading to Phungling or Khotang.
What is the weather like in Kanchenjunga & the East in September?
Ilam 18 to 25 °C, Phungling 14 to 22 °C, rain easing, clearer late. Conditions change fast with altitude, so check the mountain forecast a few days before you travel.
