Questions travellers ask
Is September a good time to visit Everest & Khumbu?
September is the shoulder month. The first half can still bring monsoon rain and cancelled flights, but from mid to late September the skies clear, the valleys are green and the trails are quieter than in October. From about 25 September the busy-season Ramechhap rule has applied to scheduled Lukla flights. Late-September starts are a good compromise between weather and crowds.
