The monsoon fades through September and the Terai turns green and gold as rice ripens. Showers become shorter, roads improve and pilgrim groups begin to return late in the month. Humidity stays high, so plan early starts. In some years Bhagwati Jatra in Tansen falls in early September. Tilaurakot and Niglihawa are lush and quiet, and late September is a sensible shoulder month for a short Lumbini trip.
Lumbini 25 to 32 °C, rain easing, humid. Conditions change fast with altitude, so check the mountain forecast a few days before you travel.
Good choices this month: India–Nepal Buddhist Circuit via Sonauli 7 Nights, Lumbini and Chitwan Family Tour 5 Nights, Lumbini Meditation Retreat 5 Nights, Lumbini Pilgrimage Tour 2 Nights. Use mosquito repellent at dawn and dusk; the wetlands around Lumbini are still full of water.
