Green Valleys and Clearer Skies for Your Expedition
September marks the end of the monsoon and the start of the autumn Everest trekking season. The dust has been washed away, leaving the air incredibly crisp and the valleys vibrant green.
The monsoon rains fill the rivers to their peak. The waterfalls along the trail to Everest Base Camp are spectacular in September. It is the most lush time of year for a Mount Everest expedition approach.
While early September may still have lingering clouds, by mid-month the skies open up. The first glimpses of the Mount Everest summit against a deep blue sky are more dramatic because of the surrounding greenery.
September is the 'shoulder' month. You get the beauty of the high season without the massive crowds found in October. It’s a peaceful time for Everest trekking through Sherpa villages.
If you love photography and green landscapes, September is the perfect time for your journey toward the Mount Everest summit.
