Langtang & Manaslu in October
The best month. Skies are clear after the monsoon, harvests are under way and every trail is open. Manaslu and Larkya La are at their most reliable, Helambu's apples are ripe and Chisapani's sunrise views are sharp. Langtang depends on post-flood access to Syabrubesi; check current status before you travel.
Local tip for October
Book lodges on the Manaslu Circuit early for October.
