Weather & trail conditions in September

The monsoon washes the sky clean, leaving the sharpest mountain views of the year. Trails are dry, rivers settle down, and nights get progressively colder as winter approaches. On Triund, expect daytime temperatures around 19°C on the trail and roughly 8°C at the highest camps after dark in September.
