Witness Teej, the vibrant women's festival of red and song, as the monsoon clears and the trekking season reopens across Nepal.
Teej is a joyful Hindu festival celebrated mainly by women, who dress in brilliant red, sing and dance, and gather at temples like Pashupatinath. It falls in late August or September, just as the monsoon retreats.
Trekking in the Teej window means lush, green, freshly washed hills, dramatic cloudscapes and waterfalls at their fullest — a different, vivid side of the Himalaya before the dry autumn sets in.
Lower-altitude Annapurna foothill treks shine at this time, with rice terraces glowing emerald and far fewer trekkers on the trail.

Yes. Early September can still see late-monsoon showers, but the hills are gloriously green and trails are quiet. By late September the weather turns reliably clear.
Teej is a women-centred festival of fasting, song and dance, with participants dressed in vivid red saris — a colourful, photogenic celebration of marital and family bonds.
