Traveller notes on Chitwan in October
Notes from nearby Kathmandu (82 km away)
Chitwan doesn't have its own notes for October yet — these are about Kathmandu, close enough to share the season.
October, post-monsoon, is when the Himalaya actually appears — the air is washed clean and you can see the range from the valley rim. It's also peak trekking season, so teahouses on the Annapurna and Everest routes are full.
