25 Sep – 20 NovTrail seasonCrowdedBook earlyThe busiest weeks on the trail and the clearest air of the year. Namche is the compulsory acclimatisation stop, so every lodge here is full, and a day of bad weather at Lukla backs the whole valley up behind it.
- Festival
Mani Rimdu at Tengboche
15 Oct – 20 Nov · usuallyMajor festivalCrowdedThe monastery half a day above Namche dances the masked drama over three public days set by the Tibetan calendar. It falls inside the autumn season, so the courtyard holds Sherpa families and trekkers in roughly equal number. Source ↗
