September is a great month for trekking in the Himalayas. As the monsoon rains end, the weather becomes clear and cool, the skies turn blue, and the mountain views are at their best. The forests are still green, the meadows are fresh, and the rivers are full, making it one of the most beautiful and rewarding times to explore nature on foot.
Treks to Do in September 2025
Here are nine amazing Himalayan treks to consider this September.
Buran Ghati (Himachal Pradesh)
Buran Ghati is a high-altitude trek in Himachal Pradesh that offers everything, from dense forests and flower-filled meadows to glacier crossings and a dramatic pass descent. The highlight is the 15,000 ft Buran Pass, which gives panoramic views of the Dhauladhar range.
