Catch the masked dances and living-goddess chariot of Indra Jatra in Kathmandu, then trek as the autumn season opens across the Himalaya.
Indra Jatra is Kathmandu's great street festival, when the living goddess Kumari is paraded by chariot through the old city, Lakhe demons dance and the squares fill with masked performers and music.
It marks the unofficial start of the autumn trekking season — the perfect cultural prelude to heading into the mountains as the skies clear.
Spend a few days in the Kathmandu Valley for the festivities, then trek into the Khumbu, Annapurna or Langtang as the post-monsoon weather settles.
