Monsoon may be ending but for hills, monsoon ever ends.
Last year September was monsoon month only with good rainfall in hills..
Something or the other disturbance comes and it may rain heavily.
Stick to main highways and keep eye on news.
For plains heavy rains are not much trouble creators.
But for hills you have to be cautious.
Monsoon effects can bother you at Jammu to Srinagar stretch most and then at Zozila Pass.
After that monsoon effect will be less.
For Manali side Monsoon effect can create havoc and can be dangerous at times at some places after Jispa in Himachal Pradesh as seen in earlier years.
Manali to Jispa is easy via Rohtang tunnel / not pass.
Bilaspur to Manali may be tricky as road construction work is going on and it can cause delay at places in daytime.
I can update 4-5 days ago only about weather conditions of areas coming in your way.
You can check BBC Weather and google weather for coming cities / areas or IMD predictions for states in North India.
I also like greenery in plains and prefer green routes better than normal routes.
Greenery will be good in plains and hills too.
But no greenery at Ladakh's higher passes.
LOL !

Thanks for such a detailed suggestions/advices.
Yes, we all have to be very cautious while driving in mountains in that weather specially, first we need to be healthy I mean fit enough to experience that unpredictable climate secondly driving first time in such terrain.
We are very excited as this will be our first ever long journey by self driven car to a dream destination and back via several other attractions/Cities, which will be approximately 8000 kms total.
Specially for this dreamt trip we bought a new car Maruti’ latest launched “GRAND VITARA” whose long driving reviews are yet to submit, hopefully will be able to put once this trip is successfully completed.
However we will be seeking advices regularly from all of you for this trip.
Thanks !
