The trails on the Annapurna Base Camp Trek in September are not that bad. They, actually, get better as the month goes on because the monsoon season is ending. The lower parts of the forest can be a bit damp in September, but it gets much drier and safer to walk on as the month goes on.
From our experience guiding trekkers to Annapurna Base Camp every September, we find that leeches are mostly in the forests between Jhinu Danda, Chhomrong and Bamboo in the first half of the month. You do not have to worry that much because they are not found above 3,000 m and they become very rare as the weather gets drier. So, all you need is a pair of waterproof hiking boots, trekking poles and some salt or leech-repellent spray to make your trek comfortable.
