The best time to visit Kerala is from September to February. This is also the peak season in Kerala as the weather is pleasant with mild temperatures and lower humidity levels, making it ideal for exploring Kerala's backwaters, beaches, hill stations, and cultural attractions.Additionally, this period coincides with the festive season in Kerala, offering travelers the opportunity to witness vibrant Onam and cultural events. However, it's essential to note that specific activities such as houseboat cruises may be more popular and expensive during peak tourist season, so planning and booking in advance is recommended for a smooth and enjoyable trip.
While summers (March to May) make the state too hot and the monsoons (June - August) can receiver downpour that can heavier than imagined and is not entirely advisable to all tourists. However, destinations like Munnar, Idukki, Ponmudi etc are Summer destinations while Kovalam, Alleppey, Athirapally etc are best visited in Monsoons. Hence Kerala can be a beautiful amalgamation of festivals, scenic views and the much talked about Ayurvedic treatments throughout the year.
