Best time to visit Kerala

The best time to visit Kerala, a picturesque state in southwestern India known as "God's Own Country," largely depends on your preferences and the experiences you seek. Kerala experiences three distinct seasons:

Winter (October to February)

This is generally considered the best time to visit Kerala. The weather is pleasant, with mild temperatures and little to no rainfall. It's an excellent time for sightseeing, outdoor activities, and enjoying the beaches, backwaters, and hill stations. The famous Kerala festivals like Onam are celebrated during this season.

Summer (March to May)

Kerala's summer season can be quite hot and humid, especially in the coastal areas. However, this is a good time to visit the hill stations like Munnar and Wayanad, where the weather remains cool and refreshing. Beaches can also be enjoyable in the evenings.

Monsoon (June to September)

Kerala experiences heavy monsoon rains during these months. While the lush green landscapes are at their most vibrant during the monsoon, it can be challenging for travel due to the continuous rainfall, flooding, and potential roadblocks. However, if you enjoy the rain and want to experience Kerala's backwaters at their fullest, this season could be appealing. Just be prepared for travel disruptions. Weather will be hot and extremely humid.

In summary, the best time to visit Kerala for most travelers is during the winter months, from October to February, when the weather is comfortable and ideal for exploring the various attractions of the state. However, if you specifically want to enjoy the beauty of the monsoon season, you can plan your visit during the rainy months, but be prepared for weather-related challenges.
