Best Time To Visit Kerala
Plan your trip during best season to experience the best of this stunning destination
Though Kerala is a year-round destination, the best season to visit Kerala depends on which place in Kerala you're visiting. While some places are most enjoyable during the monsoons, others are best visited during the winter season. Overall, the best time to visit Kerala is during September to March, when the weather is pleasant, making it easy for tourists to explore the myriad facets of the state - the hill stations, beaches and backwaters.
The best time to visit backwaters in Kerala is the winter season, which is from November through February. It is when the weather in Kerala is pleasant for local sightseeing and boat excursions in the backwaters. Being the peak tourist season, winter is also the best time to visit Kerala with family for a memorable holiday. On the other hand, the hill stations in Kerala like Munnar receive thousands of visitors in the summer season, from April to June. It is not advisable to visit Kerala in monsoon season.
Whatever you seek - adventure or peace and tranquility, your Kerala trip will offer you all such experiences and more. Such is the beauty of a journey to Kerala! Honeymooners, families, solo travelers and friends traveling in a group are sure to find their own slice of heaven in Kerala, thereby each coming up with their own version of the best time to go to Kerala.
All in all, the best season to visit Kerala depends on what you wish to experience in Kerala, and where. Just adjust your itinerary as per the season, and you can cover as many destinations as you like within a short time frame.

Climate in Kerala
Summer Season in Kerala
Summers in Kerala are from March to May, and this is when the weather is hot and humid in most parts of the state. The humidity makes it hard to enjoy sightseeing, although it does get cooler in the evenings. Hill stations remain cool during summers as well, so one can surely visit places like Munnar, Thekkady, or Wayanad during the summers. Places such as Kochi, Alleppey, and Kumarakom, on the other hand, turn too humid and uncomfortable for being outdoors. But that doesn't deter tourists from taking advantage of the lower off-season prices.

My Kerala trip with travel triangle was amazing experience. Online support travel agent Sadeep Kumar was very Co-operative. Worth my money. I would like to tell that one should go with travel triangle for making your trip memorable. Wanted to tell you that our Kerala trip was amazing. The resort , food and tour were perfect. Our favorite part of the trip was boathouse. Universal travel triangle thanks for making our trip a memorable one.

Other than Munnar.. all hotels we're good. I have asked for Misty Mountain However trip agent insisted for Elysium Garden and it was pathetic experience there. Cab and driver was good. Very courteous. Very well known to all routes in Kerala.. Houseboat was also good. Thekkady and sightseeing in Kerala

The only downside of the entire trip for which I have given only 3 stars for the hotels is that Seven Springs Plantation resort at Munnar was a big let down. Definitely not worth its price.
