Best Time to Visit Munnar

Summers are pleasant in Munnar. As the period between the low season, which is humid and wet, and the peak season, which is crowded, many consider summer the ideal time to visit Munnar. The temperatures remain between 15 and 27 degrees Celsius, and although it rains often, the rains are mild and infrequent. It is a great time to go sightseeing and immerse oneself in the place's culture, nature, and history. Summer is the best season to visit Munnar for those looking for a budget holiday during a pleasant time to travel around the state.

The lakes and waterfalls of Munnar come into full force during the monsoon season. Like the rest of Kerala, Munnar transforms into a pastoral green world. The plantations and hills are exquisite after a shower of rain. The very air has an earthy sweetness that can’t be experienced any other time. Do, however, pack your rainwear and gumboots, and bring your umbrellas and windcheaters in case you encounter a sudden downpour. It rains about 20 out of 30 days each month, which is why not many people visit Munnar during monsoon, and it is technically considered the off-season for tourism.

The best season to visit Munnar is, of course, the winter. When else can you sip warm, aromatic tea gazing at the sunset through the hills? Explore charming sites such as Lockhart Tea Factory, Top Station and Mount Carmel Church. Munnar's winter climate is nothing short of magical. The temperature remains between 10 and 24 degrees Celsius, and in regions of extreme altitude, it can even drop below the freezing point sometimes. The crispy, chilly climate makes you want to snuggle next to a bonfire, enjoy warm cocoa, and sing Christmas carols.
