This is an attempt at listing the various conditions during these seasons and ascertaining the best time to visit Thekkady for travellers.

Climate in Thekkady
Summer Season in Thekkady
Summer in Thekkady is the shortest season, with it being really hot during March, April and May. Heat and humidity are hallmarks of the climate during the summers with temperatures ranging in between 26 and 36 degrees celsius. However, thanks to the canopy cover of the forest, early mornings and evenings still tend to be fairly pleasant. Another important factor to be considered is that during summer, most animals are out and about in search of water. That makes the summer season the best time to visit Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary for most tourists looking to observe the wildlife. This is also the season for most tour groups and wildlife camps to visit the sanctuary. Rates also tend to be lesser at this time. The Chithrapournami celebrations take place in April/May and it’s the only time that the Mangaladevi temple is open for devotees.Â

Monsoon Season in Thekkady
Monsoon season in Thekkady has a charm of it’s own. The surroundings come to life with the rains and the temperature drops after the heat of the summer, making everything pleasant. With Thekkady boasting forests and plantations as it’s main attractions, the lush greenery that comes with the monsoon is something that needs to be experienced. However, getting to see animals becomes a bit of a tough task with visibility dropping as well. This makes the monsoon the ideal time to visit Chellarkovil though, as the vibrant landscape and the bubbling waterfalls are at their best during this season. Anyone visiting Thekkady at this time however, is advised to carry protective clothing and umbrellas as the showers can get fairly heavy.
It is evident though, that there is no real best time to visit Thekkady and merely a question of what the traveller is looking for.

I enjoyed my stay in Munnar and hotel was great. I did not enjoy the house boat experience at all. I would say it was pathetic. Promises made to me were not fullfilled which was sad. I had great hopes which were shattered.
