Best Time To Visit The State

The winter season is the finest time to visit Kerala. Kerala provides a comfortable and pleasant tourism atmosphere during the winter months of December to February. The monsoon season can also be magical for those who enjoy the aroma of the earth and the sound of rain. Unlike in other parts of the world, the monsoons in Kerala do not last for days or weeks. It only rains for a few hours per day. 

During the monsoon season, visitors can enjoy a refreshing ambience and witness Kerala's rich green scenery. Honeymooners can enjoy the cool darkness of monsoon or enjoy the odd ray of sun at the beach if they want to visit Kerala in September and stay in classic hotels in Kerala.

During your visit, it will take you through the rich cultural heritage of Kerala through traditional dances (Kathakali and Mohini Attam) and martial arts (Kalaripayattu). 

The summer in Kerala lasts from March to June. In most South Indian states and cities, these are the hottest months. However, hill stations like Munnar, Thekkady, and Wayanad in Kerala remain cool in summer. Travellers enjoy visiting hill stations in summer.
