athira holidays - Some useful tips while you travel
athira holidays invites you to visit South India, the land below the vindhyas, with its age old temples within whose walls lingers an air with stories to tell, bewitching beaches that bring back memories, serene back waters which leave you numb, mystical mountains that echo fables untold, long stretching paddy fields which leave you enthralled…all this and much more…..without forgetting its ever friendly people who lead their lives in a much simpler fashion.
Best time to visit
During day time we have a pleasant atmosphere throughout the year. The best season to visit Kerala is between October and April. If one is looking for Ayurvedic treatments, experts suggest the best time as the Monsoon days – from June to September. We have cool nights during December & January. No winter clothes required for Kerala. At Hill stations, like Munnar, Wayanad etc. the temperature falls to a level where we need to light woolen dresses at night only if one takes a walk in the open.

Keeping Cotton outfits, hats, sunglasses, sunscreen lotions etc. with you will be a nice idea.
