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.
