Best Time to Visit Kerala
Best Time To Visit: August to March (for exploring
Kerala); April and August (for getting Ayurvedic treatments)
Every traveler has a different purpose and requirement from a destination
that he/she travels to. And if it is a destination like Kerala, then the
choice really becomes difficult as the land offers so many unique things
to the visitors. No wonder that Kerala, blessed with great natural beauty
and diverse ecology, has been bestowed with honors like one of the "ten
paradises of the world" and "50 places of a lifetime" by the National
Geographic Traveler Magazine. Whether it's the serene backwaters or the
splendid hill stations, the stunning beaches or the rich cultural aspects,
there is so much to explore in Kerala. Due to its close proximity to sea,
the climate of Kerala is neither too hot nor too cold. This has made
Kerala an all-season destination, although the period between October and
April are considered best, as this time offers moderate temperatures
around Kerala, making it ideal to visit the marvelous state.
Traditionally, the period from August to March has been considered a good
time to travel to Kerala and the period between April and August is
considered the best time for getting Ayurvedic treatments, for which
Kerala is renowned worldwide. This way, Kerala deems to be an all season
destination. However, carry an umbrella because Kerala has a knack of
throwing up sudden bursts of showers irrespective of whatever month it is.
The period from June to July and October to November, which used to be
considered off season due to monsoons, has also started seeing a good
influx of visitors. In fact, the monsoon period, with the atmosphere
remaining cool and dust free, allowing for opening up the pores of the
body, is considered ideal for Ayurvedic treatments.
