Kerala has been hailed as the number one destination in India and it has also been counted amongst the best holiday places in the world. The esteemed National Geographic Magazine had once rhapsodized about its beauty by including it in its list of the top 50 places on the planet. It is no wonder than Kerala tourism has been thriving over the past decade with both locals and foreigners dashing to its backwater regions throughout the year.
Kerala, as a friendly south Indian state, suffers from no climatic or geographical barriers. Hence, it can be toured round the year without any issue. One can visit the state even during the summer and also during the monsoon for savoring its plush wetness. But by common consent, the best time to visit Kerala is between the months of October and April. This is the dry season of the year and even if it rains, it rarely downpours. So, one can sightsee without any hassle and enjoy the best natural locales in their entirety.
The months of April-August are also considered good especially if you are seeking Ayurvedic rejuvenation. Ayurveda is local to this state and tourists from every part of the world often land in Kerala to seek respite from their physical or mental problems by indulging in Ayurveda spas. The monsoon season is very breezy and the weather is perfect for such Ayurveda sessions. So, there is no reason why you should cancel your plans during these months.
Kerala is a destination which has something new to offer at every stage of the year. So, if you are visiting during the spring, you are likely to be greeted with some really exuberant flora and fauna at places like Munnar. If you are visiting during the monsoon, then you can opt for the best Ayurveda treatment which Kerala tourism has to offer. And if you visit after the monsoons, then you will find the backwaters filled to the brim, giving you the most enriching experience of houseboats.
There are many tourist attractions in the state. Regions like Alleppey make themselves stand out because of their natural beauty. The poetic lagoons which the place has can really make your own metro city appear so jaded and prosaic. Munnar, the hill station, is another favorite destination to visit in the state. It is a fabulous honeymoon site and is frequented by young couples nearly round the year. Cochin is another topmost attraction and its old forts and decadent temples can melt the heart the right way.
For its multiple attractions and ethereal beauty, Kerala can be crowned as the best Indian holiday destination. No wonder, why they say that there is no best time to visit Kerala! It can be toured anytime and every time.
