Best Time to Visit
Kerala is one of those places which have the best climate in the country, throughout the year. It doesn’t matter when you come; the place always succeeds in offering you something in return. If I have to suggest a time, then I would advise you to come here in the summer. The special tinge, the summer sun gives to the green blanket which covers Kerala is unparalleled in its beauty. Make sure that you don’t visit the place in the monsoons, because this hinders your chances of exploration.
