Overview
No wonder Kerala is rightly called ‘God's Own Country', as you will find a bit of all shade of climate here! Whether you want to enjoy the icy cool hills, the countryside calmness, the coastline winds, or the clear waterfalls, you can truly enjoy all this in Kerala. Today, this Southern state of India is known to be one of the favorite spots for tourists from all over the world.
You can get a feel of the ice-capped mountains, the plush tea gardens, the romantic boathouse rides, and even adventurous hikes in forests and other forest reserves in the state. The tourist trips are affordable, safe, and most of all – you will have reliable guides who give an overview of the place, its history, and also stunning places where you can indulge in some local shopping and also try out some of the lip-smacking local cuisines.
Kerala in itself is loaded with greenery, making it a hotspot for those who are looking for ecotourism venues. It is a haven of flora and fauna within a technological and fast-moving breed of adaptable people. The culture is welcoming and the locals love to share their experiences of Kerala living in its true, holistic sense. On the environmental front, the state is doing its bit to harness natural resources and one major example for this would be the world-famous Cochin International Airport. They executed one of the largest solar energy operated airports in the world, and it is a masterpiece of renewable energy in itself.
Do you know the best time to visit Kerala?
Well, since this is a state with a tropical climate, you will experience two monsoon shower seasons in a year. One is predominantly the monsoon between June – August (and that is the heavy one) and the other is between October- November (relax, guys, that is pretty calm, showery- so it is cool to experience). Otherwise, on the whole, the state is sunny, humid, and it has pleasant windy days too. The higher altitudes like Thekkady are cool, misty, and great for honeymoons, or if you would like to sit back and just enjoy the serene village life of rural Kerala.
