Is Kerala good to visit during monsoon?

Houseboat availability is limited but some operators still run trips.

How many days are enough for Kerala?

A minimum of 7 days is recommended to cover Kerala's key highlights: Kochi, Munnar, Thekkady, Alleppey, and Kovalam. With 10 days you can add Wayanad or Kumarakom for a more relaxed pace.

What is the cheapest time to visit Kerala?

April-May (summer) and the early monsoon period (June-July) offer the lowest hotel rates and fewer crowds. However, heat in May can be intense (30–35°C) and monsoon brings heavy rain. For value with pleasant weather, October–November is the sweet spot.
