Backwaters, tea hills and quiet coasts
Kerala fits a lot into a small state: a night on a houseboat in Alleppey, tea estates and spice walks in Munnar, wildlife at Thekkady and beach time in Kovalam. Drives are short and green, which makes it one of the easiest destinations to plan for families and first-time travellers.

September to March is comfortable and dry. If you are coming specifically for Ayurveda treatments, the monsoon months are traditionally considered the most effective and are much quieter.
