Tourists can visit Thekkady throughout the year as it has a moderate climate. However, the best time to enjoy at Thekkady is from September to March.
People must-visit places like:
- Periyar National Park
- Periyar Tiger Trail
- Bamboo Rafting
- Thekkady Lake
- Green Park Ayurvedic Spice Plantation
- Mudra Cultural Centre
Both are equally good. Munnar is comparatively cooler than Thekkady. Thekkady also has more trekking options available and Munnar is far more stunning. It really depends on what you like.
Situated in the heart of the jungle, Thekkady is widely known for its wildlife and dense forests. This destination is home to lion-tailed macaques, lions, sambar, elephants, and many other animals.
Apart from enjoying jungle safari in Periyar National Park, one can indulge in many other enticing activities in Thekkady. Some of those are:
- Boating in Periyar Lake
- Forest Patrol at night with forest guards and authorities
- Trek to Ramakkalmedu
Some of the best things which couples can enjoy on their trip to Alleppey are:
- Ayurvedic spa treatment
- Houseboat stay
- Enjoy sunset at Marari Beach
- Relish some authentic seafood dishes
- Enjoy bird watching
Alleppey is renowned for its backwaters, where houseboat cruises offer a unique experience. The Alappuzha Beach, Vembanad Lake, Alleppey Lighthouse, and the traditional Kerala snake boat races are also popular attractions.
The best time to visit Alleppey is from November to February when the weather is pleasant, and you can enjoy the backwaters comfortably. The monsoon season (June to September) also has its charm, but it's better suited for experiencing the lush greenery rather than boat rides.
Alleppey offers delicious Kerala cuisine. Some must-try dishes include Karimeen Pollichathu (fish preparation), Meen Curry (fish curry), Appam with Stew, and traditional Sadhya meals served on a banana leaf.
Varkala Beach stands out for its striking cliffs that run adjacent to the shoreline, offering breathtaking views of the Arabian Sea. It's known for its natural beauty, relaxed atmosphere, and the juxtaposition of the golden sands against the towering cliffs.
Besides the beach, Varkala boasts attractions like the Janardanaswamy Temple, Sivagiri Mutt, and the Varkala Tunnel. Additionally, the mineral springs at Varkala are believed to have medicinal properties and draw visitors seeking their therapeutic benefits.
The best time to visit Varkala is during the winter season, from November to March, when the weather is pleasant and ideal for beach activities. The monsoon season, from June to September, can be beautiful but may limit beach access due to rough seas.
Varkala offers various activities such as swimming, sunbathing, surfing, parasailing, and paragliding. It's also a great place for yoga and Ayurvedic treatments, with many centers offering classes and therapies.
The local cuisine in Varkala is diverse and flavorful, with plenty of seafood options due to its coastal location. You'll find traditional Kerala dishes like fish curry, appam, and seafood delicacies prepared with authentic spices and flavors. There's also a range of international cuisines available due to the town's popularity among tourists.
A trip of 2-3 days would be enough to witness the best of Kovalam. To make the most of your Kovalam trip package , you can go sightseeing and indulge in outdoor activities.
Lip-smacking street food such as Puttu, Kerala Appam, Kappa and Karimeen will take your taste buds on a culinary ride!
Located at a distance of about 15 kilometres, the Trivandrum International Airports the nearest airport to Kovalam.
November to February, during winters.
Most local transfers will be included in our packages but otherwise, buses are available in Kovalam. However these busses are not reliable hence it is advisable to opt for taxis or autos for travelling within Kovalam.
