Cochin experiences a tropical monsoon climate. The weather is generally hot and humid with heavy rainfall during the monsoon season (June to September). The best time to visit is from October to March when the weather is relatively cooler and pleasant.
Cochin is renowned for its delicious seafood dishes like fish curry, appam (rice pancakes), and traditional Kerala meals served on a banana leaf. Don't miss trying the local specialties like Karimeen Pollichathu (pearl spot fish) and Kerala-style prawn curry.
The backwaters around Cochin are best explored through houseboat cruises that take you through the scenic network of lakes, canals, and lagoons. These cruises offer a tranquil experience amidst lush greenery and serene waters.
The most common ways to reach Munnar are by road or air. You can either hire a taxi or take a bus from nearby cities like Kochi or Coimbatore. The nearest airport is Cochin International Airport (COK), approximately 110 kilometers away from Munnar
Munnar is famous for its lush tea plantations, which cover the rolling hills and create breathtaking landscapes. It's also known for its stunning natural beauty, wildlife sanctuaries, and cool climate.
