Better to Avoid Tour Trip to Kerala Till October

Kerala is considered to be one of the most exotic tourist destinations in India and is held in high respect by non Keralites. They all consider Kerala as 'God's Own Country' and a place worth visiting through out the year. But this is indeed wrong. There are certain months during which you should really avoid visiting Kerala, as it would ruin your tour and money.

One of my friend from Delhi visited Kerala with his family 2 Weeks back. As we know that Kerala is blessed with monsoon rains during the months of June to October and one would get really fed up due to the constant rain that deprives us from going outside. My friend had heard about the beauty of Kerala and its important tourist destinations and as a result planned to come down with his family. He had many plans like visiting the famous beaches of Kerala, hill stations of Kerala, exotic backwaters of Kerala and many more.

But from the day he landed in Cochin he started to complain me over the phone about the continuous heavy rains that prevailed in Kerala. He had already searched for some hotels and resorts in Cochin and had booked one near Nedumbaserry Airport. He spend 3 valuable days in that hotel and in the 4th day there was some respite from the rains. He first headed to Alleppey or Alappuzha and also arranged a guide to help him see the most important tourist places in Alappuzha. But after hours reaching Alleppey the rain started playing havoc with his holiday plans and he was left stranded.

After dropping his plans to cover the tourist destinations in Alleppey he headed towards Munnar to visit its majestic hill stations. But again the rain followed him and his visit to Munnar seemed to be quite miserable.  He called me again and I told him that there are no places in Kerala which is free from rain during these months and I really felt helpless.

By then his holidays came to an end and he seemed totally disappointed at having losing his valuable time and money by visiting Kerala at a time which is not at all suitable for tourism activities. Anyway has promised to be back in Kerala once the monsoon is over and hopes to make amends that time.
