In general, the winter season (October-February) is perfect for the majority of people because it is dry and there are no rains. Hill lovers on a tight budget can also enjoy the period between March to June because this time covers summer. During the monsoons (June-September), lovers can enjoy the greenery but we must warn that it&#8217;s a tricky season.<\/p>\n<p>Without a doubt, Alleppey\u2019s calm and Munnar\u2019s crisp define my winter king. But what do you want out of this trip? Whatever it is, it can be done, and the best part is that there are no Viking settlements to have to worry about &#8211; it\u2019s all there in Kerala, just ready and waiting for you.
