A Guide to the Perfect Honeymoon in Kerala

 

With its backwaters, greenery, and scenic places, Kerala is a top choice for you to go on a romantic honeymoon tour. We know you are excited. That’s why you are here. Thus we, as India By Car and Driver, created this handy honeymoon guide for you. So carry it next time you plan to go on a honeymoon in Kerala. 

The ideal time for a honeymoon in Kerala

Kerala can be a year-round location for you, given that you select the best cities as per the weather conditions. So here’s a small guide to plan the timing of your Kerala honeymoon tour.



March to May: The climate is blazing and highly humid. So we would recommend picking one of the top hill stations of Kerala and avoiding beaches & backwaters.

May-end to September: This is the time when Kerala receives southwest monsoons with heavy downpours. You will enjoy Kerala rejuvenating its greenery with an enchanting natural spectrum all around. Select ayurvedic resorts to enjoy skin refreshing treatments or a festival place to celebrate Snake Boat Races and Onam, the state’s grand festivals. 

October to February: This is the perfect duration to visit Kerala; the weather is the same as the North East monsoons and winters with extremely relaxing weather and peak tourist season. Backwater houseboats, beaches, tropical forests, waterfalls, bird sanctuaries as well as dazzling Dravidian architecture are the attractions that will lure you in.

Essentials you should pack for your Kerala honeymoon tour

Let’s look at the clothes and things you should pack for your honeymoon tour.

       For a winter Kerala honeymoon tour, remember to pack woolens and moisturizers, especially when you pick a place like Thekkady or Munnar that might be naturally cold during the early morning time.

       Cotton clothes and light woolens are enough when you visit beach and backwaters regions.

       One essential tool is mosquito repellent, especially when you schedule a Kerala backwater tour for your honeymoon.

       Other things you must pack without fail, regardless of the weather, include sunglasses, sunscreen lotions, skincare products, and other sun protection items.

       If you wish to go on trekking, trekking shoes are a must.

Tips for Kerala honeymoon tour

These tips will ensure that your honeymoon experience in Kerala is none other than the best.

       Numerous restaurants, hotels, and other businesses do not accept credit cards, so you should have cash arrangements; however, there are ATMs all over, so you don’t need huge wads.

       You must receive Ayurveda treatments at certified Ayurveda centers and parlors only.

       Bank timings in India for money withdrawal are generally between 2:00 to 3:00 PM. Bank holidays usually fall on the second and fourth Saturday, so you should check accordingly.

       If you have planned a houseboat journey, reaching the commencement point before noon is crucial.

       We strongly advise you to install useful apps on your mobile devices to keep track of essential routes, places, and tourist data.  

       Don’t pay unnecessary fees to touts and guides offering attractive deals. Instead, we strongly advise you to find out the timings and costs of the attractions you wish to stop over.
