Faqs
Fort Kochi, Mattancherry Palace, Bolgatty Palace, Indo Portuguese Museum, Cherai Beach, and Kerala Kathakali Centre are popular attractions in Kochi.
Cochin offers a blend of historical, cultural, and scenic spots. Visitors often explore Fort Kochi, known for its colonial architecture, the Chinese Fishing Nets, Mattancherry Palace, Jewish Synagogue, and the backwaters.
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.
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.
