3. Relax & rejuvenate to Ayurveda treatment
There’s no better time to pamper yourself to Ayurveda treatment than monsoons in Kerala (June to November) and September is just the right time as there’s still time for rains to disappear. According to Ayurveda, the cool, pleasant season of the rains is the ideal time for rejuvenation. It is when the pores of our body open up to the maximum and thus making it most receptive to herbal oil and therapy. Treat yourself to Kerala’s ancient traditional medicinal knowledge and refresh your body, mind and soul. Kovallam, Alappuzha, Cochin, Thekkady, Wayanad and Kumarakom are among the few best Ayurveda destinations in Kerala.
4. Romance the Greens
Kerala turns romantic during September as it’s also monsoon time here. This state turns even more stunning when it rains, it’s when the greens here are at their brightest best. You must definitely go to destinations such as Alleppey, Wayanad, Kovalam, Kumarakom and more to witness nature at its best.
5. Avail great seasonal discounts
September traditionally is the best time to visit Kerala because monsoons would just have been over and rains would have eased ensuring that the climate is cool, fresh, green and dust-free. The best part of it is that rates will be substantial in most hotels, home-stays, houseboats and almost on everything here offering great discounts. Remember Kerala is quite expensive in peak season, and planning for the low season may get you the best of both worlds – half the rate discounts and the best experience with less crowd all across Kerala.
