Questions travellers ask
Good to know
Is June a good time to visit Kerala?
The south-west monsoon usually reaches Kerala around 1 June and the first weeks bring the heaviest rain of the year. The sea is rough and swimming is unsafe on every beach. For general touring we advise against it, but this is the start of the season Kerala's Ayurvedic doctors prefer: the air is cool and moist, the pores open and treatments are thought to work best. Retreat rates are lower too.
What is the weather like in Kerala in June?
Kochi 24–29 °C, heavy rain. Conditions differ by altitude and coast, so check the forecast for each stop a week before you travel.
Where should we go in Kerala in June?
We suggest Kovalam, Kumarakom, Munnar. Choose a retreat with covered walkways between rooms and treatment rooms.
