Questions travellers ask
Good to know
Is September a good time to visit Kerala?
A green, lightly showery month with festival energy. Onam often falls in early September, with the great vegetarian feast on a banana leaf, floral carpets outside homes and the Pulikali tiger dancers in Thrissur. Crowds are domestic and prices are still below peak. Munnar's waterfalls are full and the estates are lush. It is a good month for travellers who prefer culture to beach days.
What is the weather like in Kerala in September?
Kochi 24–30 °C, lighter 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 September?
We suggest Fort Kochi, Thrissur, Munnar. Ask us to arrange an Onam sadya lunch with a family rather than at a hotel.
