Kerala, often called “God’s Own Country,” is a lush paradise where palm-lined beaches meet misty hill stations, and tranquil backwaters flow past vibrant villages. Whether you’re craving adventure, wellness, culture, or just a break from the chaos, Kerala offers it all:
- Backwaters in Alleppey & Kumarakom
- Hill stations like Munnar & Wayanad
- Beaches in Varkala & Kovalam
- Wildlife in Thekkady & Wayanad
- Culture & heritage in Kochi & Thrissur
- Ayurveda & wellness retreats across the state
✅ Dos for a Smooth Kerala Experience
- Respect local customs: Dress modestly at temples; remove shoes and avoid leather items inside sacred spaces.
- Try local cuisine: Sadya (vegetarian feast), Kerala fish curry, appam with stew—eating with your hands is culturally appreciated.
- Use eco-friendly transport: Ferries, bicycles, and certified houseboats are great for sustainable travel.
- Explore responsibly: Visit eco-tourism hubs like Thenmala, Wayanad, and Thekkady for forest treks and bamboo rafting.
- Learn basic Malayalam phrases: “Namaskaram” (hello) and “Nanni” (thank you) go a long way.
- Book early: Especially during festivals like Onam or peak seasons.
❌ Don’ts to Avoid Travel Mishaps
- Don’t visit during peak monsoon if you dislike rain: June–September can bring heavy showers and disrupt travel plans.
- Avoid overpacking your itinerary: Kerala is best enjoyed slowly—leave room for spontaneity.
- Don’t litter or use plastic: Kerala promotes eco-tourism—carry reusable bottles and bags.
- Skip beach swimming during rough tides: Always follow lifeguard instructions.
- Don’t ignore cultural etiquette: Public displays of affection are frowned upon; be mindful in rural and religious areas.
