Hotels in Kerala, India

Kerala is a tropical state on India's southwestern coast, famous for its serene backwaters, lush spice plantations, and ancient Ayurveda traditions. With temperatures between 77-95°F (25-35°C) year-round, winter (November to February) is ideal for gliding through Alleppey's palm-fringed canals on a houseboat, while summer rains (June to August) bring fresh life to Munnar's rolling tea gardens-perfect for guided plantation walks and cooking classes. Don't miss distinct zones: the coast for sandy beaches and seafood at Kovalam, or the hill country for misty viewpoints over the Western Ghats.
