The bright side

  • Waterfalls- Well-known ones become fuller and heavier, worth sighting. Newer smaller ones get created, with heavy rainfall. A laidback holiday is what you can enjoy during this time with lesser fuss over sightseeing.
  • Ayurveda deems Monsoon as the best season to plunge into body and soul rejuvenation therapies. Dust-free, cool atmosphere maximizes the opening of the body pores, allowing herbal oils and therapy to work wonders on the body.
  • Off season deals and discounts- Kerala Tourism offers deep discounts to make the place attractive to the potential honeymooners and other tourists. You get better accommodation in same price compared to peak tourist seasons.

The flip side

  • Don’t sulk if frequent rains and rough sea spoils your plan to spend time on beach. Still you can expect some off days for rainfall.
  • Heavy rains can make some waterfalls dangerous and thus closed. So always have some alternative on mind.

Things to consider

  • Vegetarians can have difficulty picking up food from menu due to preference of non-veg dishes.
  • Kerala tour packages can be dearer than packages for other quaint tourist places. So be mentally prepared to spend more for everything.
  • As monsoons might get delayed, planning honeymoon in late June or July ensures that you can enjoy your rainy vacations with your beloved.
