Kerala has a balanced climate throughout the year and you do not experience extreme hot or cold
We recommend you to carry woolen clothes if your itinerary includes Munnar or Thekkady as they are cold places
Try to have a balanced Itinerary between traveling and destinations covered. Don’t try to cover more places if you have less days to spend
If you are at Munnar, you require atleast 2 nights to enjoy this beautiful place
Thekkady requires only one day if you are a normal traveler. If you are interested in adventure activities you can stay for 2 or 3 nights
While finalizing the Itinerary check about the hotels selected in google and make sure those are as per your preferences. Check standard of hotel as well their locations. This is purely a subjective matter and make sure you do some research on this. Some people like to stay in heart of city but some love to get away from the city.
