Kerala enjoys balmy weather throughout the year. Unlike northern part of India, it never gets too cold during winter and summers are not as severe as in other parts of the country. Generally the weather is cool and some mornings are light misty. Days are warm (but not hot) and though there is humidity it is not daunting. The result is that Kerala is a destination that is accessible year round.   YOUR TRAVEL BAG A pair of warm clothing to take care of the chilly weather in the mountains and forests.   Cotton casuals for the rest of the tour.
