South India and Kerala Overview
Why South India & Kerala: This beautiful part of India is a wonderful complement to any north India holiday, offering a more tropical climate, gentle landscapes, colonial cities and very flamboyant temple architecture.
When to Go: It is never cold in most of southern India; however in the hill stations it can drop to 5°C in the “winter” months. For the best weather, visit during the relatively cooler and less humid season, between Oct- Feb. This is also a good time to see some of the more interesting festivals. Mar, Apr, and May are hot and humid whilst the mid-year monsoon period sees heavy rains.
Combine With: North India’s Golden Triangle and Rajasthan, or the little island of Sri Lanka, just off the coast of south India.
Getting There: Fly into Bangalore, Chennai or Kochi.
