# What are the top places to visit in Kerala?



## Answers

### Answer by Stijn Michiels

Kerala, often called God’s Own Country, offers:

- **Alleppey and Kumarakom** for houseboat stays on the backwaters.
- **Munnar** for tea gardens and cool weather.
- **Kochi** for Fort Kochi, Chinese fishing nets and Kathakali shows.
- **Thekkady** for Periyar wildlife sanctuary and spice plantations.
- **Varkala and Kovalam** for beaches and cliffs.
- **Wayanad** for forests and waterfalls.

October to March is the most comfortable time, while the monsoon is popular for Ayurveda treatments.
