Monsoon in Kerala
There is a debate over the likability of monsoon. Of course, those who dislike the rains have good reasons, given the dirt, muck, water-logging, and traffic congestion. But, on the other hand, there are those who love the monsoon, especially if you know where to look for inspiration. Monsoon in Kerala is the be-all and end-all of the rainy season in India. The spectacularly beautiful state becomes even better during the rains; this is mainly because its overall natural beauty compliments the monsoon so well. Indian monsoon season starts from the state of Kerala; this year, monsoon officially began after its first shower in Kerala during the first week of June.
Romance on a boat
The houseboat experience in the backwaters of Kerala is definitely worth a hundred random experiences, especially when it has rained. Take your beloved along with you this monsoon season to Kerala, and let monsoon magic take over when the two of you boat on the backwaters. Alappuzha is a very popular destination to experience houseboat.
Become a beach bum
The state of Kerala has a lot of beaches, and most of them are virginal. These beaches are mostly devoid of crowds and are a lot cleaner than most other beaches in the country. The monsoon can swell the sea water, so you should be careful before visiting a particular beach, but nonetheless, we assure a spectacular view, and a wonderful time. Some beaches to go to in Kerala are Bekal Beach, Cherai Beach, and Papanasam Beach, among others.
See the hills come alive
Who said Kerala is only about the sea? Come to its famous hill stations to experience the charm of monsoon. Kerala’s Munnar hill station is one of the most beautiful places in the state, and the looming clouds with the smell of earth are just the perfect way to romance the rain. But you also have Thekkady, Vagamon, and more.
Enjoy solitude
Kerala is mostly a winter destination, so monsoons would be fairly empty. You can even expect some great discounts on hotel bookings. While there could be some people who would like to experience monsoon in this beautiful state, there are fewer people during this time of the year.
Drink filter coffee and seek serenity
Of course, you can try filter coffee in any city, but we suggest that this monsoon you sit back and drink a cup of filter coffee while watching the rain in Kerala. Nothing beats a cool breeze, romantic environs, and a lovely cup of coffee.
