Kerala has a moderate climate with a temperature that doesn’t change drastically during the different seasons. Though October-March is considered ideal, the monsoon months of June – August are just the right time for Ayurvedic Treatments. The Thrissurpooram at Thrissur, held every year in the month of May is something you cannot afford to miss. The favourable climatic conditions are one of the reasons why tourists choose to visit Kerala at any time of the year.
