Hotels in Kerala, India

Kerala sits on India's southwestern coast, where a tropical climate keeps things warm year-round-think 77-90°F (25-32°C)-with dry winters from November to February that are perfect for floating through the palm-fringed backwaters on a houseboat. When the summer monsoon hits from June to September, the hills of Munnar turn emerald green and the tea plantations are at their most vibrant, so you can hike misty trails and watch tea leaves being plucked. In the shoulder seasons, you can score cheaper rates on Ayurveda treatments in Kovalam or spot wild elephants at Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary-what kind of adventure are you craving?
