Explore →Which is better: Varkala or Kovalam?
It depends on the type of holiday you want.
Varkala is particularly known for its dramatic cliff, cafés, sea views and relaxed atmosphere.
Kovalam is an established resort destination close to Thiruvananthapuram and offers several beaches, hotels and resorts.
Travellers interested in a younger, cliff-side atmosphere may prefer Varkala, while those seeking a traditional resort-oriented beach destination may prefer Kovalam.
Which are the best places to visit in Kerala?
Some of Kerala's most popular tourist destinations include:
- Munnar – tea plantations and mountain scenery
- Alappuzha (Alleppey) – backwaters and houseboats
- Varkala – beach, cliffs and coastal atmosphere
- Kovalam – established beach destination
- Kochi – history, culture and urban experiences
- Wayanad – forests, hills and plantations
- Thekkady – nature and wildlife experiences
- Kumarakom – backwaters and resorts
- Athirappilly – famous waterfall
- Bekal – fort and beaches
Is Kerala good during the monsoon?
Yes, but a monsoon holiday is very different from a conventional dry-season trip.
Kerala becomes exceptionally green during the rainy season, and many travellers enjoy the atmosphere. However, heavy rainfall can occasionally disrupt outdoor activities and transportation.
Always check local weather conditions, particularly before travelling into hill or forest areas.
Is it worth adding Periyar Tiger Reserve to a Kerala itinerary?
Definitely yes if your itinerary already includes Munnar or central Kerala. A combination such as Munnar → Thekkady → Alappuzha/Kumarakom gives you three very different Kerala experiences: tea-covered mountains, wildlife and forest, then backwaters.
