Weather

The weather was as expected for February being gloriously hot during the day with cooling sea breezes and stormy by night.

Holiday

Holiday was eventful as some of the beaches have dangerous seas but without warnings. Husband dislocated shoulder which meant a trip to hospital in Trivandrum.
The Ayurvedic practitioners wanted to fix it but too painful. I would recommend going to hospital straight away.

Hospital excellent for Kerala.

People very friendly and welcoming.

Lots of German visitors.

Noisy in the early hours when locals being called to prayer.

We were warned not to go to areas where there were drunken fishermen.

Be careful of being ripped off in tourist areas. Some of the local unauthorised guides trap you and demand money for showing you sites that are normally free.

Places Recommended

Cochin and the Backwaters.

All areas really but stay safe.

Yes

Weather

Glorious, although I struggle with hot climates, I found the weather to be bearable, especially close to the beach where there was a pleasant breeze.

Holiday

Absolutely wonderful. Having visited Kerala four times already I am planning to return next month as I am experiencing withdrawal symptoms.

I have visited Cochin, Periyer, Alleppey and Tamil Nadu to name but a few places - a wonderful experience, friendly people and wonderful food.

Places Recommended

Poovar for scenery and relaxation but I would also recommend hiring a taxi to travel to Tamil Nadu visiting temples on the way (especially the Wooden Temple).

Lake Periyer is also worth a visit - I stayed at the Lake Palace where the food, scenery and wildlife were amazing.
