Best Time to Visit Trivandrum (Thiruvananthapuram)

Winter (October to February)

  • Best time to visit as the temperatures range between 20°C and 30°C. The humidity is lower, making it comfortable to explore beaches, temples, and other attractions.
  • It's also a great time for festivals, including the famous Onam (usually in September), though some festivals might extend into early winter.
  • You can enjoy places like Kovalam Beach, Padmanabhaswamy Temple, and the Neyyar Wildlife Sanctuary comfortably.

Summer (March to May)

  • Temperatures can rise to 35°C or higher, with high humidity, making it uncomfortable for outdoor activities. This is the off-season, but if you can handle the heat, you'll find fewer crowds and better deals on accommodation.

Monsoon (June to September)

  • Kerala experiences heavy rainfall during the monsoon season. Though the landscapes are lush and beautiful during this time, outdoor activities can be hindered by the rains.
  • However, if you enjoy the monsoon atmosphere, this is a good time to experience Kerala's unique Ayurvedic treatments, which are said to be more effective during the rainy season.
