Nature Stay in Kerala After the Rains: Is This the Greenest Time to Visit?

Everyone romanticises the rain. But what many forget is, most good things come after the rain. The green hills, the paddy fields, the washed up beauty of this land after weeks of stormy weather.

So is this the greenest time to visit Kerala? Let’s dive deep and explore the facts.

The Short Answer

It mostly is, but with some caveats.

The rain has stopped, leaving the skies clear and the landscape glistening. There are some added plusses like cooler mornings, and less crowds.

So why does post-monsoon travel Kerala style special?

After weeks of soaking rains, the greenery is at its prime, and the ponds are all sparkling. This is the charm of post-monsoon travel in this state, you get to see the beauty of nature, without getting drenched every other day.

One caveat though, because Kerala also experiences a light northeast monsoon in October and November, you can expect a few light showers in the evenings. So pack an umbrella and think of the rain as part of the experience.

These are just averages and every year varies, but generally speaking if you’re looking to experience greenest times to visit Kerala, this is it.

Why Thrissur Is My Pick

Thrissur is underrated, and as usual I’m going to make a case for the backwaters and the rice fields over the popular hill stations and beaches.

This is a rice field country. Massive expanses of golden green paddy with coconut palms dotting the horizon. It’s an easy place to fall in love with a lush paddy field in Thrissur way.

Here’s my pitch, and it’s a good one. Skip the crowded resorts and opt for a Farmhouse In Kerala instead. You will get to enjoy the wide open spaces and privacy of a farmhouse. A Homestay in Thrissur Kerala takes it up a notch by putting you into the heart of the village. You’ll eat local food and get to know the local culture over a pot of tea.

Paddy field views, easy access to Kochi and the temples make this the perfect Kerala travel guide choice for a post-monsoon getaway.

Where Sukrutham Farmstay Fits

Now here’s where I get truly interested. Sukrutham Farmstay is not your usual resort masquerading as a farmhouse. This is a real working farm that opens up its doors and gates to discerning visitors.

This is one of those rare luxury farmhouse in Kerala that actually works the land. So you are not seeing the pretty countryside from the windows of a resort. You’re living and breathing the experience of rural life in Kerala, minus the rustic rustic vibes.

A working farm, with actual crops and livestock, combined with the luxury of a 5-star resort is quite the combination. And that is what makes Sukrutham Farmstay so special.

A Green Day, Hour by Hour

I would personally skip the hourly schedule and just wing it. Because the truth is, any hour can be the best hour if you’re doing what you love.

What’s Trending Right Now

More and more people are travelling differently than they have in the past. I’ve noticed that there is a growing interest in visiting fewer places, but staying longer.

In particular there is a growing interest in agritourism and post-rain nature stays.

I’ve seen an increase in queries and bookings regarding:

• Slow travel
• Agritourism
• Post-rain getaways
• Reel worthy paddy field views
• Early December bookings

As December is a peak season, you may have to book well in advance since these places have limited capacity. Properties with the best views tend to book up the fastest.

Quick Tips Before You Go

• Pack an umbrella for the occasional shower
• Quick dry clothes are a must
• Mosquito repellent is essential
• Comfortable clothes and shoes are a must
• Make advance reservations, especially for late December
• Ask about what farm activities there are

Planning a Farmhouse In Kerala? Ask what is being harvested and available during your stay. It will influence what you can eat and experience.
