Kerala, the 21st largest Indian state, has a condensed history, dotted with stories of the Chera Dynasty, the engaging spice trade that has thrived since 3000 BCE, and the times of European colonisation set in motion by Portuguese traders. The state sprang to its present form in 1956, soaking up Malayalam-speaking regions, and bloomed into a cultural powerhouse with a unique ethos. With 14 distinct districts each weaving their own tales, the well-urbanised region offers an immersive journey that sails through the past and into the present.

Possessing the highest Human Development Index among Indian states, Kerala has an impressively low population growth rate, the best literacy rate, and the highest life expectancy. Its robust economy thrives on remittances from the expatriate community, while agriculture remains an iconic part of the economic and cultural landscape. Dive into this verdant marvel with its thrumming urban life, tranquil rural beauty, and feel the pulse of the people through the bustling media, predominantly Malayalam and English.

When to visit Kerala

Offering a delightful retreat at any time of the year, the best period to experience the robust charms of Kerala is during the cooler, drier months of December, January, and February. Though these months see a larger influx of travellers, your experience will be undeniably richer, with a more pleasant climate.

Your ideal journey through Kerala should balance both the timeless allure of its ancient cities and the natural beauty of the backwaters. Opt for homestays to unveil a deeper, more intimate acquaintance with local life. A restful glide on the placid backwaters on a traditional 'Kettuvallam' or an engaging time kayaking should certainly make its way to your itinerary. Make sure to partake in the vibrant local festivals and events to get a taste of Kerala's culture at its most exuberant. Plan your Kerala adventure with Lycafly today and set the stage for a truly unforgettable journey.
