Rockstays Selects: 11 Best Places to Stay in Kerala

Planning a trip and discovering new places to visit is usually exciting and fun. However, planning a trip with friends and family with contrasting ideas gets complicated. You may encounter varied demands on the kind of vacation spot. So what do you do to keep everyone happy? There is only one answer: Kerala.

It is the only place in India which has everything: from wildlife reserves such as the Parambikullam Tiger Reserve- which has the world’s tallest and oldest oak tree, to the backwaters of Alappuhza & Kottyam. From the islands and beaches of Kollam to the beautiful hill stations of Munnar, Wayanad and Thekkady.

Another advantage of Kerala is that you can go all year round. We recommend hilly areas such as Thekkady, Wayanad and Munnar between September and March, where the temperature is between 15-21 C. Visiting the backwaters is also highly recommended during this time where the temperature ranges between 22 – 25 degrees C. Monsoon and summer seasons, between June and September are best to get ayurvedic treatments.

With so many options, travelers are truly spoilt for choice. The only questions are: where to stay and what to do? Let Rockstays spoil you a bit more! Here are our top picks for Kerala:
