The Winter Season: November to February Why visit? This is arguably the best time to visit Thekkady.The mild, pleasant weather enhances the enjoyment of outdoor pursuits like trekking, bamboo rafting, and wildlife safaris. Winter provides a pleasant weather for visiting the Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary and the neighboring landscapes, with highs of 15°C to 25°C. Hikers, this is the ideal time of year. Hikes through the forest are easier to handle and there is a higher chance of seeing wildlife because of the clear skies and pleasant breeze. Winter is the best time of year for both novice and experienced travelers to explore nature paths or trek further into the Periyar Tiger Reserve. Pro tip: It is best to reserve your lodging in advance since winter is Thekkady's busiest travel season. There are many excellent hotels in Thekkady, and one standout is Hotel Lincoln Square, known for its comfortable rooms and proximity to popular attractions. It’s a great base for all your winter adventures.
The Summer Season: March to May Is summer a pleasant season? Summer has its benefits even though it might not seem like the ideal season to travel. The temperature varies from 20°C to 36°C throughout this season, and the warm weather pushes animals toward water sources. Because of this, the summer is a great season to see wildlife, especially elephants, who congregate near Periyar Lake to cool off. If you love wildlife, a summertime boat ride on Periyar Lake can provide amazing chances to witness animals in their native environment. On the other hand, the heat may be rather strong, particularly at midday. Trekking is still possible, although the ideal times to go are in the early morning and late afternoon. Pro tip: Drink plenty of water and bring light, breezy clothes! Even though Thekkady is higher up than other regions of Kerala, the temperature is still cooler there, so you should still pack for the heat.
The Monsoon Season: June to October Monsoon magic or a washout? Thekkady is turned into a verdant, beautiful paradise during the monsoon season. The area experiences abundant rainfall from June to October, which revitalizes the spice plantations, waterfalls, and woods in the area. This is a terrific time of year for nature enthusiasts and photographers because of how gorgeous the countryside looks. However, due to slick trails and erratic weather, trekking and outdoor activities become difficult. The monsoon provides a more leisurely pace for those who want to take in the breathtaking scenery, visit spice plantations, or just relax and take in the tranquil mood of the area, even though you might not be able to hike as easily. If you're planning to visit Thekkady during the monsoon season, it's important to stay updated on weather forecasts and potential landslide alerts.
So, When Is the Best Time? Thekkady is most popular and comfortable from November to February, however each season has its own charms. For outdoor pursuits like trekking, bamboo rafting, and animal sanctuary exploration, the cool weather is ideal. The summer (March to May) offers great chances for animal sightings if you enjoy animals and do not mind the heat, particularly around Periyar Lake. The monsoon season, which runs from June to October, is ideal for anyone who values seclusion, breathtaking scenery, and a little rain.
Final Thoughts Every season brings something new and exciting to Thekkady. Every visit offers a different experience, whether you are hiking through verdant forests in the winter, seeing wildlife in the summer, or taking in the breathtaking scenery during the monsoon. The secret is to schedule your activities during a season that best suits your interests.
