Why Visit the Best Monsoon Tourism Destinations
in South India?

• The monsoon in Kerala exciting things to do in
  the rains.
• The monsoon in Kerala is one of the most magical
  experiences in the world. The Indian subcontinent
  is strategically placed to receive the onset of
  the South West Monsoon. Dark grey billowy clouds
  laden with rain lash across the land, drenching
  the earth and Kerala comes alive with a new life.
• Sheets of raindrops hit the earth, driven by the
  winds, settling the dust and running into the
  soil. Little rivulets come to life, flowing with
  bubbly song into craters, gutters moats. The
  rivers of Kerala turn into mighty gushing waters
  teeming with fish. Plants trees quench the
  thirst and put forth new leaves and fronds and
  the state is flush with greenery.

• Visiting Kerala in the monsoon will show the
  visitor or tourist another face of the lovely
  state. It is the ideal time to relax
  rejuvenate. Ayurveda rejuvenation therapies are
  recommended at this time as it is believed that
  the body is in a tender state in this season.
  Languid ayurvedic massages with medicated oils
  and specialized treatments for specific ills are
  highly recommended. These treatments can be had
  after consultation with an ayurvedic doctor and
  can be undergone in prescribed sets of days which
  are usually multiple of three, eg- 3 days, 7
  days, 21 days etc.
• Another charming activity in the monsoon is a
  houseboat ride along the backwaters. The
  houseboat is a floating suite of rooms consisting
  of bedrooms with attached toilets, an open-to-the
  water living cum dining room and a sun deck to
  watch the water go by. A fully equipped kitchen
  and a crew consisting of a cook, cleaner and
  driver are on board. Watch the rain clouds gather
  on the horizon and put forth their bounty into
  the boundless stretch of backwaters from the safe
  comfortable confines of your houseboat. Feast
  on local fare like fresh sea food, tapioca,
  lobsters etc prepared in true Kerala style by
  your very own chef or stop off at a local toddy
  shop for their delicacies while sipping the local
  tipple.

• Districts like Trivandrum, Cochin Calicut will
  have boat building repair activity going on.
  The tourist can visit these huge boat building
  yards and watch these traditional wooden boats
  being repaired or maintenance works being carried
  out. Beypore in Calicut is the best destination
  for these. Any visit to India and any tourist in
  India would miss out on something without a visit
  like this.
• For those on a South India Tour and planning on a
  trip up the mountains to Munnar or Thekkady, a
  Plantations stay will be a treat. Watching the
  monsoon sweep across the mountain ranges, covered
  in magical mist, and drenching the tea estates is
  an amazing sight. The fragrance of freshly
  moistened tea bushes while sipping a hot cup of
  tea can transport the visitor to another world. A
  walk among the tea gardens will throw up new
  water bodies, waterfalls, rivulets that didnt
  exist during the summer.
• A must-do in the monsoon in Kerala is a visit to
  the Athirapally waterfalls. This 80 foot water
  fall transforms into a thundering, roaring
  cascade that is a sight to behold. Only in the
  monsoon does it swell this size.
