Climate : The ideal time to enjoy stay at kerala are august to february in view of the cultural events taking place in sept-oct season and the pleasant climate of cooling rains .Averages temperatures at just above 22c which goes up to 31c on a hot and humid Febuary to April.The ideal season to be between September to february which is in view of the greenery of flora and the gushing rivulets which makes the destination colorful and less crowded .
Clothing : Informal Cottons are ideal But the months between sept –dec does have rains at intervals so the fickle weather makes it essential to have warm and rain proofing clothing's.
Munnar: These months do have the insect " Leech " in the plantations so leech guards will to an extent help protect ourselves when on a trek and local protection using salt (Saline Water) or snuff powder made from tobacco is also found helpful. To fight them any available repellents from your country may be the best to carry as a safe guard.Mosquitoes are seen up to October in the evenings and are not very common in high altitude properties but we still use vaporizing repellents in the bedrooms to rule out the any chances of their disturbances.
