💡 Travel Tips
💰 Book boat safaris through your hotel or local operators in Thekkady town instead of pre-booked packages - you'll save 20-30% and get better rates during off-peak months.
📅 October to May is ideal, with November-February offering the best wildlife visibility and comfortable weather. Avoid monsoon season (June-September) when heavy rains make safaris risky and roads challenging.
🛂 Indian citizens require no visa to visit Kerala as it is within India. Simply carry a valid passport or national ID for domestic travel.
