known as the 'Land of the Coconut') but rice, tea, coffee,
sandalwood, sago, rubber and spices are also grown. As tourism is
fairly new to Kerala its development has been
controlled which means that there are few high rise buildings and
night clubs etc. What Kerala offers the tourist is natural beauty and
a vibrant culture.
The best time to
visit is October to April, when there is less rainfall. However, you
should bear in mind that Kerala is within the tropics and so rain can
be experienced any time.

The above charts give
the average temperature and rainfall in Trivandrum and Cochin. Places
on the coast are always slightly cooler and less humid as they benefit
from a sea breeze and hill stations or places high in the Western
Ghats are considerably cooler.
