When should you book?
December to February is the driest time in Kerala. The southwest monsoon brings heavy rain from June to August. Fares from New York rise fastest around Onam in August–September, Christmas and the December holidays, and the summer break, so book those dates early. Shoulder months usually price better if your dates are flexible.
