The best packing lists for Kerala

Kerala is often travelled from the water. Storage on a backwater houseboat is tight, and a soft bag stows far better than a hard shell. Humidity is high and laundry dries slowly, which argues for thin, airy fabrics.

Good to know for Kerala

The southwest monsoon brings heavy rain from June to August, with a second burst from October to November. December to February is the dry stretch. In the tea hills around Munnar above 1,500 metres evenings turn cool enough for a sweater.

If you are booking ayurvedic treatments, bring clothes you do not mind getting oily, and your own towel is often welcome. Temples ask you to leave your shoes outside and keep shoulders and knees covered, and some add rules of their own.

Outlets carry three round pins in a triangle and the supply is 230 volts. The currency is the rupee, and small shops and ferries are cash only. Tap water does not belong in your glass.
