Best Time to Travel

Kottayam is accessible throughout the year. November to February offers cooler weather for sightseeing and backwater visits, while March to May is warmer. The monsoon months bring heavy rain and greener landscapes, but extra road time should be allowed during intense showers.

For airport transfers, the most important factor is traffic rather than season. Add a reasonable buffer for weekday peak hours, festival days and school or office traffic around major junctions.
