has anyone been or thinking of tavelling to kerala this year please?

i was looking to go later this year around Oct/Nov time. it would be great to hear from fellow travellers.

also any advice would be most welcome - i feel quite nervous to book due to distance but i wondered also if in the tropical climate there are lots of insects and such like? sorry to sound silly but i am quite phobic and it does worry me, particularly on the boathouses or treks.

i hope to hear from some of you.

all the best and thank you, vina

I went on this trip in March and had a fantastic time.

I posted some advice in another thread, please either search for Kerala or try the link below.

There is no need to worry about it being long haul. I was a little concerned about the airline but it was actually very good. There was adequate room and the food was good, I chose the Indian meals.

We did not have any problems with insects although I have always found that this can very quickly change with the season and weather. Take 50% deet but beware it dissolves plastic (eg glasses and watch glasses).

If you have any further questions I will do my best to answerer them.
