Kerala is, needless to say, a haven for travelers who look forward to the unique blend of rich culture and breathtaking natural beauty. From serene backwaters and lush green landscapes to vibrant festivals and historical landmarks, the state offers a whole range of experiences. To make the most of your visit, especially if it concerns staying at a farm like Sukrutham Farmstay, the following travel tips guide:

  1. Immerse in Local Culture

   – Be a Part of Festivals: Onam, Vishu, and Thrissur Pooram are some of the festivals celebrated with pomp and gaiety in Kerala. Traditional music and dance programs coupled with sumptuous feasts are an integral part of these festivals. Participating in these will give you an immense understanding of the local culture.

Learn Some Malayalam Phrases: Although most of them in Kerala speak English, it is always worthwhile to learn some simple phrases in Malayalam that can make one’s interaction with the locals more engaging and show respect towards their culture. Some of these no doubt include:

 – Visit Historical Places: Cultural places of interest, such as the Padmanabhaswamy Temple, Fort Kochi, and the Dutch Palace, reflect the rich history and architectural beauty of Kerala.

  1. Discover Nature’s Bounty

Backwater Cruises: Resting in the backwaters of Alleppey and Kumarakom, here lies a peaceful escapade. Book a houseboat cruise for a taste of still waterways, emerald greenery, and old village life.

Wildlife Sanctuaries: Check out Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary, Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary, and Eravikulam National Park to get a peek at the various flora and fauna of Kerala. And last but not least, a guided tour for the best experience.

Hill Stations: Munnar and Thekkady offer an ideal setting for those in quest of cooler climates amidst picture postcard scenery. Take tea plantations tours, trekking, and feast on the views afforded by these hill stations.

  1. Farm Stay In Kerala

Sustainable Living: Sukrutham Farmstay is an original farm stay that deals essentially with sustainable and eco-friendly programmes. Join farming activities, learn organic methods of farming, and relish farm-to-table meals.

 Cultural Workshops: A few workshops on traditional crafts are regularly conducted at this farm. Cooking classes and yoga sessions are also arranged here. All three help in getting an in-depth feel about the cultural identity of Kerala.

Nature Trails and Bird Watching: Make full use of the fact that the farm is situated next to nature. Take guided nature walks, explore the surrounding forests, and indulge in some bird watching as a means of relaxation amidst the beauty of nature in Kerala.

  1. Practical Travel Tips

Best Time to Visit: Winter may be the best season to visit Kerala, and the months from October to February are when its climate is at its best. Equally beautiful is the monsoon period from June to September, which may be damp and sultry.

– Regional Cuisine: Do not miss the taste of Kerala. Relish its proud appam with stew, Kerala Sadya, and other seafood delicacies. Be sure to eat only in clean, highly recommended outlets so that you don’t fall sick.

   – Dress Conservatively: Less skin exposure will not only make you look reverent but will also reduce the possibility of sunburns. Always remove shoes while entering a person’s home or most public places.

Hydrate and Protect: Bring a refillable water bottle to quench your thirst. Apply sunscreen and mosquito repellant if you are outdoors for too long.

These travel tips will help you experience the richness of Kerala’s cultural tapestry and natural wonders, bringing you a memorable and enriching travel experience. Besides providing an undisturbed stay, Farm Stay In Kerala allows one to live in the proximity of nature, to belong, and indulge oneself in the rustic, real surroundings that envelope the rural lifestyle of Kerala.
