We recommend Kumarakom over Alleppey for couples as top Kerala honeymoon places, Kumarakom has vast backwaters unlike the narrow backwater ways in Alleppey which are much more crowded. If you’re planning on visiting the backwaters of Kerala, consider booking a houseboat from August to February.

Summer months mean humidity, more tourists, and overcrowded backwaters, while monsoon brings shuttered businesses and stormy weather and the season we suggested is the best time to visit Kerala that will offer the best food, less crowded, and enjoyable climate.
