Due to heavy rains, there is a threat of landslides in many beautiful places of Kerala. Recently, two landslides have been reported near Munnar, the famous hill station of Kerala. The first fall occurred at 10 pm on Saturday when a delivery truck got stuck in the debris, killing the driver. A few hours later, a heavy flow of debris and soil was seen for the second time late at night. Both these incidents occurred near the old government college on the Kochi-Dhanushkodi National Highway, which has raised serious concerns about possible security lapses in the local administration, knowingly or unknowingly. Let us know when it is safe to go to Kerala and what the situation is here right now…

The condition of Munnar is also worrying. If you are planning to go there, then wait a bit. Hilly areas like Idukki and Wayanad are also not safe. The forested areas of Ponmudi and Agasthyamalai are also very famous among tourists, but it is not safe to go there right now. The rugged areas around Kottayam are also at risk. In these places, the base of the ground weakens during heavy and continuous rains, due to which soil, rocks, and debris can fall down rapidly. This causes road blockages, traffic disruptions, and can create a seriously dangerous situation for travelers.

Please pay attention to these things before traveling.

1. If you are planning a trip before or after the monsoon, then definitely check the Meteorological Department (IMD) and local updates, such as administration alerts.

2. Do not travel up the hill at night, as it increases the risk.

3. If possible, check the route with the local travel agent there, or check the road condition with the research team.

4. Always avoid overspeeding and control the speed of the vehicle on dangerous turns or in high-altitude areas.

5. Keep the escape route and emergency numbers saved with you during the journey.

The state of Kerala is called "God's Own Country," and its greenery, backwaters, hill stations, and Ayurvedic treatments are famous all over the world. But it is fun to visit here only when the weather is favorable and there is no threat of rain. The time from October to March is considered the safest and most pleasant to visit Kerala. During this time, the weather is pleasant, cool, and free from humidity. Light sunlight during the day and cool breeze at night give tourists a different experience.

This time is especially great to enjoy hill stations and backwater destinations like Munnar, Thekkady, Wayanad, and Alleppey. Also, trekking, boating, houseboat stay, and beach activities can also be done comfortably in this season. The freshness and greenery after the monsoon is also seen at this time, which makes your trip even more memorable. The roads are clean, there is no danger of landslides and it becomes easy to reach all the tourist places.
