Like food, transportation, what to wear when visiting Kerala is also one of the important things that you need to consider while planning your trip in Kerala. The right kind of clothes will make your holiday more enjoyable and trouble free. The traditional dress of Kerala men is Shirt and Dhoti but men also wear Dhoti along with Kurta.
The dhothi, known as Mundu in local language with shirt or juba is the traditional dress code of men in the state.

In Kerala a lot of people have adopted western style of dressing as you can see many people wearing western outfits like Bermuda shorts, short skirts and sleepless tops in many parts of the state.
Dresses to wear in Munnar
Munnar and Thekkady are hill stations and will be moderately cold. The temperature may go down to 5 degree calcium during winter season starting from October to February. So we suggest you to pack enough woolen dresses to wear in Munnar especially for kids and seniors.
What to Wear in Alleppey?

There are likely to be mosquitoes in the sit out area of houseboats and motor boats, so it is better to cover your body with long light cotton clothes to avoid insect bites and leeches.

Our family vacation in Kerala was fully organized by your company. Train journey from Delhi to Ernkulam was long and boring. After reaching the railway station it took more than 5 minutes to find the cab. First driver provided to us was not good and not fluent in Hindi..but second day we got another driver Jayakumar and he was good. Over all Our trip was just ok but not great as expected..it was raining everywhere and we could not enjoy the trip .Our children were not keeping well and the whole trip was just ok.
