Alleppey in February
Great time to visit
Nearly as perfect as January but with slightly warmer afternoons. The last month of truly comfortable weather before things start heating up. Crowds and prices remain at their peak.
Weather
Still the tail end of perfect weather season. Temperatures climb slightly with highs reaching 34°C, but mornings remain comfortable at 20°C. Rain is practically non-existent, just the occasional light shower.

All Months
October through March is peak season for good reason — temperatures hover around 28°C and the monsoon damage is repaired. December and January see the most crowds and highest prices, but also the most reliable weather. February and March offer a sweet spot with fewer tourists but still pleasant conditions. Monsoon season (June to September) shuts down most houseboat operations, and for good reason — the backwaters turn choppy and dangerous. April and May are brutally hot, with temperatures hitting 35°C+ and humidity that makes breathing feel like work. Book houseboats at least two weeks ahead during peak season, especially around Christmas and New Year when prices double.
