Munnar in April
Great time to visit
Still excellent weather with warming trends. The tourist rush continues but you'll start noticing better deals on accommodations.
Weather
April brings warmer days but nights stay pleasantly cool. Humidity starts creeping up but remains tolerable. Still mostly dry with occasional light showers that freshen up the tea plants.

All Months
October through May gives you the best weather – clear skies, comfortable temperatures, and minimal rain. December and January can actually get cold enough for sweaters, with temperatures dropping to 5°C at night. This is peak season though, so expect crowds and inflated prices. The monsoons from June to September transform the landscape into something otherworldly – everything turns impossibly green and waterfalls appear overnight. But heavy rains make some roads impassable and outdoor activities risky. Here's the sweet spot: visit in October or April for good weather without the December-January crowds. The tea plants look their greenest just after monsoon season ends.
