Kerala is a favourite destination among many Malaysian tourists, especially of Indian origin because of numerous pilgrimage sites and ancient cultural ties.
Coming from another country is a huge undertaking. Therefore, when you are planning your trip from Malaysia to Kerala, it is always better to preplan, and one of the most important aspects of planning your trip is, travel arrangements once you are in Kerala.
Most of the tourists, corporate travellers and pilgrims to Kerala from Malaysia prefer to travel by road, mostly hiring a vehicle like a taxi or a private car. The benefit of using a taxi service when you are in Kerala is that it gives you full mobility. You are never stranded.

There are always some general times when you want to leave your own country and visit another region, although you may have a different preference.
If you are interested in knowing which is the best season or what is the best time to come to Kerala from Malaysia, you will be happy to know that almost all seasons are suitable. Though, there is a peak season from September till March when the weather is pleasant (near the equator, so, not very hot, but being winter, pleasurably cold). Lodging can be a problem during the peak season, but if you have arranged for your accommodation and stay in advance, there shouldn’t be any problem. This is also a festive season since Christmas and New Year’s celebrations happen during the peak season, and many tourists come to Kerala specifically for these reasons.
April to May is off-season because it is a bit hot and humid, but still, various places like hill stations and beaches are buzzing with tourists even during the off-season. But comparatively, it is easier to get reservations during the off-season.
Then there is the monsoon season when it is continuously raining. People seeking Ayurveda treatments and general peace of mind come during the monsoons.
Depending on why you want to come from Malaysia to Kerala, any season can be a good season.

You can let your houseboat go towards the beach, or you can go on cruising around various backwater channels and enjoy the scenery.
Full of backwaters and marshy areas, Alleppey is ideal for bird sanctuaries and consequently, while you are there, you can visit Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary spread an open expanse of 14 acres. While luxuriating inside your boat, you can behold beautiful birds that come to roost over the patches of land and plants inside the main water body.
Enjoy boating? If you come around August, you can attend the snake boat race held in the Punnamada Lake.
