The best time to go to Vattakanal is during the monsoon season, from June to September, or the winter months, from November to February.
The monsoon season transforms Vattakanal into a lush, green paradise with frequent mist and light rainfall. The air is fresh, and the waterfalls are at their fullest. This time of year is great for couples seeking a romantic and secluded retreat, as the misty weather creates a truly magical setting. The cooler temperatures make for pleasant walks through the shola forests.
Winter, from November to February, offers clear skies and cool, crisp weather. Days are sunny, and nights can be quite chilly, great for enjoying a cosy evening by a fireplace. This season is ideal for travellers who enjoy outdoor activities like trekking and exploring the viewpoints, as visibility is excellent.
