Kerala Travel Tips

Dress Code

  • •Light, breathable cotton clothing is recommended due to the humid climate. Shoulders and knees should generally be covered for modesty.
  • •Religious sites: Modest attire is essential. Men should wear full trousers/dhoti and women should wear sarees/salwar kameez or long skirts/dresses that cover shoulders and knees. Some temples may require men to remove shirts.
  • •Markets: Casual and comfortable clothing is fine, but avoid overly revealing outfits.

Getting Around

  • •Metro: Kochi Metro is efficient for connecting parts of Ernakulam, but does not directly serve Fort Kochi.
  • •Auto: Auto-rickshaws (tuk-tuks) are widely available and a convenient, budget-friendly option for short to medium distances. Always negotiate the fare before starting the ride or insist on meter.
  • •Cab: Ride-hailing apps like Uber and Ola are available and can be used for longer distances or when comfort is preferred. Negotiate fares for local taxis.

Food & Dining

Must try:

  • •Kerala offers a wide array of delicious vegetarian dishes, especially the Sadhya and various curries made with coconut milk.
  • •Generally, food from popular local eateries and street food vendors that are busy and cook fresh is safe. Avoid cut fruits or salads from unknown vendors. Drink bottled water.

Local Etiquette

  • •Temples: Remove your footwear before entering. Some temples have strict dress codes. Avoid photography inside the sanctum.
  • •Always ask for permission before taking photos of people, especially women and children.
  • •Bargaining is common and expected in local markets, but not in fixed-price shops or malls. Do so respectfully and with a smile.
  • •Tipping is not mandatory but appreciated for good service in restaurants, hotels, and for drivers. A small amount (e.g., ₹50-₹100 for a meal) is customary.
