Monsoon (June to August) also offers a unique charm with lush greenery and refreshing landscapes, but one might face occasional roadblocks due to heavy rain.<\/p>\n<h4>Q2: How safe are road trips in Kerala?<\/h4>\n<p><strong>A2:<\/strong> Kerala is generally safe for road trips, with well-maintained roads and signages. However, one must be cautious while driving through hilly terrains and during the monsoon when the roads can be slippery. It&#8217;s always a good idea to start your journey early to avoid night driving, especially in hilly areas.<\/p>\n<h4>Q3: Do I need any special permits for a road trip to Kerala?<\/h4>\n<p><strong>A3:<\/strong> If you are an Indian national, you don&#8217;t need any special permits. However, if you are a foreign national, you need to have a valid International Driving Permit (IDP) along with your native country&#8217;s driving license.<\/p>\n<h4>Q4: What should I pack for a road trip to Kerala?<\/h4>\n<p><strong>A4:<\/strong> Depending on the season of travel, you should pack appropriate clothing. Generally, carry light cotton clothes, a good pair of walking shoes, sunblock, hats, sunglasses, and umbrellas. Don&#8217;t forget to pack a good camera to capture the beautiful landscapes.<\/p>\n<h4>Q5: Are there good accommodation facilities available on these routes?<\/h4>\n<p><strong>A5:<\/strong> Yes, Kerala being a popular tourist destination offers a range of accommodation options to suit different budgets. From luxury resorts to budget hotels and homestays, you will find plenty of options.<\/p>\n<h4>Q6: What are the must-try local cuisines during my road trip to Kerala?<\/h4>\n<p><strong>A6:<\/strong> Kerala&#8217;s cuisine is rich and varied. Don&#8217;t miss out on Appam with Stew, Kerala Sadya (a feast served on a banana leaf), Malabar Parotta with Kerala Beef Curry, Puttu and Kadala Curry, and the famous Palada Payasam (a sweet dish).<\/p>\n<h4>Q7: Are petrol pumps easily available on these routes?<\/h4>\n<p><strong>A7:<\/strong> Yes, petrol pumps are relatively frequent on the main highways and near towns. However, if you&#8217;re driving to remote areas, it&#8217;s better to top up whenever available.<\/p>\n<h4>Q8: What is the average driving speed allowed on Kerala roads?<\/h4>\n<p><strong>A8:<\/strong> On highways, the maximum speed limit for cars is typically 90 km\/h, while in city areas, it may be around 50 km\/h. Always adhere to the speed limits for your safety.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Each of us, at some point, has desired to break free from the daily grind and just take to the road.
