yes a very good time to go
well here are the list of places you must visit
Kerala - Places to Visit
Backwater Alleppey
This pleasant easy-going market town, criss-crossed by canals and surrounded by coconut plantations, is also known as the Venice of the East and is one of the starting points for backwater trips. The famous Snake Boat race, which takes place each year in the second week of August, is a spectacular event not to be missed.
Cochin
Chinese Fishing Nets Fort Cochin with its stunning location between the Arabian Sea and the backwaters and its historical associations is one of Kerala's prime tourist destinations. Along its winding narrow lanes are some Old Dutch houses, spice markets, the Dutch Palace, India's oldest European church built in 1503 and a Jewish synagogue. Huge, elegant Chinese fishing nets that line the tip of Fort Cochin are a must see and when you're there, you can savour the fresh catch of the day at nearby restaurants. It is in Cochin that you can enjoy the spectacular Kathakali dance-drama performances in one of the many studios.
Kottayam
Surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery in the State with the hills to its east and the backwater to the west is one of the starting points for a backwater tour. The boat trip from here passes through canals banked by forests and palm groves. You can enjoy the beauty of the landscape and see historical places without getting wet feet.
Palm-Fringed Beach Kovalam
An appealing beach, Kovalam lies about 12 km south of Trivandrum. It consists of two palm-fringed beaches separated by rocky headlands. There are numerous bars and cafes lined up on the shore side and you can enjoy a variety of fresh seafood or continental cuisine. A must see is the Padmanabhapuram Palace (40 km south) built fully out of wood.
Kumarakom
Kumarakom is an island in the Vembanad Lake, on the backwaters of Kerala. It is an ideal starting point for a backwater trip. The various rivers, lagoons, channels and lakes here form a unique scenic network of water routes. The romantic houseboats converted from former rice boats, can be used for a comfortable stay overnight.
Munnar
Ibex A scenic four-hour drive from Cochin takes you to Munnar, a nature lover's paradise. This place with its hillside rivulets and streams running along the roads, extensive tea plantations, and breathtaking views also has a sizable population of wildlife. A stroll through Eravikulam National park will bring you 'face to face' with a good population of Ibex. Mudapetty Dam is an ideal picnic spot on the route to the 'Top station', from where you can enjoy the views of the valley.
Padmanabhapuram
Padmanabhapuram is located 40 km south of Trivandrum. This small town is interesting since it houses the wooden palace of the royal family of Travancore. The architecture of this palace is so fascinating that it expresses also today the glory it held in the past. Padmanabhapuram was the capital of Travancore in the 14th Century, though in the second half of the 18th century Trivandrum was made the capital.
Quilon
Quilon or Kollam is located 155 km south of Cochin with old timber buildings and red clay tile roofings, which is a mark of typical Kerala architecture. For most tourists Kollam is either a starting point or the last stop of their backwater trip. The much cherished ashram of Ma Amritanandamayi is in the proximity of Kollam.
Pepper - Spice Thekkady
Thekkady is tucked amidst lush green tea gardens. It is one of the best places to visit tea, coffee and spice gardens and have a taste of delicious Cardamom tea. Adjacent to it is the Periyar Wild Life Sanctuary with its unsullied grasslands and "Blue Mountains". A boat ride in the lake running through the sanctuary provides an opportunity to watch wild animals like elephants, deer and scores of water birds. A guided walk through the serene forest with beautiful birds and scent of the woods can be quite invigorating.
Varkala
This small town in Kerala is well-known because of the Janardhana Swamy temple, which holds its legend for over 2000 years. To honour the ancestors the residents of this town celebrate Arattu every year in March/April. The sun, sea and the calm beach under the red cliff attracts western visitors to this delightful place.

Yes I would say! Being from very close to kerala, I advice to take trip when it neither rains nor hot. Both rain and sun makes any trip to be horible, or else you should be fine. Happy holidays!
