Essential Travel Tips
Munro Turuttu is a small town with limited ATM access. Carry sufficient cash, especially in smaller denominations for market purchases and local eateries.
The primary language is Malayalam, but most people in shops and restaurants understand basic English. Learning a few Malayalam phrases like 'nandi' (thank you) is appreciated.
Dress modestly, especially when visiting temples. Shoulders and knees should be covered, and you'll need to remove shoes before entering religious sites.
Auto-rickshaws are the main local transport. Agree on the fare before getting in, as meters are rarely used. Short rides within town should cost 30-50 rupees.
Drink only bottled or filtered water. Even in restaurants, confirm water is purified. Street food is generally safe if cooked fresh and hot.
Kerala is one of India's most progressive states with high literacy and good safety, but still take normal precautions with valuables, especially in crowded areas.
The electrical outlets are 230V with Type C, D, and M plugs. Bring a universal adapter if your devices use different plugs.
Bargaining is acceptable in markets but be respectful. Start at about 60% of the asking price and meet somewhere reasonable.
