When to Go
The ideal time to visit Parappanangādi is from October to March. During these months, the weather is pleasant and dry, with comfortable temperatures ranging from 20°C to 32°C, perfect for exploring outdoors. The monsoon season from June to September brings heavy rainfall, which can disrupt travel plans. The summer months of April and May can be hot and humid, making daytime activities less enjoyable. Visiting in the cooler, drier period ensures you can fully enjoy the beach, markets, and cultural sites without weather interruptions.
