Best Time To Visit Velankanni

When booking your tour to Velankanni, it is important to align it around the months which offer the best holiday experience and allow you to take part in all the tourist activities. The winter season is the best season to visit Velankanni. It stretches from December to February and the weather remains pleasant, varying between 20֯ C to 31֯C, making it an ideal time to indulge in outdoor activities. However, this season witnesses a heavy footfall of tourists. 

If you want to avoid crowds, then consider planning your tour in the shoulder months of March to April or October to November. The weather remains fairly pleasant with fewer crowds during these months. Summer and Monsoon should be avoided as the town witnesses hot and humid temperatures during summer, and heavy rainfall in monsoon.
