Ramakkalmedu - The Windy Viewpoint of Idukki

Best Time to Visit

• The best period to visit Ramakkalmedu is from September to March. During these months, the weather is pleasant and the skies are generally clear after the monsoon, providing unobstructed views of the valley below. The temperature is comfortable for the short trek up the hill. Summer months, from April to May, can be hot. The monsoon season, from June to August, brings heavy rainfall which can make the rocky paths slippery and the viewpoint is often covered in thick fog, hiding the view completely.
• Peak Crowd: December to January, weekends, and on public holidays when tourist footfall is at its highest.
• Moderate Crowd: September to November and February to March, especially on weekdays.
• Low Crowd: April to May due to the summer heat, and June to August during the heavy monsoon season.
