Visiting Marayoor Dolmens in Munnar, Kerala is a journey through time, as these ancient burial structures date back to the Iron Age. The ideal time to explore these historical megaliths is during the post-monsoon and winter months, typically from September to March. This period offers pleasant weather with minimal rainfall, making it easier to walk around and explore the dolmens without the inconvenience of heavy rains. The temperature during these months ranges from a comfortable 10°C to 28°C, allowing you the perfect climate to discover the archaeological site amidst the enchanting beauty of Marayoor, which is also famous for its lush sandalwood forests.
The summer months from April to June can be quite warm in Munnar, with temperatures soaring above 30°C, and perhaps not the best for outdoor activities like visiting the Marayoor Dolmens. However, if your travel dates fall between July and August, you may encounter the monsoon season which blankets the region with heavy rains, making the terrain slippery and less accessible. The rainfall, though, rejuvenates the greenery making it vibrant, which could offer a different experience altogether. Visiting in the recommended months will ensure a more comfortable and enriching experience as you delve into the enigmatic past of the Marayoor Dolmens, set against the picturesque backdrop of Munnar's tea plantations and rolling hills.
