Travel Tips

  • ⛰ Embrace the Local Cuisine

    Before your flight, explore the rich and diverse flavors of Hyderabad, known for its biryani, and consider packing a few snacks from the city. Once you arrive in Kottayam, don't miss out on the local delicacies such as Karimeen Pollichathu (fish) and traditional Kerala sadya. Ask your flight attendants for recommendations on authentic Kottayam eateries.

  • 📍 Prepare for Monsoon Seasons

    If traveling during monsoon (June to September), ensure to check weather updates as flights may be subject to delays. Pack an umbrella and wet wipes in your hand luggage for convenience. Additionally, it's wise to carry a light waterproof jacket, as Kottayam experiences heavy rainfall during this season.

  • 🚍 Health and Safety Precautions

    As Kottayam is situated at a higher altitude, staying hydrated is crucial, especially during your flight. Drinking plenty of water can help mitigate altitude sickness. It’s advisable to bring any personal medications, especially if you have allergies, as the local flora may be different from what you are used to.

  • 🎭 Engage with Cultural Norms

    Familiarize yourself with regional customs before landing. For instance, dressing modestly is appreciated, especially when visiting temples or local homes. Learning a few Malayalam phrases, such as 'Namaskaram' (hello), can also create a positive impression and enhance your interactions with locals.

  • 🏛 Explore Airport Amenities

    Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Hyderabad offers a variety of services like lounges, shopping, and dining options. Utilize these amenities before your flight. Upon arrival in Kottayam, check for local tourist information desks straight away for brochures and assistance to make the most out of your visit.
