Many local shops sell these items. Try to bargain as much as possible (if you are a foreigner) or else you will end up spending more.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Traditional culture- Kerala is famous for its traditional dance form- Kathakali. This dance form is a different experience if you haven\u2019t seen one yet. Also, the two artists who perform wear a different kind of makeup, so be sure to reach the venue well before the show starts so that you can see how it\u2019s done.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 What to carry- Munnar is a hill station and gets pretty windy and cool during the night so carry sweaters and for the other places in Kerala cotton clothes are recommended. Sun-screen and other skincare essentials are vital as it\u2019s hot and humid during the day.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/featured-image-kerala.jpeg\" alt=\"Lost In God's Own Country - Kerala\" width=\"1268\" height=\"846\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20989\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/featured-image-kerala.jpeg 1268w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/featured-image-kerala-774x516.jpeg 774w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/featured-image-kerala-120x80.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/featured-image-kerala-500x334.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/wearetravelgirls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/featured-image-kerala-1080x721.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1268px) 100vw, 1268px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Have you ever been to Kerala?
