A unique geological formation where the Arabian Sea meets towering laterite cliffs.
Sacred beach where a dip is said to cleanse sins. Also great for swimming.
Ancient Vishnu temple perched on the cliff, a major pilgrimage site.
Varkala is renowned for authentic Ayurvedic treatments and yoga retreats.
Unlike the more commercial Kovalam, Varkala exudes a relaxed, bohemian charm. The cliff is lined with cafes serving fresh seafood, continental fare, and chilled drinks. The sound of waves crashing against the rocks is a constant companion. It's a place where travelers come to unwind, practice yoga, surf the gentle waves, and watch spectacular sunsets.
Our package gives you the freedom to explore at your own pace while we handle the logistics.
