Varkala Cliff & Beach Day Trip

Varkala

Varkala is the only place in Kerala where the sea meets a red laterite cliff, with a walkway along the top lined with cafés and small shops and a long beach below. It is a pilgrimage town as well as a beach one — the Janardhana Swamy temple is said to be about two thousand years old, and the Sivagiri Mutt of Sree Narayana Guru stands on the hill behind. A day of cliff, beach and temple.
