Varkala
Dramatic 30-metre laterite cliffs over a sacred beach — yoga retreats, cliff-edge sunsets and one of Kerala's most atmospheric coastal towns.
Overview
Varkala is unlike any other beach destination in Kerala. Dramatic red laterite cliffs drop 30 metres to a pristine beach below. The Papanasam Beach at the cliff base is considered sacred by Hindus — believed to wash away sins. Above the cliffs, a single lane of cafes, yoga studios and Ayurveda centres makes Varkala feel like a pocket dimension that time forgot.
