Most popular during november-march oeriod! On longest day (22/06) stormy weather and rain might be your deal! But still ok to enjoy the atmosphere !

It's not only the Beach . Don't miss Sivagiri Mutt and Janardana Swami Temple while visiting Varkala. Try Masala Rosa from the small canteen in Varkala Railway Station Platform .

Comfortable a/cVolvo Low floor buses operated by Kerala State Road Transport Corporation connects Trivandrum and Kovalam to Varkala. Check timings n plan your trips to Kovalam n Trivandrum accordingly

As soon as the shop keeper in the beach sees that you’re a westerner they will get dollar signs in their eyes and jack up their prices. A simple way to avoid this is to only go to “fixed rate” shops.

Trekking adventures coupled with the laid-back vibe of serene beaches . If you love fun and action simultaneously, Varkala is the best place in Kerala to consider

Cliff and beach . peaceful very few people -south cliff. all together - north cliff

Lovely beach with cliff views

This is the best beach in India. Stay is cheap , try to stay in on of the cottages on the cliff. Its incredibly beautiful!

Black beach : meditation at sunset is a wonderful experience !!

But here the price of these products are been manipulated by their own price by putting a barcode label over it and they are charging double than the actual price. This is how things work over here.

Place is good, quite crowded , Paragliding 3.5K per person and people weighing more than 60Kg weren't allowed as the Air force is not low :( Good place for #SunBath #BeachActivities

if you wanna surf here is just one rent point (400Rp/hour). But better to go to Edava

varkala beach very cool place

Самое лучшее место в южной Индии. Спокойствие утром , движение днём и романтика вечером. Здесь стоит побывать каждому. Сезон основного пляжа в зимние месяцы, летом здесь вода слишком поднимается.
