Frequently asked questions about unique stays in Varkala

  • What are some hidden gems to explore in Varkala?

    Varkala has some real hidden gems. Head up to the north end of the cliff, past the main beach, and you'll find the Janardana Swami Temple. It's a bit of a climb, but the views from the top are incredible and the temple itself is a peaceful oasis. There's also a little-known beach called Odayam Beach, which is perfect for a peaceful escape.
  • What attractions is Varkala famous for?

    Varkala is known for its beautiful clifftop views, with the Varkala Cliff being the main attraction. The cliff offers stunning panoramas of the Arabian Sea, and you can find a variety of restaurants, cafes, and shops along the clifftop path. Another big draw is the Varkala Beach, which is famous for its Ayurvedic treatments and the many yoga studios and meditation centres in the area.
  • What clothing or gear is recommended for the climate in Varkala?

    Varkala's weather is hot and humid, so light and breathable clothing is essential. You'll want to pack loose-fitting cotton clothes, a hat, and sunglasses. You'll also want to bring a good quality mosquito repellent, as the evenings can get quite buggy.
  • What are the best ways to travel to Varkala eco-consciously?

    The best way to travel to Varkala in an eco-conscious way is to take the train from either Thiruvananthapuram or Kollam. The train network in India is extensive and efficient, and it's a much more sustainable option than flying.
  • Which neigbourhood offers the best unique stays in Varkala?

    The best area for unique stays is definitely the North Cliff. It's a bit quieter than the main beach area, and you'll find some really beautiful and secluded places to stay. You can find everything from traditional Kerala houses to modern eco-friendly villas.
