Varkala

Varkala is a town in the Indian state of Kerala, about 50km north of Trivandrum and is home of the popular Papanasam Beach. Also, the Samadhi of Kerala's saint Sree Narayana Guru is situated in this town and hence has become a place of pilgrimage.

Varkala Travel Tips
Varkala travel tips courtesy of GeckoGo
  • Clairement touristique mais parfait pour les amateurs d'Ayurveda!  Le Torrivellec M.
  • choise yourself an Ayurvedic treatment in one of the centres in India's famoust alternative health place.  Leeneke V.
  • When you arrive to the cliff town walk north enough to leave the crowded 'center'. You will find lovely thatched huts that are pretty basic but very very quiet. For bigger beaches walk further north just a couple of kilometers and you will be the only person around. Maybe a farmer with an elephant …  Jason R.
