With a medley of steep red cliffs, swaying palm trees and the deep blue Arabian Sea, it isn’t hard to imagine why Varkala is described as one of the most beautiful beaches in India. A more laid-back alternative to Kovalam, Varkala is fast catching up to its more popular cousin, thanks to its stunning beaches and an assortment of restaurants and hotels clustered around the North Cliff.

Had visited Varkala a couple of years back with family. It is Paradise on earth. Papanasam Beach, Janardhana swamy temple, Sivagiri Hills, Kappil beach and Lake ( it is rather harsh to describe this as lake as it is the extension of back waters stretching across miles and we stayed in one of the resorts located in the midst of lake and sea. It was out of the world experience. You need not visit Kanyakumari to witness sunset. Instead perch yourself on the cliff and watch the sun set and the rising moon mingling beautifully above you. It needs to be experienced. Sea food is awesome. Plan to visit once again soon.Read More
