Shopping in Varkala is a surprising experience for its lanes house rows of outlets. A gold mine for souvenir hunters, the street markets in Varkala sell everything from hippie clothing, Indian wear, bamboo products, Kerala-exclusive perfumes, incense sticks, soaps and oils, funky jewellery and more. Shopaholics would also love some bargain deals at the local Tibetan market, for it is decked with fascinating goods such as Tibetan musical bowls, flutes, dorjees, prayer flags and conches. And do not forget to indulge in a plate full of steaming momos and tingmos if you wish to catch your breath from all the shopping.
