Tips

If you have extra days, consider adding a day trip to the nearby Ponmudi Hill Station for trekking and cooler climates, or a relaxing Ayurvedic spa retreat in Varkala. To shorten the itinerary, skip the paragliding and surf lesson, focusing instead on beach time and the pub crawl, which still delivers a memorable Varkala experience.
