    Start your day by visiting Varkala Beach, a serene and picturesque beach surrounded by towering cliffs. Enjoy a morning stroll along the beach and take in the beautiful views. In the afternoon, relax on the beach or try some water activities such as surfing or paddleboarding. As the sun sets, head to one of the beachside restaurants to enjoy some fresh seafood and watch the sunset over the Arabian Sea.

    Sivagiri Mutt is a spiritual and cultural center located on top of a hill with panoramic views. Start your day early and climb the hill to visit the beautiful temple and pay your respects. In the afternoon, explore the ashram and learn about the life and teachings of the social reformer and sage, Sree Narayana Guru. As the evening approaches, make your way back down the hill and enjoy a peaceful dinner at one of the local restaurants.
