Grab lunch at Darjeeling Cafe and then take a stroll on the Varkala Cliff watching the views of the sea. In the evening, relax and unwind with a yoga session at the Shiva Shakti Yoga School.
Start your day with a visit to the Janardhana Swamy Temple, a 2000-year-old temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Afterwards, head to Kappil Lake, a serene spot where the lake meets the sea. Have lunch at Coffee Temple and then visit the Ponnumthuruthu Island, a small island with a beautiful temple. In the evening, enjoy some shopping at the Varkala Market and have dinner at The Juice Shack.
Don't miss the chance to experience Ayurvedic massages and treatments at one of the many spas in Varkala. You can also take a day trip to the backwaters of Kerala and explore the local villages. Renting a scooter or bicycle is a great way to maximize your fun and explore Varkala at your own pace.
