Begin your honeymoon with a relaxing day at the beautiful Varkala Beach. Known for its stunning sunset views, the beach offers breathtaking views of the Arabian Sea and the nearby cliff. Take a romantic stroll on the sandy shoreline, indulge in delicious seafood or get adventurous and try paragliding or surfing. End the day with a candlelit dinner at one of the beachside restaurants while enjoying the sea breeze.
Visit the Sivagiri Mutt, a popular pilgrimage center and learn about the life of Sri Narayana Guru, a social reformer, and philosopher. The peaceful and serene ambiance of this place will leave you feeling uplifted. After a visit to the ashram, head to Papanasam Beach, which is only a 5-minute drive away (2 km), for a relaxing beach stroll or swim. You can also visit Janardanaswamy Temple, a 15-minute drive away (4 km), to experience traditional Kerala architecture and culture.
If you have extra time, you can explore other attractions in Varkala, such as Anjengo Fort, Vishnu Temple or schedule a spa treatment at one of the many Ayurvedic centers in the area. If you are short on time, consider skipping Janardanaswamy Temple and add in a leisurely boat ride in the scenic Kappil Lake.
