Start your day with a visit to the Varkala Beach, popularly known as Papanasam Beach, famous for its natural springs and mineral-rich water. Here, you can enjoy the sun and indulge in beach activities with your squad. You can also hire a boating service from the shore or take a dip in the ocean. With picturesque sunsets and stunning seascapes, Varkala beach is a perfect spot for your group to hang out.
Enjoy some mid-day drinks with your friends at the 3rd Rock Lounge Bar, located near the beach, overlooking the scenic cliff-side view. 3rd Rock Lounge offers a wide range of cocktails, mocktails and hard drinks to satisfy your alcohol cravings. The lively atmosphere and great music put you in the party mode ready to enjoy the rest of the day.
Relax and get refreshed with an authentic Ayurvedic Massage. Head over to Varkala Massage and Ayurveda Center, a wellness spa specializing in massages and treatments based on traditional Ayurvedic principles. Choose from a range of Ayurvedic massages, oil treatments, and steam baths. The massage restores your energy levels, leaving you rejuvenated for the next party session.
Wrap up your day with some good food and great music at a Bachelor's Party Special Night. Head over to Cafe del Mar, which hosts regular DJ nights with a wide range of food and drinks. The exciting atmosphere, combined with the blissful setting, ensures an unforgettable evening. Café del Mar is also widely recognized for serving the best wood-fired pizzas in town, making your party night a memorable experience.
Get ready for day two with a hearty breakfast at the The Juice Shack, a shack on Varkala beach known for its fresh juices, smoothies, breakfast items, and sandwich varieties. After breakfast, indulge in some surfing lessons with a pro at the Black Beach Surf Shop. Generally, the sea is calm during the morning hours, so it's a great time to try your hands on the waves whilst building team spirit in the group.
Take a break from the beach activities and go on a challenging hike along the Edava-Nadayara Lake Trail. This is a 4.5-mile trek with picture-perfect viewpoints of the backwaters, coconut groves, and the rustic lifestyle of villagers. The scenic trek also offers some opportunities for bird watching, so don’t forget the binoculars. The serene peace amidst nature combined with excellent company is exactly what one needs to focus on resetting and bonding with friends.
Wrap up Day 2 with a chill-out bonfire gathering at a private beach. BeachBaby Beach Resort has comfortable camping huts, bonfire arrangements, and a breathtaking private beach and offers the perfect setting to catch the sunset while relaxing with your bachelor party. Beach Baby offers an unforgettable evening where everyone can open up and share great memories while savoring some Kerala Malabari cuisine and a private beach view.
If you have an additional day in Varkala, you can visit the Janardhana Swami Temple, the historically rich Anjengo Fort, and the Kappil Beach, known for its backwater lagoon. To make this itinerary slightly more relaxing, you can skip the hike, or lessen it and enjoy the private beach resort on Day 2. However, if you have an extra day at Varkala, you can extend your trek to complete the famed Varkala-Ponnumthuruthu Island trek.
