Start your honeymoon adventure in the beautiful Varkala Beach, also known as Papanasam Beach. This pristine beach is surrounded by red cliffs and blue waters. Enjoy some sunbathing as you hear the waves crashing against the shore. Go for a swim or take a walk on the sandy beach. You can indulge in some water sports like surfing, parasailing, and jet-skiing here. As the day ends, relax and marvel at the stunning sunset from one of the shacks on the beach.
The Varkala Cliff is a must-visit place for honeymoon couples. Take a walk along the cliff while you enjoy the panoramic view of the sea. You can visit the Janardhanaswamy Temple, which is more than 2,000-year-old located on the top of the cliff. You can also visit the local markets for some souvenir shopping. Later, unwind and experience an Ayurveda massage from any of the authentic Ayurveda spas on the cliff.
If you have more time, you can explore the Anjengo Fort located around 10 km from Varkala, which was built by the British East India Company in 1695. You can also visit the Kappil Beach located 7 km north of Varkala Beach and enjoy a serene sunset.
If you have less time, you can skip the Ayurveda massage and spend the day at the Varkala Beach where you can visit the 800-year-old Sivagiri Mutt, established by Sri Narayana Guru.
