You can also take a walk along the beach and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Several cafes and restaurants along the promenade offer delicious seafood for lunch.
Take a spiritual journey on day 2 and visit the Sivagiri Mutt which is a serene ashram located atop the Sivagiri Hill. This mutt is a prominent pilgrimage center dedicated to the social reformer and philosopher, Sree Narayana Guru. You can attend the morning and evening prayers and also visit the Guru's tomb. Enjoy the panoramic view of the surroundings from the hilltop.
If you have more time, you can visit the Janardanaswamy Temple, an ancient shrine located close to the Varkala Beach. The temple is known for its beautiful architecture and offers a peaceful spiritual experience. If you have less time, you can enjoy shopping for local handicrafts at the Varkala Cliff Market which is just a stone's throw away from the beach. It is also an ideal spot for relaxing sunsets.
