Begin your honeymoon by visiting the beautiful Varkala beach. Admire the stunning sea cliffs and relax on the sandy beach. Take a dip in the Arabian Sea and try some water sports, like surfing or parasailing. Stroll along the cliff side and enjoy the scenic views from the nearby eateries.
Head to the historic Anjengo Fort for an insight into Kerela's colonial history. Witness the charred remains of the old British factory and the clock tower. Learn about the famous lighthouse that guided ships at sea for over a century. Finally, visit the nearby Sivagiri Mutt, a prominent pilgrimage site.
End your honeymoon trip by visiting the picturesque Kappil Lake. This serene location is perfect for a romantic boat ride or a trip on a traditional Kettuvallam (houseboat). The tranquil lake is surrounded by lush green forests and has a small island that is perfect for a picnic. Spend your sunset watching the sun go down over the beautiful vista.
If you have extra time, add a visit to the Janardana Swamy Temple, a famous temple just 10 minutes from Varkala Beach that has a large Gopuram and beautiful architecture. Those who may prefer Ayurvedic treatments or massages can head to the famous Varkala Ayurveda Center.
If you have less time, skip the Anjengo Fort and spend more time exploring the Varkala Beach by trying out more water activities, or take a day trip to the Golden Island, an island located about 30-minutes from Varkala by boat.
