Begin your trip with a visit to the Castle of Varkaka, a medieval fortress located on a hill overlooking the city. Enjoy the breathtaking views of the landscape it offers from atop. There's a garden with different types of unusual plants and herbs, a chapel, an underground dungeon, and a museum exhibiting medieval artifacts inside the castle.
Embark on an adventure to the Haunted Cave of Varkaka, located deep inside the forest. People believe that a wicked witch once inhabited the cave, and strange noises and sightings have been reported. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience to hike the muddy trails and explore the eerie dark tunnels.
Relax and rejuvenate in the hot and cold pools of the Varkaka Hot Springs. Besides offering natural healing, the hot springs also provide a stunning view of the mountains. You can also indulge in a massage and enjoy some exotic snacks.
If you have additional time, explore the nearby villages. If you have less time, you may skip the Haunted Cave. Make sure to wear sturdy shoes, bring flashlights and water bottles while visiting the cave. Don't forget swimwear if you are visiting the Hot Springs.
