Begin your Varakala bachelor party by exploring the stunning Varakala Beach which is a must-visit place. Known for its serene waters, the beach offers exceptional views of the Arabian Sea and is less crowded and more peaceful than Kovalam. Spend your day by enjoying water sports activities like surfing, parasailing, and windsurfing. Conclude your day by chilling in the beach shacks and sip on a few beers and enjoy seafood.
Start your day by visiting the Janardana Swamy Temple, a 2000-year-old temple located on a beautiful hilltop. Take a guided tour of the temple and understand its history. The architecture of the temple will leave you spellbound. If you are lucky, you may witness the colorful festival of ten-day-long Arattu festival held in April every year. Another attraction nearby is the Kappil Beach which is an extension of the Arabian Sea, separating the beach and Backwaters. End your day by unwinding on the beach and indulging in some recreational activities like volleyball and cricket.
On this day, visit one of the most historic places in Varakala, the Anjengo Fort. Situated along the coast, this 17th-century fort has a unique hexagonal structure and was used by the British colonial rulers for trading activities. Now, the fort is a popular tourist destination and serves as a historic monument. Next, head to Varkala Tunnel that connects Varkala Cliff to the Arabian Sea coast, and is an architectural marvel you must visit. Enjoy a sunset view of the Arabian Sea with a drink in your hand before heading back to your accommodations.
If you have additional time, visit the Kollam city and Ashtamudi Lake to experience the local village life and witness the ancient Chinese fishing nets.
If you have less time, replace Anjengo Fort with Varkala Cliff to enjoy shopping, food, and drinks while taking in the gorgeous views of the sea from a height.
