Start your luxurious trip by visiting the beautiful Varkala Beach. Enjoy the warm sun, soft sand, and gentle waves. Take a dip in the clear blue ocean and relax under the beach umbrellas. Hire a beach lounge chair and get a full-body massage by expert masseuses and enhance the blissful experience. As the evening approaches, enjoy the sunset and take a picture of the cliff vantage point to capture the beautiful moment.
Start day two with a visit to the Janardhana Swami Temple, a serene and ancient temple. The temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu and is considered one of the oldest temples in India. The beautiful architecture of the temple with intricate carvings and murals makes it a perfect location for photography. Participate in a group Yoga session on the temple premises, lead by a trained Yogic instructor, for a unique spiritual and physical experience.
After visiting the temple, take a boat ride to the beautiful Golden Island. Enjoy the natural scenery and witness the marine life from the deck of the boat. Later, explore the island and its surroundings, take a swim or go snorkelling in the island's crystal clear water. Take a stroll around its pristine beaches and enjoy a delightful seafood lunch at the beachside cafes.
Varkala is a small and peaceful place. However, it has a lot to offer, especially for those who seek luxury. If you have an extra day, take a ferry from Kollam to Varkala and visit Anjengo Fort, built in the mid-17th century. For a relaxing and rejuvenating experience, visit the Keral Ayurvedic and Spa. If you have any concerns about travelling, contact a known travel agent or the hotel reception to guide you on your journey.
