Start your relaxing holiday at Varkala Beach. This secluded beach is backed by tall cliffs and offers a serene and quiet atmosphere. Take a stroll along the coastline or just relax under the sun. Get some fresh seafood at one of the numerous beachside shacks and try out some water sports such as parasailing and surfing.
Explore the Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary, a 14-acre sanctuary located on the banks of Vembanad Lake. Take a walking or boat tour to observe the numerous bird species, including herons, egrets, and kingfishers. It’s a peaceful environment where you can escape from the city’s hustle and bustle.
If you have more time, consider visiting the Alleppey Backwaters, which offers a picturesque scene and a houseboat ride. If you have less time, try to visit Kovalam Beach instead of Varkala Beach as it’s closer to the airport.
