Start your nature trip with a visit to Varkala Beach, famous for its stunning cliffs, soft white sand, and sparkling blue waters. Enjoy a peaceful walk along the beach, take a refreshing swim, or relax under the sun. You can also try some local snacks and fresh seafood from the beachside shacks. The beach is relatively less crowded in June, making it perfect for a quiet escape.
Visit the Varkala Cliff, a naturally formed rocky shoreline that offers breathtaking views of the Arabian Sea. The cliff is dotted with small shops, cafes, and restaurants, providing a perfect spot for a short break. Take a stroll along the cliff, watch the sunset, and enjoy the cool breeze. Next, head to Kappil Lake, a serene backwater located close to the cliff. Take a boat ride and immerse yourself in the lush green surroundings.
Embark on a day trip to Ponnumthuruthu Island, a small island located in the backwaters of Varkala. The island is blessed with natural beauty, pristine beaches, and lush greenery. Take a boat ride, explore the island's serene surroundings, and visit the ancient Shiva-Parvathi temple. Next, visit the Janardana Swami Temple, a 2000-year-old temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu. The temple is known for its intricate architecture, serene surroundings, and spiritual significance.
