Varkala

Cleanse your soul with the Spiritual Dip!

For a lonely traveller seeking for a calm, yet relaxed holiday, this beach town is the optimum place to be! Yes, with a Vishnu temple, which is over 2000 years old and an ashramam (meditation centre) named “Sivgiri Mutt”, this destination sends out a vibe that is truly mystic and unusual. Considered as one of the significant among the Hindu pilgrimage centres, the water here is believed to be sacred to have your body and soul cleansed off the sins and impurities and hence the beach has its name “Papanashini”, translated as “purifier of sins”.

The place has captured nature in its raw form; the many unusual land formations at Varkala beach are sure to render one speechless. Bordered with high cliffs, this lovely bay offers a little too much for a team set out on a trip. Enveloped with the mystic aura, Varkala, unlike Kovalam is not that prominent among tourists, yet there are numerous travellers who come here for the calmness and serenity the place reserves. If you wish to be out of the bustling city life, to experience how it is to be calm and relaxed, fix your day out at Varkala beach.
