    How To Reach Varkala

    Varkala is a charming coastal town in the southern part of Kerala, famed for its stunning 15-meter high 'Northern Cliff' that gracefully hugs the Arabian Sea. Here, you can experience a delightful mix of natural beauty, spiritual serenity, and vibrant cultural charm. The town is a haven for those who enjoy the laid-back hippie vibe, with cosy shacks perched on the cliff serving delicious seafood and playing an eclectic mix of global music. You can also visit the serene samadhi of Kerala's beloved saint, Sree Narayana Guru, and the revered Janardana Swami Temple, often lovingly called Dakshin Kashi. For travellers, Varkala is conveniently accessible from various parts of India, with excellent railway connections. Both private and public buses, especially those operated by the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation, frequently service the area, ensuring smooth journeys to and from Varkala. While there isn't a direct flight to the town, the nearest airport in Thiruvananthapuram is only about 40 kilometres away, making it easy to reach this beautiful destination.

      By Air

      Varkala does not have any designated airport. So there’s no direct flight to Varkala. The nearest airport to Varkala is Thiruvananthapuram. One can take a flight to Trivandrum International Airport. Once reached, hire a cab or taxi to reach Varkala. One can also take a bus to get to this beautiful destination. Depending on the traffic, reaching Varkala from the airport will take up to 2 hours.

      By Train

      Varkala is home to its railway station, the Varkala Sivagiri Railway Station. It’s wonderfully connected to major cities like Trivandrum, Kochi, Kollam, and Chennai. With several trains coming in and out of Varkala each day, it’s an easy and convenient way for travellers to get around. Once you arrive at the railway station, you’ll find plenty of auto-rickshaws and taxis ready to whisk you away to explore all Varkala has to offer!

      By Road

      Varkala is a breeze to reach by road from different areas of Kerala and neighbouring states! National Highway 66 runs through Varkala, linking it to lovely cities like Trivandrum, Kochi, and Kollam. You’ll find state-run and private buses offering regular services to Varkala from many major cities and towns in Kerala. Plus, if you prefer, you can easily hire a taxi or enjoy a self-drive adventure on the beautiful, well-maintained roads leading to Varkala.

      By Sea

      Travelling to Varkala by waterways offers a wonderfully unique and picturesque experience! While it might not be the most popular transport option, it brings something special to your journey. The Varkala Tunnel connects to National Waterway 3, inviting travellers to enjoy a beautiful passage through the city's captivating landscape. This enchanting trip adds to Varkala's charm and allure as a stunning coastal destination.

        Delhi

        Samkariabhanu's 5 days trip to Varkala

        The overall trip experience was 3/5 type.. Trip organised by Comfort destinations(Sameer) PROS: -The hotels in munnar and Thekkady were amazing. -Driver was more than perfect and also locally known as honeymoon specialist- Shan -Food was amazing and super tasty during whole trip including breakfast
        in hotels, local food, food at house boat in Alleppey. CONS: -Poor experience with houseboat: No TV, no ac whole day, stinking rooms, linguistic barrier with crew, boat only sailed for 2 hrs in whole day. -Many things mentioned in the itentary for 3 day(munnar to thakkedy) but driver refused to travel, later travel agent told that this was mentioned by mistake. -Driver refused to give luggage on last day due to some payment issue, it was later sorted out by travel agent. -As it was honeymoon trip, 1 candlelight dinner with room decoration was mentioned in the trip at houseboat. But unfortunately it didn't happened.. poor management.. -In Thekkady, there was no sightseeing by driver, he told to see some evening shows and go to a jungle safari. -There is a issue of advance booking in periyar tiger reserve in Thekkady, it should have been told to us in advance. Hence we tried on the spot booking and didn't get it. The munnar views and hotel was best.. Driver(Shan) was amazing

        Gaurav's 6 days trip to Varkala

        first of all thanks to Miss Sheetal from tripseller, who well planed our kerala trip. stays were excellent, princess de munnar resort was awesome place, staff was also so good and they had given well services. In Thekkady periyar meadows hotel was more than expectations, and they had given us proper
        service. only in kovalam, golden sand resort had disappointed me little bit, there was no food after 9:30 pm and no hot water for bath after 10 pm and double bed also not comfortable, they had joined two single bed with two single mattresses. our guide cum driver Mr. Raju sangun, were so humble person, he guided us very well about every place. Munnar is mesmerizing place. My daughter most liked Kathakali show and elephant ride of Thekkady. Kovalam beach is funfull and relaxing place. My daughter has full enjoy the sea water in Kovalam beach. Jatayu monuments is unbelievable place. Povar Island is heaven. Boating in povar lake brings us close to nature.
