    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.

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

National Highway 66 runs through Varkala, linking it to lovely cities like Trivandrum, Kochi, and Kollam.

        Everything was well organised. We booked our trip from Exotic rails and they understood my requirement carefully to plan the itenery accordingly. We were skeptical about driver so the owner himself joined throughout the drive. He explained about the history and importance of different places. It was
        a great experience. Looking forward for more .
