    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.

        Shivang's 5 days trip to Varkala

        My trip was kerala was arranged by Namaskaram travels. My agent Sunny was very helpful throughout the trip. However I had some bad experience through the trip. The hotel in Munnar, Grand Valley, which was given to me in a 4 star package package was not of the standard for a 4-star. The location of t
        he hotel was 100-150 m steep down the road, which could only be reached through hotel jeep, our traveller stayed out. A good hotel but not a 4 star. The next day, my traveller broke down on our way to Thekkady and we were stuck in the middle of nowhere for a couple of hours. The agency arranged for another traveller which covered our itenary for that day and dropped us to our hotel, Woodnote, which was the best in our trip. Local arrangements were made for our siteseeing in Thekkady, which were also good. Finally, a new traveller was assigned to us for our remaining trip, with with we covered Allepy and our drop to Kochi. Overall: Traveller Experience: 2/10 Grand Valley View, Munnar: 4/10 Woodnote, Thekkady: 10/10 Time Square, Allepy: 7/10 Agent Communication: 10/10 Travel Triangle Communication: 10/10
