Varkala Essentials

Varkala is defined by its unique geological formations where Cenozoic sedimentary cliffs overlook the Arabian Sea. This coastal town centers on Papanasam Beach, a site for ancestral rites, and the 2,000-year-old Janardhana Swami Temple. Beyond the main cliffs, the area features traditional Kathakali performance centers, the tranquil backwaters of Ponnumthuruthu Island, and secluded spots like Odayam Beach where traditional shore-pull net fishing remains a daily practice.
