The location of Varkala does not primarily reside in its historical landmarks; instead, it is characterized by its tranquil backwaters. This tour aims to provide an immersive experience into the vibrant city of Varkala, offering insights into its rich cultural heritage through the Magical Varkala Tour.



Embark on an unforgettable 8-hour journey through the vibrant streets of Varkala, a charming coastal town nestled amidst the serene backdrop of India’s countryside. Your adventure commences with a tranquil drive towards Varkala Beach, where panoramic vistas unfold beyond the confines of the Anchuthengu Fort.

Next, immerse yourself in the awe-inspiring beauty of Varkala Cliff, an ethereal red sandstone formation overlooking the Arabian Sea. Ascend these majestic cliffs for a breathtaking view of the coastline, or explore the nearby Ponnumthuruthu Island, renowned for its Shiva-Parvati Hindu temple, affectionately called the Golden Temple.

Travel further inland to discover the ancient Sri Janardanaswamy Temple, one of the oldest in the region, dedicated to Lord Vishnu. This magnificent structure stands testament to Varkala’s rich cultural heritage.

Throughout your journey, savor the delightful ambiance of other picturesque backwater sites and golden sand beaches along the coast. Indulge in a sumptuous lunch at a diverse culinary establishment, ensuring your palate is equally thrilled.

As the day draws to a close, return to Varkala Beach, now brimming with laughter and joy, ready to capture every moment with cherished photographs. Your memorable experience concludes with a warm smile, filled with fond memories and lasting happiness.
