Varkala is a picturesque seaside town in Kerala, India, that boasts rugged cliffs falling toward the Arabian Sea. It has Varkala Beach, where people enjoy golden sand, sacred springs, and spectacular sunsets.
A treasure hidden in the southern Indian state of Kerala, Varkala offers an experience that intermixes some of the finest natural and spiritual wellbeing, but what would make Varkala different is the extensive and majestic red laterite cliffs dramatically framing the golden coastline which contrasts starkly with the turquoise waters of the Arabian Sea.
It is not only their beauty that brings these cliffs to our attention; a number of natural springs exist here, whose water is believed to possess curative properties. Thousands and thousands of people visit the beach for a holy bath in Papanasam waters that will cleanse away the sins and purify the soul according to Hindu traditions.
