Tour varkala

Tour varkala Varkala is one of the most popular beach in Kerala. It is also a major Hindu pilgrimage destination. A large number of foreign tourists come here every year.

Varkala lies 50 km north of Thiruvananthapuram. The ancient temple of Lord Janardhana (Vishnu), believed to be 2000 years old, is the main attraction. The present structure of the temple is believed to date back to early 13th century. An inscription found here mentions the date of the reconstruction, and a bell presented by a Dutch sailor in the 17th century serves as the temple's main bell. The s

mall beach called Papanasham attracts the devout as well as tourists. People come here to take a dip in the water and consign the ashes of the dead. As the name suggests, it is believed immersion of the ashes here redeems the soul from sins.Overlooking the beach is a headland that stretches several kilometres. Most hotels and shops along the headland face the sea. The business here is largely seasonal and the tourist season is from October to April. A walkway along the edge of the cliff goes up several kilometres. The headland provides a panoramic view of the beach and sea. Varkala Beach is also famous for its landscape. A high rocky cliff ends abruptly and a stretch of clear sand extends down to the sea. The contrast between the cliffs, sand and sea makes Varkala Beach a striking sight. The sunset at Varakala Beach is truly breathtaking with the sun sinking into the sky like a ball of molten gold as the sun and sea are tinged with crimson and vermilion.
