Arrival in Varkala: A Magical Sunset
We arrived in Varkala from Alleppey and were greeted by the most breathtaking sunset of our lives. The sky was painted in mesmerizing shades of gold and orange, a perfect start to our journey.
Day 1: Varkala Beach & Aquarium
Varkala Beach: The Iconic Red Cliffs
Our day began at Varkala Beach, known for its rare red sandstone cliffs that rise dramatically above the Arabian Sea. Walking along the cliffs, you can hear the soothing sound of waves below. A must-visit spot for peace and relaxation.
Varkala Aquarium
A short walk from the beach led us to the Varkala Aquarium, a quaint space showcasing fascinating marine life. From vibrant fish to unique aquatic creatures, this stop added a fun, educational twist to our day.
Jatayu Earth Center: A Mythical Marvel
Next, we visited the Jatayu Earth Center, home to the world’s largest bird sculpture. This 200-ft-long masterpiece commemorates Jatayu’s sacrifice to save Sita in the Ramayana. The sculpture’s missing wing symbolizes Jatayu’s battle against Ravana. Inside, we explored the Ram Temple and saw Lord Ram’s footprints-a spiritual experience unlike any other.

Papanasam Beach: A Spiritual Retreat
Our second day began at Papanasam Beach, a place believed to wash away sins. Watching families perform rituals here was a moving and serene experience.
