Varkala Hotels - Reviews and Rates

Com vaig prometre'm, passo un parell de dies fruint de les aigues no gaire transparents i fredes del mar d'Arabia i de les maginifiques possibilitats gastronomiques de la regio. La camera de fotos tambe pren un petit descans.

As promised, I spent a couples of days indulging myself with the not so transparent but ...

We couldn't decide what to do after the house boating. We have lots of things we would like to do in Rajisthan  and there abouts - Agra, Jodphur, Jaipauir, Uaidipur, Varanasi etc, but it is now heading up to 40 degrees there. We are melting here at 35 degrees with 95% humidity so we know it is unrealistic to think we can trapse around looking at...

We left Goa feeling very healthy and bronzed but ready to move on, which isn't always the case, so it was nice. Our train journey was to be sixteen hours in a 3 a/c carriage, which meant three bunks each side to be shared of course with older Indian men who would snore through the night. I nearly had my legs clipped a few times trying to make my...

It seems like months since I last updated the blog. We've done so much in the last week. Last Sunday night we sat at a bar on the cliffs in Varkala and watched another thunderstorm from afar. We got up early on the Monday morning to watch the fishermen pulling in the nets on the smaller "Black Beach". This was some sight, as you can see by the p...

The most unique beach setting we have seen in a while : a crescent beach crowned by a golden cliff lined with restaurants and guest houses to suit every taste. As the cliff is receding , some shops will soon get threatened and some restaurants will loose their front garden, so hurry to pay a visit there. We also wonder how much longer the site w...

Trying to keep some kind of schedule ,I follow Nicole,my neighbouring french tourist to her daily morning yoga with ayurvedic Doctor,S M Satyanandan.We pass his office and watch him give an offering and prayer at a small altar.Lean,flexible and strong as bamboo,he lead us like sleepwalkers under hypnosis.I'm always about to break into laughter a...

So after the narly journey we needed a break, and Varkala beach is certainly a place geared up for doing nothing. Beautiful long sandy beach, backed by high red sandstone cliffs, no one here but backpackers, chilled out beach cafes showing movies....you get the idea. It is the end of the season so things in Varkala were even quieter than they us...
