 Varkala Beach, Kerala by suvanki
The beach is reached by climbing down steps from the top of the steep cliff face. ( probably not to be recommended for those with walking/breathing difficulties)
The cliffs/ beach have experienced accidents that have been alcohol related, so officially Varkala is a 'dry' resort. If you want an alcoholic beverage, have a quiet word with your waiter!!
The long white sandy beach and softly sloping waters edge, makes this a good place for swimming/ relaxing. It appeared to be a lot quieter than the beaches of Kovalam.
Ayurveda, yoga, massage etc can be experienced.
Kathakali performances can be seen Dec - January.
At the top of the cliffs are a variety of cafes/ restaurants, tourist info, money exchange and shops. (One selling Tibetan goods)
Taxi and tuk tuk ranks nearby.
motorbike hire also available
Accommodation from budget to more upmarket, found between town and beach area.
The sea here in January was nice and warm, a great relaxing experience! Leave a Comment Address: Varkala Beach, Nr KollamDirections: 42km n of Trivandrum 24 km s of Kollam Trains and regular buses to/ from these places. 2km from Varkala town and train station to the beach.

 Man swimming for toddy by suvanki

 Sailin in God's own country by alycat
Living is a houseboat which is one of the major attractions, an absolutely wonderful, unforgettable experience, which unfortunately we didnt do, but we did go on a days ride ride in the backwaters of Alleppy in a houseboat, a smaller one though! Most of the houseboats are huge, slow moving, exotic barge used for leisure trips - are the reworked boats of olden times.
Have a ride in one of these for an experience of a lifetime, even if it is a short ride for a few hours, cos it truly lets u see the life of ordinary people living in the backwaters of kerala. Leave a Comment

 Chinese Fishing Nets by Canadienne
A few of my group members were really pleased with the antiques shops in Jew Town ~ home to India's oldest synague. The synagogue itself was closed due to a community death the week we were there (only twenty-odd Jews still remain in Kochi).
The Chinese fishing nets are found on the north-west of Fort Kochi. Leave a Comment

 Atmospheric Periyar Lake by Canadienne
It has officially been declared a tiger reserve, but much of its "fame" is also based on it being an excellent place to sight elephants. I can't attest to either one. . .our boatride around the lake was beautiful, but devoid of any notable wildlife. :-) Leave a Comment
