Varkala Cliff (North Cliff)

Varkala Cliff (North Cliff)

Varkala Cliff (Helipad Cliff) is Kerala's most iconic beach destination — a dramatic 15-metre laterite cliff running 2 km above the Arabian Sea, lined with yoga studios, restaurants, Ayurvedic spas, and boutique shops. The cliff-top path offers spectacular sea views and spectacular sunsets, while the beach below is a sacred bathing spot. One of South India's top backpacker and wellness destinations. The combination of sea, cliff, sunset, and Ayurveda makes Varkala uniquely Kerala.
