    The beach boasts awesome cliff views, especially during sunset. The sky changes into different colors and designs, creating a mesmerizing spectacle. It’s a sight you won’t find anywhere else.
    Varkala Beach remains clean and is less crowded during weekdays. Whether you’re strolling along the shore or simply enjoying the ambiance, it’s a delightful spot to relax.

    Lulu mall and it's hypermarket is on par with any mid size mall of Dubai or Singapore.
    The layout of the mall is typical of their UAE style. Take time off to shop at the mall.

    A great experience. Dancers were good. Explained everything really well and the timing was good. We went with a four year old and she enjoyed it as much as us.

    Lord Shri Krishna temple. Beautifully built. Clean and well maintained. Ambiance is great. As far as I know for male devotees lungi is compulsory and for female devotees traditional Indian dress to enter inside (check with temple authority).

    It was an excellent experience on the beautiful lake. We booked the entire houseboat for ourselves and it was worth it. We stayed in it overnight and were well taken care of by the staff. We were provided all 3 meals which were sumptuous and were given an amazing candle-light dinner to celebrate my wife's 67th Birthday with a very tasty cake for dessert. Thoroughly enjoyed this experience.

    Two C shaped beaches with stunning scenery. Had first seen this two years ago in 2022 April when there was no tourists rush as it was post covid season. But this time it was quite crowded ( but way lesser than goa beaches ) Presence of lifeguards is admirable feature but lack of public toilets is not so great attribute. I saw many men urinating behind coconut trees after sunset. I did't see any peculiar toilet for women.

    We visited the fall in the month of December. Many of the falls in India are monsoon falls. So we were wondering if we are actually going to see any water. But we were pleasantly surprised with the flow. There were steps to go up and even a wheelchair path. The path down seemed a little tricky to navigate for older people so we just saw it from the top. Worth visiting for sure if in the area
