Workation in Varkala: the essentials

A line of cliffs along the Arabian Sea gives Varkala its character, and the formation is protected as a National Geological Monument. Guesthouses, yoga schools and ayurveda centres string along the North Cliff path above Papanasam Beach, where Hindus come to perform rites for the dead. The town proper, with the Janardana Swami Temple and the railway station, lies a little inland. December to March is the busy period, and many cliff businesses shut during the June to September monsoon. The cliff edge is eroding in places. Thiruvananthapuram International Airport is about 38 km to the south.
