Varkala Cliff

Perched majestically above the Arabian Sea, Varkala Cliff stands as an iconic landmark along Kerala's picturesque coastline. This natural wonder, also known as "The Great Ezhara Beach," offers visitors a captivating blend of breathtaking views, vibrant culture, and serene ambiance. 

Varkala Cliff is a geologically important site in the region. The cliff is formed by laterite and overlooks the Varkala beach. It has been declared as a Geological monument by the Geological Survey of India but the stunning view of the golden beach and the playful waves that it offers is worth a visit for beach lovers and photographers.

Rising dramatically from the golden sands below, Varkala Cliff treats visitors to panoramic vistas of the azure waters of the Arabian Sea stretching as far as the eye can see. The cliff's rugged terrain is adorned with lush greenery, adding to its allure and providing the perfect backdrop for memorable sunsets and leisurely strolls.

Beyond its natural splendor, Varkala Cliff holds deep spiritual and cultural significance. Atop the cliff lies the ancient Janardhana Swamy Temple, dedicated to Lord Vishnu, attracting pilgrims and devotees from far and wide. Nearby, the Sivagiri Mutt, a renowned spiritual center founded by the philosopher and social reformer Sree Narayana Guru, stands as a beacon of peace and enlightenment.
