Varkala, the cliff in daylight

The north cliff and the beach below it. Swim where other people are swimming. The path is not a night walk.

Before you go. If you drink, stop before the path home. Take the lit road.

Overview

Written for travelling alone. The cliff looks gentle and the drop is not.

Day by day

  1. Day 1 — Arrive and the beach

    Train to Varkala, auto to the cliff. Nothing else.

  2. Day 2 — Swim and stop

    Morning swim. A long lunch. No second beach.

  3. Day 3 — Out

    One more swim if the sea is the same as yesterday. Then the train.

Where to sleep, eat, and how to get there

Stay

Where to sleep

A room back from the cliff edge, not hanging over it. About ₹1,500.

Move

How to arrive

One shared seat in. Walk after that. Leave a buffer on the day you go home.
