Long known to Keralans as a place of pilgrimage, VARKALA,54km northwest of Thiruvananthapuram and 20km southeast of Kollam, is drawing more and more foreign visitors, who see the beautiful beach and cliffs 1500m beyond the village as a quiet, unspoiled alternative to Kovalam. Centered on a clifftop row of budget guesthouses and palm-thatch cafés, the tourist scene has so far been relatively low-key despite the arrival of the Taj Group's luxury resort and the occasional package tour group. Varkala is developing, albeit slowly, so enjoy it while you can; this tranquil spot could well go the same way as Kovalam. The best time to get here is between October and early March; during the monsoons the beach is virtually unusable.
