The Destinations on This Route

A little background on each place this trip takes you to.

Kovalam Beach

Kovalam is a classic Kerala beach town, its long Arabian Sea coastline anchored by a working lighthouse that's still open to visitors, with a relaxed pace suited to families and couples alike.

Kovalam Lighthouse

The Kovalam Lighthouse, painted in distinctive red and white bands, stands over the beach and is open to visitors willing to climb to the top for a sweeping view of the coastline.

Varkala Cliff

Varkala's dramatic red laterite cliffs run along the shoreline above Papanasam Beach, lined with a row of clifftop cafes and shops, and are the town's signature sunset spot.

Papanasam Beach

Papanasam Beach sits directly below the Varkala cliffs and is considered sacred by some Hindu pilgrims for its ritual bathing, alongside its everyday use as Varkala's main beach.
