About the campsite

Varkala is a coastal hamlet located at the outskirts of Trivandrum. With gorgeous cliff beaches & vibrant night life Varkala is fast becoming a must visit destination. Dotted by interesting cafes, seaside cliff view pubs, eateries, ayurvedic spas & a buzzing flea market, Varkala is fast becoming mini Goa. Sunset from quaint cafes', an after evening walk along the cliff & visit to the beaches are some of the must dos while in varkala.

This varkala experience has been designed in such a way that you get to experience almost all this beautiful town has to offer while you camp in a tiny, yet beautiful surfing school located just beside the beach. What's more you also get to visit Jatayu earth center, Thenmala dam etc. and also indulge in backwater kayaking.

Varkala has always been a priority in my to-visit list for a long time now . And I must say it was an wonderful experience with the Exotic team!! It was an completely hassle free and super friendly trip with the team . You can blindly trust for your future trips!! Travellers (must say even solo women-travellers) can just book through them for a safe and memorable trip!
