Since varkala is one of the few Indian beaches to offer surfing, our adventurous spirit kicked in and we decided to give it a go at the ‘Soul and Surf’. It’s all about having a good balance, and we sure needed a lot more practice, which just gave us one more reason to return to this paradise!
Think India, think hippie, the first place that usually comes to mind is Goa! But there’s something trippy and hippie about this beach haven. Sadhus with dreadlocks will be found sitting next to shops selling dream catchers, artifacts, colorful household décor, really funky jewelry, palazzo pants and multi colored clothing, all of which gives one a happy high feeling! The chilled vibe is evident when we looked down from the cliff to see everyone doing his or her own thing. Its one of the most relaxed places I have travelled to and that’s honestly very unlike India; especially south India!
