Often forgotten

  • Checked baggage · About 9 hours of travel each way, airport time included

    Many long-haul fares include one bag; low-cost carriers price each bag separately. Check the fare rules.

  • Airport transfer · Arriving by air

    The local transport line budgets getting around, not a private transfer. Check whether your stay includes one.

  • Tips and service charges · Any trip

    Customs differ by country; restaurants and drivers may expect them.

  • Souvenirs and gifts · Any trip

    Outside the activities line, which budgets what you do, not what you bring home.

A checklist, not a price list: we show an amount only where a named source has published one.

About Varkala

Red laterite cliffs run for several kilometres above Papanasam beach, and the clifftop path carries the cafes, guesthouses, yoga shalas and Ayurveda rooms that are the reason most people stay. The beach below is an active pilgrimage site where families perform ancestral rites, and the Janardana Swami temple and the Sivagiri Mutt sit in the town behind, so dress is modest once you step off the cliff strip. Varkala Sivagiri station puts Thiruvananthapuram under an hour away by train, which is the easier approach than the road. The sea is rough and not for swimming through the June to September monsoon.
