Beaches Varkala
Varkaly beach is divided into two parts, between which is the source where the local people go for water:
- south shore is a relatively quiet fishing village with several hotels and salons, located on steep slopes interspersed with the houses of local residents. The beach here is gentle and plays the role of a pedestrian zone, along which locals, cows and dogs walk. In addition, there are quite strong currents here:
- northern shore of Varkala (Papanasam beach) is a full-fledged resort with many hotels and restaurants, shops and ayurvedic clinics. The beach is on a rock, so you have to go down to the water along a steep path. But there are always a few people here, and in the daytime there can be flocks of bright birds in the sun loungers.
Treatment
Almost everywhere you can find not only clinics with massage, but also private doctors, for example, masseuse Tanga, which is located next to the Palms Beach Resort on the south bank. For hourly body massage, she takes 450 INR.
In the clinic the same massage will cost 800-100 INR. Photo of Varkala (17)
