Arrived at Trivandrum Airport, took an auto to reach Varkala. It took me 1 hour to reach my beach destination- VARKALA. Checked into the resort and headed to North Cliff for lunch. Evening was also relaxed and slept early as I had to wake up early for Surfing Session

Instructor took us to an unnamed beach where the waves are apt for surfing. We were given initial sessions on how to get on the board, proper weight management on the board and we were also taught about the board and basics. We stretched and warmed up on the beach. After surfing session of 1.5 hours, we were exhausted. Had a quick breakfast, and slept for long hours. Then headed to Black Beach to witness sunset.

It was a day of fighting with waves and getting on the board by ourselves and catching waves. The instructors helped us in analysing the waves. After surfing session we went to North Cliff and did some cafe hopping. Sat at Taco 82 to wait for the sunset, trust me it’s the best place to have speciality coffee and food against the backdrop of amber sunset in Varkala. I witnessed my life’s best sunsets from here.

After I was done with my surfing session, I took breakfast, hired a scooty from a local store and headed towards Munroe Island. It is situated inside a mangrove forest, you can easily hire a boat and go kayaking or boating in the forest. The boat ride with charge you ₹700-1000 INR. It is a 2 hour ride from Varkala, either you can stay near Munroe or ride back, both are doable. I came back because next morning 6am surfing session was the final one.

Last day in Varkala was quite eventful. Got done with my final surfing session and headed to a nearby waterfall with my surfing instructor. He charged me ₹1000 for this and was worth it. After coming back we stopped at Kappil Beach. It is a beautiful coastal road with backwaters on one side and sea on the other. There is one SURF UP PADDLE school that takes you on a sunset SUP trip in the backwaters. I took it and what a lovely evening it wasssss..!
