Prominent among the attractions of Varkala is the ‘Papanasam’ Beach – named so because of the popular belief that a dip in the holy waters of this beach will wash away all your sins, thereby purifying your body and soul. The beach is known for its white, silvery sands, mineral springs and rocky cliffs and is also revered as a major pilgrim destination for Hindus.
Varkala is also referred as ‘Southern Kashi’ and the Varkala Tour Packages will introduce you to the magnificent Janardana Swamy Temple - a 2000 year old temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu.
The natural springs emerging from high cliffs are among the other attractions of Varkala. Rich in mineral waters and believed to possess medicinal properties, these springs draw several tourists to this serene beach resort.
