If you are planning to visit Varkala, it's important to know the best time to make the most of your trip. The optimal time to visit Varkala is during the winter months, from December to February, when the temperatures are pleasantly mild, ranging from 20°C to 30°C, and the skies are generally clear. This period offers abundant sunshine, perfect for water activities, sunbathing, and exploring the local culinary scene. Varkala also holds historical and religious significance, with ancient shrines, temples, and the Sivagiri Mutt ashram founded by Sree Narayana Guru.
