So we are going to Varkala, a coastal cliff and beach in the state of Kerala. Approximately 430km from Ooty. It was suggested by few of our classmates and their families for good seafood (since me and two of other classmates who are traveling are Bengalis and Bengalis have a disturbing inclination towards fish) and better climate for our Moonlight photography assignment. We started on 17th evening and decided to drive down to Coimbatore and hault for the night at one of our tavel-mates' place. We reached coimbatore around 10-30 in the night and grabbed a bite at Domino's Pizza (Those who doesn't know, its a happening Pizza franchise nowadays in India like Burger King in US). I retired to bed while girls were watching Big Boss (some trashy version of Big Brother) around 12-30 in the morning.
Next morning we boarded a train from Coimbatore around 9-20 in the morning (which was already running 1 hour late) and still in the coaches awaitingour destination to come. Almost everyone is sleeping and I am trying to find out the reason not to talk to go to my bunk and instead write this.
Lets talk about Varkala. A small town in Kerala, this place is located near the cost of Arabian sea. The cliff is the only place to visit. With an avarage hight of 250 ft. the cliff is a natural beauty to savour. Sea food and tranquilty is the specialty of this place which attracts mostly foreign tourists (especially elderly people, who are tired of everyday life in some busy European city). Approximately 2 and half km. away from the main town and railway station this place is visited by a large number of tourists almost around the year. The peak season is from November to February. It is connected through Rail and road from all major southern Indian cities, e.g. Hyderabad via Coimbatore. Chennai Via Thiruvanantapuram, and directly from Trivandrum. I hope that this give me some fruit when I taking some much of trouble.
