Shop till you drop at North Cliff:
Head to the North Cliff of Varkala to shop till you drop. A lot of people make own clothes from raw silk and you can order a kaftan or skirt amongst other outfits to be stitched. They will customise it for you and have it ready in minimum 24 hours, styled and tailored to your size and taste. You can also pick up trinkets, sarongs, mixed western music CDs, spices, tea masala, tea mixes and different types of coffee.
Vegetarian meal ( Sadhya ):
Sadhya is traditionally a vegetarian meal served on a banana leaf. People are seated cross-legged on the floor on a mat. All the dishes are served on the leaf and eaten with the hands without using any cutlery. The fingers are cupped to form a ladie. A Sadhya can have about 24-28 dishes served as a single course.

Surf your heart out:
You can't visit Varkala and not try surfing. Being the surfing hub, you can spend your day at the beach surfing or just try it out for a couple of hours. Most surfing schools have a beginners course, where they will first teach you how to paddle. Make sure you find a surf school with ISA Instructors and then get ready to surf your heart out. You can opt for a package or try it out for 1 or 2 days to see if you like it. While the instructors normally teach you from 6 30 am till about 10, Experienced surfers surf full day. You can rent a board and other equipment from the surf school.

Try some Yoga and Ayurveda:
Varkala has more foreigners than Indians and all of them are excellent yoga teachers. So while you're there try out a few yoga sessions. You can waken your mind and body during the morning, sunrise sessions or unwind at the end of the day as the sun sets in the background, in this enchanting place, surrounded by beautiful meadows. And once you're done surfing, you can pamper yourself with a massage. Try an ayurvedic relaxing massage or a body cleansing programme.
