The Mini-Goa of South India, “Varkala”

Mini Goa “Varkala”

Varkala with Vagana, the best and most affordable car rental service to provide a self-drive experience to see a place like Goa in South India, isn’t it eager? Yes, the Varkala trip plan should be on your tour list by now for greenery and blue sightseeing. Places and details to help you plan the trip to Varkala.

The best time to visit Varkala is from January to May. Avoid going during the monsoon months of August and September, as the sea can be an unsafe zone during this time.

Hidden Treasure of Kerala

Varkala, being a coastal town, serves as one of the most beautiful beach destinations in South India. As the cool breeze slightly touches our face and the waves gracefully wash away the sands from our feet, the orange hues of the sun shimmer on the waters of the Arabian Sea, making the vibe unbelievably relaxing. People also named it the “Hidden Treasure of Kerala.”.

Janardana Swami Temple

The 2,000-year-old Janardana Swami Temple, which is an important Vaishnavite shrine in India, is one of the spots not to be missed. It is the only place in Kerala where the hills come close to the sea.

Parasailing and paragliding

Varkala Beach is a popular beach where you can enjoy various water sports activities such as parasailing and paragliding. Be wise in choosing the best way to travel with rental car booking to discover your inner peace in Varkala.

Goa vs. Varkala

If you compare Goa vs. Varkala, Goa is great for party lovers, while Varkala is great for beach lovers. The beach at Varkala is a popular spot for swimming and sunbathing, while the cliffs offer scenic views. You can see fishermen fishing and returning if you go early in the morning.

Quality time spent

To be honest, “people say that they get immersed in its beauty, and the experience is just out of this world.” Quality time was spent, including kayaking and speed boating near Kappil Beach, situated 15 minutes away from Varkala Cliff.

On April 25, 2025, we booked a self-driving rental car from Vagana. One word to describe their service is 'phenomenal.' They provided all the necessary documents and handled everything perfectly. There were no extra charges, and they gave timely updates on our booking before pickup. The best part was that as soon as we returned the vehicle, they transferred the deposit amount immediately, with no extra deductions. They truly understand how to treat customers, offering a polite and professional response. Going forward, I will recommend Vagana to my friends and colleagues whenever they need a self-rental car."

I recently had the pleasure of using Vagana Self-Drive Rental Cars, and I must say, the experience was exceptional from start to finish. The car provided was in excellent condition—clean, well-serviced, and clearly maintained to the highest standards. It drove smoothly, which made the journey both comfortable and stress-free.What truly stood out, however, was the outstanding customer care. The team was incredibly responsive, professional, and helpful at every stage of the process. They ensured that all my queries were addressed promptly and went above and beyond to make the experience seamless.I highly recommend Vagana Self-Drive Rental Cars to anyone looking for reliable vehicles and top-notch service. They set a benchmark for quality and customer satisfaction in the car rental industry. I will certainly be returning for future rentals!

Wow!!! What a great experience!!!! Vagana car rental customer service has been truly extraordinary. They have made my family vacation to Ooty a great success.I contacted them in mid/late march and received answers to all my queries about the cars and condition as well as commercials. I had special request to deliver the car (Nissan Magnite) at Coimbatore airport at the time of my arrival. And they acknowledged and then when I reached Coimbatore, the car was there. Condition of the car was excellent. Mr. Murugan is a trustworthy person and he delivered the car and helped me with all the verifications. And in hardly 10 min the car was with me. I drove with family to Ooty and found the car in super condition (as was promised!!!). On 06th day I reached Coimbatore airport earlier than was planned. And with one phone call Mr. Murugan arrived at the airport and the handing over formalities concluded again super fast (only 10 min).I strongly recommend to take car rentals from Vagana Car rentals. Super Cars, Super Service and Super People............. I am sure, I will again use their services......!!!!!

Very professional and helpful people. We hired one car from her for three days. Car was clean and in good driving conditions. Her place is on the way to Ooty and require a slight detour from Coimbatore-Ooty highway but she had honestly explained this to us before we decide to hire the car. I highly recommend her car rental service.
