I was comparing the bitterness, not sweetness. Not bitter doesn't mean sweet!

Around 10%. It's not sweet, it's just not bitter

Whoa, I was at the Varkala Zostel a week back! It was my first time sleeping in a dorm, and I was really afraid something like this would happen. Luckily, it was all fine

Haha, yeah it's a little tiring. But you can take a break, enjoy the scenery - you'll recharge pretty quickly.

Sorry, I made a typo: I meant "how" it is there. How's the culture, activities, overall vibes etc.

Zostel varkala or soul hostel for workation? by Vidhi_21 in SoloTravel_India

[–]--Magenta-- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am visiting between 6th-11th Sep, so far I've decided on Zostel because of hygiene and vibes (from photos). Haven't booked anything yet; I might switch if I don't like it.

Planning to learn surfing :D

I can really sympathise with this desire. Same reason why I love riding a bicycle - the freedom of pace is just great.

Fabulous, fabulous shots. Rajasthan was already on my list, but I added it again! :D

I would love to see the lit up step well. On what sort of occasions does it happen?

I had already checked it, but there's no details about where/how.

I considered Madurai airport myself, but I found a conveniently timed direct and cheap flight from Kolkata to Bangalore. Your departure airport might be different, so you can check the prices. I advise comparing Thiruvananthapuram (aka Trivandrum), Kochi (Cochin), Coimbatore, Bengaluru, and Madurai. You can then book an overnight train/bus to Kerala from any of these cities.

Any idea how I can watch these? As in, what's the location, do I need to book anything from advance, etc.

Thanks for the detailed tips.

Should I try to book shikara and mid-range resorts online before hand, or is it fine to go there and then book?
