Where it sits in Varkala
The address is Helipad Varkala, in the town of Varkala, Thiruvananthapuram district, South Kerala. Varkala is a town in Thiruvananthapuram district, a tourism hub. The property is on the coast, by the sea.
The centre of Varkala is 2.3 km away, about 30 minutes on foot. The destination is the coast, and the cliff stands above the water. Papanasam beach below the cliff is a pilgrimage site as well as a swimming beach, so dress accordingly. Trains from Thiruvananthapuram and Kollam stop in town, so no car is needed.
Who should book here
Jickys Nest suits travellers who want a straightforward, well reviewed base near the sea, with free parking, a 24 hour front desk, air conditioning and a garden. It also suits pet owners, since pets are allowed, and guests who need wheelchair access. It will not suit anyone expecting a high star rating or resort polish. The walk to the centre takes about 30 minutes on foot, which is fine for some and a drawback for others.
When to plan a stay
The season runs from November to March. Outside those months, cliff erosion work closes stretches of the path in the wet months, so the cliff walk may be interrupted. Book within the season if the path matters to you.
