Varkala Sivagiri

One of the well maintained railway station in kerala. If anyone get a chance to be there , try the vegetarian shop in the station where you can get good food. Love with it !!!

This railway station though small on size, is big on revenue. It has three platforms & comes under the Thiruvananthapuram Division of the Southern Railway zone.nThere is a pilgrimage centre Sivagiri is situated at the top of the Sivagiri hill near the station. Also the Janardhana Swami Temple, a Vaishnavite temple which is estimated to be 2000 years old is close by.nBy far the most important reason for the passenger footfalls is the Varkala beach whose pristine waters change colours before your eyes and the white sands grab your attention. People from all over the world visit this beach & small restaurants with exotic European cuisines dot the kilometres-long beach & abutting cliffs.nKappil beach & Backwaters situated 8 km (5.0 mi) from Varkala is major tourist destination in Varkala.nThe station itself is very tidy and is busy almost throughout the day.

Need more facilities like shops, more waiting chairs,vast restroom thats it rest of it is perfectnB level railway station .

Mind blowing .......... And spiritual appearance..

Well maintained public transit station. The Varkala is a major tourist attraction across the country and around the globe, so the transit system should be maintained at its best. As the place is of foremost tourist attraction and the placement of Sivagiri Mutt in a proximal distance pushes the authorities to keep the city clean. The railway station holds a stop for almost all long distance trains. The railway station is strategically located in the mouth of the Varkala Municipal Bus Station. The parking facility is quite impressive.
