Our **Kerala and Tamil Nadu Trip** began with a journey from Jaipur to Varkala via Bengaluru and Thiruvananthapuram. Despite travelling during the monsoon, we embraced the rains, enjoyed an economical meal during our Bengaluru layover, checked into our resort in Varkala, and spent a memorable evening exploring the vibrant North Cliff. This is an honest account of our first day, exactly as we experienced it.
