Kerala, acclaimed by the National Geographic Traveler as "one of the must-see destinations of a lifetime," is a tiny strip of land cocooned by the Arabian Sea on the West and the towering Western Ghats (Mountain ranges) in the East. Renowned for its round-the-year salubrious climate, wildlife sanctuaries, spices, rivers, backwaters and pristine beaches Kerala still has many surprisingly pleasant experiences in store.

Varkala is a quaint little fishing hamlet, just 50 km. from Thiruvananthapuram International Airport (Capital city). Along the rocky shoreline of Varkala are a couple of coves with many a virgin sandy beach. The Thiruvambady Beach with its exotic silvery black sand is the all-time favorite. Krishnatheeram is perched on the rock formation cliff hugging the Thiruvambady Beach. Spread over One-acre of prime land.

This tastefully laid out spanking new resort with an ethnic architecture is indeed a warm and welcoming sight for sore eyes.The contours of the land and the coconut palms have been judiciously left intact with a marvelous open-air restaurant overlooking the beach and offering stunning view of endless sunsets setting the horizon ablaze every evening.
