点评:This place is a worthwhile breakaway from your beach routine when in Varkala. I found this sight a wonderful fill-in for a daily routine of beach and beverages. I will split my review into stages so that I can do justice to the entire experience.
Parking: Very well designated and entry and exit is peaceful even with lots of tourists. The parking staff are warm and well-mannered and guide you well.
Ticketing Enclave: This is well designed and credit should be given for the smartness in design. The ticketing itself is divided into 2 halves, one that gets you into the building that houses the reception, restaurant and the entry to the ropeway. The other half has the ticketing room for purchasing the ticket for the ropeway. So, the crowd gets divided into two while one tries to get into the main building the other is getting into the ropeway. The best takeaway is that the queue will be short enough to be under the shelter during the heat and humidity of Kerala. The main building is airconditioned so you don't break a sweat.
Ropeway: The approach to the ropeway is through a cafe which has short-eats and beverages whereas exit has a restaurant which provides meals to the needy. There is an elevator that takes you to the floor where the ropeway has its pickup and there are seats for the elderly to relax while they wait for their turn. The cubicles are clean and ventilated and the ascent takes not more than 10 minutes. The views are totally based on the time of your visit and we got some nice pleasant climate so were the views.
Earth Center: This was closed for renovation so we couldn't get inside to experience it so we just went around it and took some snaps with our friends. There is a temple alongside which you can visit while you are there. The whole place is exceptionally clean and well maintained which is the highlight of any place you visit while in Kerala.
There is a kiosk that sells some refreshments and a small shop set up by ISKON if one needs to fulfill their devotional quotient and spend some time sitting around the hillock. There is a pathway for walking around the hillock and one can use their imaginative skills of camera and take some good snaps. The whole sight took about an hour and a quarter for us while you could spend another 30 minutes or so if needed and based on the leisure and availability of time.
The return pickup area is again nicely organized with chairs for the elderly and needy while they wait for their turn and you come back with lots of memories and smiles.
Cheers
翻译:这个地方值得您暂时告别在瓦卡拉的海滩游玩。我发现这个地方是海滩和饮料日常游玩的完美补充。我将把我的评论分为几个阶段,以便能够公正地评价整个体验。
停车场:非常规范,即使有很多游客,出入口也很安静。停车场工作人员热情有礼,会很好地为您指引方向。
售票区:设计精良,值得称赞的是其巧妙的设计。售票区本身分为两半,一半带您进入设有接待处、餐厅和索道入口的大楼。另一半是售票室,用于购买索道票。因此,人群被分成两半,一部分试图进入主楼,另一部分试图进入索道。最好的收获是,在喀拉拉邦的炎热和潮湿天气中,排队的人会很短,可以躲在避难所里。主楼有空调,所以您不会出汗。
索道:通往索道的入口处有一家提供快餐和饮料的咖啡馆,而出口处有一家为有需要的人提供餐食的餐厅。有一部电梯可以带您到达索道接送的楼层,那里有供老年人在等待轮到他们时休息的座位。隔间干净通风,上升时间不超过 10 分钟。景色完全取决于您访问的时间,我们享受了宜人的气候,景色也是如此。
地球中心:由于装修而关闭,所以我们无法进去体验,所以我们只是在周围转了一圈,和我们的朋友拍了几张照片。旁边有一座寺庙,您可以在那里参观。整个地方非常干净,维护良好,这是您在喀拉拉邦参观的任何地方的亮点。
有一个售卖一些茶点的售货亭和一家由 ISKON 设立的小商店,如果您需要满足他们的虔诚需求并花一些时间坐在小山丘周围,可以去那里。有一条小路可以绕着小山走,你可以用相机的想象力拍一些好照片。整个景点我们花了大约一个小时十五分钟,如果需要的话,你可以再花 30 分钟左右,这取决于你的闲暇和时间安排。
回程接送区再次组织得很好,为老年人和有需要的人准备了椅子,让他们等着,你带着许多回忆和微笑回来。
干杯
