We had a lovely time at beautiful Kaabha! We had our own room with private bathroom and access to kitchen where food supplies was provided but we cocked for our self. Which made us in control of our time. We worked for 6 hours a day and 5 days per week. We could decide when we did our work as well. During our free time we where usually at the beach, (10 min walk) . Enjoying local food or just hang around kaabha. Sometime a bit hard w communication cuz host was not present. Varkala is a beautiful place to visit and everyone is very kind and feels save. I really recommend Kaabha!

We had a lovely time at Kaabha.
Shiji, the person in charge at the place is so kind, fun and helpful.
At the time we were staying the manager Karish, was not present at the place and the communication about work and tasks was based on text message and voice calls which worked out well.

Our main task was to paint murals which was really fun.

The atmosphere and the garden was like a dream and laying in the pool under the palm trees after a day of paintwork was lovely.

The place is in a super peaceful and nice beach town in a calm area. Around 10 minutes away there is the beautiful beach

Arriving in Varkala for the first time, I hoped to help build a spiritual sanctuary at Kaabha, but I quickly found myself navigating a project in its primal stages. With an absent owner and an overworked non-English speaking manager, my role shifted from yoga and marketing to acting as a mediator between guests and local staff. Thanks to the volunteers who arrived a week later I was able to enjoy my stay. Kaabha holds a lot of potential, just be mindful to manage expectations!
