Absolutely perfect way to see all the main sights of Madurai. Our guide Meeran was fantastic, accommodating every request and imparting so much knowledge of the places we visited and also about the vibrant city of Madurai.

Someone once told me that Madurai is a village of 2 million people. So it is. I loved the energy of Madurai and the surrounding area during the Pongal festivities. Everywhere people were celebrating and graciously allowed us to join in.
The temple was jammed with devotees waiting for a brief blessing by Shiva while those of us not Hindu waited for the final ceremony of the day by sitting around the central tank soaking up the sights, sounds and smells of such an auspicious time.
I had wanted to see the grand sculpted and painted towers which I had seen first many years ago, but they are under renovation. If that’s a box you need to tick, you might have to wait another year or so.
The Tepakulam Tank is another place where the best of Madurai comes out. Go at night and enjoy the atmosphere.
Madurai is full of places to explore so enjoy!
