Getting to Madurai
The overachiever of the South, Madurai is the best place for witnessing ancient Dravidian culture, as well as for gorging on the best food in the region. The scent of Jasmine flowers is ever pervading in any shopping area, and the ready made silk and cotton garments attract thousands every year. 

The temples of the region, such as the Meenakshi temple make neighboring holy places feel insignificant.  

Anyone who loves food, loves Madurai. The variety of food in each cuisine is unbeatable, as Madurai is also the food capital of the south. Enjoy lunch on a banana leaf, or in a dine fine in a classy five star restaurant.
