About Madurai
Madurai: the ancient temple city on the Vaigai, said never to sleep. What draws visitors is the Meenakshi Amman temple, jigarthanda, jasmine and late-night idli stalls.
After the drop, guests often head to:
Best months: October to March. Fix your pickup point on a main road near the temple; the inner lanes are closed to cars during festivals.
The temple core is jammed by mid-morning, so a pre-8 AM start, or a late-evening run, gets you out of Madurai the fastest.
We drop at any address in Madurai; frequent drop points are Anna Nagar, KK Nagar, Goripalayam, Tallakulam, Thiruppalai and Simmakkal, and the station or stand at Madurai Junction railway station and Mattuthavani bus terminus.
