Madurai

MADURAI IT IS!

 Today I don't know how? But I felt that I must plan my next trip to Madurai. Maybe because today morning I ate "Idli Sambar" 😄. No this wasn't a reason, but yes this can be a reason. My love for South Indian food makes me eat it at any time of the day, without getting bored. So why not a short trip to South India that too in "Madurai".   

So let's explore it!

India is known for its ancient treasure & Madurai is one of them. Madurai is an enthusiastic & beautiful city on the Vaigai River in the South Indian territory of Tamil Nadu. The city is referred by various names including "Madurai", "Koodal", "Malligai Maanagar", "Naanmadakoodal" and "Thirualavai" . It is one of the old city in India. It purely defines Tamil culture.

It's a small beautiful city, perfect weekend outing place if you are planning to go by air. Preferinglocal transport can be the best option, even I will look for the same. As this does not cost you much. There are so many online trip adviser which will attract you , but always go for full of enjoyment in minimum cost.

The best places to visit could be Sri Meenakshi Temple, Alagarkoil Temple, and Shrine,Aayiram Kaal Mandapam, Thirumalai Nayakar Mahal, Pazhamudhir Solai, Vaigai Dam, Kutladampatti Falls, Gandhi Museum - Madurai. For shopping, you can check for local markets around Minakshi Temple.

All these places have defined on the Madurai Tourist site but will update you if I'll find anything other than this.

Name Madurai may mean Madhur (sweetness), so the city is. To taste this everyone must visit there.😉

 Eateries get lots of food options here, whether it is veg or non-veg food. 

1. Murugan Idly kadai - varieties of idlies , dosais and chutneys.
2. Meenakshi Bhavan Restaurant - a chain of restaurants that serves quality veg food.
3. Temple City Restaurant - well known for its dosas and filter coffees.
4. Hotel aarthy - Classic Veg restaurant.
5. Nagalakshmi annexure - Known for its special ghee roast ( Sourashtra cuisine).
6 . Ayyapa dosa kadai - well known for its many varieties of dosas like ( milk halwa dosa).

 Nonvegetarian restaurants. Almost most of the nonvegetarian restaurants serve delicious vegetarian foods also.
1. Chandran mess - delicious lunch-only restaurant, known for its kola urundai (fried mutton meatballs). Coconut oil fried Madura chicken, Chicken and mutton biriyanis and other side dishes ( quite expensive lunch)
2. Amma mess - lunch and dinner most popularly known, located right opposite to chandran mess, almost identical hotels but I prefer chandran mess than amma mess. Known for things like kola urundai , nandu omelet ( crab omelet), mutton liver fry.

And yes you can not forget to eat famous jigarthanda - Ice cream come Faluda.
