I am going to share my worst experience on any destination I have been, till date. I had been to madurai a week back to attend my cousin sisters engagement cermony. since its my first visit, I had lot of great assumptions of a good experience, but everything turned upside down ! as everyone was tired of travelling and taking some rest at their respective rooms , I thought of going around the city. first I thought of visiting the meenakshi temple and took an auto . the auto driver charged me around 300 rupees just for about 5 kilometres ! when I questiononed him he was very rude and demanded to pay or face the consequences ! I was shocked on how locals treat others ( non madurai residents) . every encounter I had with the locals there turned to be a nightmare . everyone from shopkeepers to autodrivers even women were very rude and unfriendly . after a while I just cut short my travel and headed straight back to my hotel room and even suggested my family members not to go out as its not safe.in an another incident we took a bus to get back to bangalore from madurai as we couldn't get a train tickets booked. we booked seven seats in which two were low berths and remaining were upper berths . all the upper berths were completely sealed no ventilation at all, there wasn't even a fan ! when I complained the same to the driver and his assistant , they were very rude and asked me to adjust as they have converted an ac bus into non ac ! thats horrible ! without ventilation we travelled all the way to bangalore even after paying 600 per seat . so my humble request to people with plans of visiting madurai is, please dont go ! these people don't have basic manners and don't know how to treat people !
