Join me, fellow Local Guides, in celebrating International Wheelchair Day today, March 1st! As we mark this special day, coinciding with the 10-year anniversary of Local Guide Connect, I’m excited to share a curated list of 10 accessible places I’ve recently identified in my hometown, Madurai. These spots promote inclusivity and support for our community.
Here are the accessible places I’ve discovered:

By sharing our knowledge and experiences, we can make a positive impact and empower others to do the same! This is also a celebration of small businesses and the spirit of chai pe charcha.
