Vellore Tour Packages

Vellore, on the Palar river, is known for its superb moated 16th-century fort with the Jalakanteswarar temple and an old armoury, and for the dazzling Sripuram Golden Temple nearby — a Lakshmi shrine sheathed in gold amid a star-shaped garden. A rewarding heritage break between Chennai and Bengaluru.
