Places to Visit in Vellore
Sripuram Golden Temple
The single biggest reason travellers make the trip from Bangalore to Vellore is the Sripuram Golden Temple, officially the Sri Lakshmi Narayani Golden Temple, dedicated to the goddess Mahalakshmi. Spread across roughly one hundred acres at the foot of a small hill range, the temple's main shrine is coated in more than a thousand kilograms of gold leaf, arranged in intricate hand inscribed patterns drawn from Vedic tradition. Visitors walk along a winding, gold plated pathway through the spiritual park before reaching the sanctum, and the entire complex is particularly striking in the soft light of early morning or evening. A modest dress code applies, and mobile phones and cameras are restricted inside certain sections, so it is worth checking current guidelines before you go.

A modest dress code applies, and mobile phones and cameras are restricted inside certain sections, so it is worth checking current guidelines before you go.
Vellore Fort
Built by Vijayanagara rulers Bommu Nayakar and his brother between 1526 and 1595, Vellore Fort sits at the heart of the town and remains one of the best preserved examples of South Indian military architecture. The fort is built entirely of massive granite blocks, surrounded by a broad moat fed by the Suryakanta reservoir, and its walls have witnessed centuries of history, including the First War of Indian Independence in 1806. Inside the fort complex, you will find a temple, a mosque and a church standing close together, along with the State Government Museum, reflecting the many rulers, from the Vijayanagara kings to the Marathas, Carnatic Nawabs and the British, who once held this stronghold.
Jalakandeswarar Temple
Located within the Vellore Fort complex, the Jalakandeswarar Temple is a stunning example of Vijayanagara architecture dedicated to Lord Shiva. Detailed stone carvings throughout the temple depict several Hindu deities including Vishnu, Mahalakshmi, Parvati, Brahma and Saraswati, and the craftsmanship on the pillars is considered some of the finest surviving Vijayanagara stonework in the region. Because it sits inside the fort grounds, it is usually visited together with the fort and museum in a single stop.
Government Museum and Science Park
Housed within the Vellore Fort premises, the Government Museum showcases archaeological artefacts, sculptures, coins and inscriptions recovered from across the district, offering useful context on the many dynasties that ruled this region. The adjoining Science Park is a popular addition for families travelling with children, with basic hands-on science exhibits that make a good short stop after the fort and temple visit.
Amirthi Zoological Park
Set inside a reserve forest around twenty five kilometres from Vellore town, Amirthi Zoological Park combines a small zoo with a scenic waterfall and forest trails, making it a refreshing break from the town's historic sites. The park is home to deer, monkeys and a variety of birds, and the surrounding hills offer pleasant walking trails, particularly appealing to families and nature lovers looking for a quieter half day trip.
Vainu Bappu Observatory
Perched atop the Javadi Hills near Kavalur, about eighty kilometres from Vellore, the Vainu Bappu Observatory houses one of the largest optical telescopes in Asia and is operated by the Indian Institute of Astrophysics. While regular public access is limited and usually requires prior permission, the observatory is a fascinating detour for travellers with a serious interest in astronomy, and the drive up through the Javadi Hills is scenic in its own right.
St. John's Church
Located within the Vellore Fort complex, St. John's Church is a well preserved colonial era church that is over a century and a half old, alongside the Assumption Cathedral elsewhere in the town. These churches, together with the fort's mosque and temple, reflect Vellore's long history as a garrison town where multiple religious communities have coexisted for generations, making a short visit here a good complement to the fort tour.
Yelagiri Hills
For travellers with an extra day to spare, Yelagiri Hills, a small hill station roughly ninety kilometres from Vellore, offers a cooler climate, rose and orchid gardens, a boating lake at Punganur, and gentle trekking trails. It is a popular weekend extension for those who want to combine their Vellore temple and fort visit with a short, relaxed hill getaway before heading back to Bangalore.

Bangalore
Departure Point
Your journey to Ooty begins from Bangalore, the gateway to South India's most beloved hill stations. Pick-up is available from any part of the city — Koramangala, Electronic City, Whitefield, Hebbal, Yeshwanthpur, Marathahalli, or Majestic. The most common route out of Bangalore takes you onto NH275, the six-lane Mysore Expressway, which is one of the smoothest and best-maintained national highways in Karnataka. An early departure between 5 AM and 6 AM is strongly advised to clear Bangalore city limits before peak traffic begins. The first 50 km on the expressway are fast, comfortable, and lightly trafficked in the early hours, setting a pleasant tone for the journey ahead. Our drivers are experienced in choosing the optimal departure window and route based on real-time traffic conditions, ensuring that the first stretch of your Bangalore to Ooty road trip is efficient, calm, and enjoyable from the very first kilometre.
Hosur
Industrial gateway town
Hosur, just across the Karnataka and Tamil Nadu border, is one of the first major towns on this route and is known for its automobile and electronics manufacturing units. The stretch from Bangalore to Hosur is usually the most congested part of the journey due to city outskirts traffic, so most drivers prefer to clear this section early to keep the rest of the drive on schedule.
Shoolagiri
Highway junction town
Shoolagiri is a small but important junction town where the highway splits towards Krishnagiri and further south towards Dharmapuri, making it a useful landmark for tracking your progress on this route. A handful of roadside eateries here make it a convenient quick stop for tea or a snack before continuing on towards Krishnagiri.
Krishnagiri
Mango town and dam views
Krishnagiri is well known across South India for its mango orchards and is often called the mango city of Tamil Nadu, with roadside stalls selling fresh mangoes and juices in season. The Krishnagiri Dam, visible from parts of the highway, adds a scenic backdrop to this stretch, and the town marks a convenient point for a short break roughly midway through the journey.
Vaniyambadi
Leather and tannery town
Vaniyambadi is one of India's key centres for leather tanning and footwear manufacturing, and the town's economy is closely tied to this industry, with numerous tanneries and leather export units visible along the highway. It is also known locally for its distinctive biryani, and travellers often make a short food stop here before the final stretch into Vellore.
Ambur
Ambur - Biryani and Leather Town
Ambur, much like neighbouring Vaniyambadi, is closely associated with leather manufacturing, but it is even more widely known across South India for Ambur biryani, a distinct style of biryani made with short grain seeraga samba rice that has earned a loyal following well beyond Tamil Nadu. Most travellers on this route make it a point to stop here for a proper meal, since the town's biryani stalls and restaurants are considered some of the best on the entire Bangalore to Vellore corridor.
Gudiyatham
Weaving town near the Palar river
Gudiyatham, a smaller town along the banks of the Palar river, is historically known for handloom weaving and continues to host a modest textile trade. The stretch from here into Vellore is short, and the landscape shifts to a more urban character as you approach the town, with increasing traffic near the city limits.
Vellore
Destination - fort, temple and medical hub
The final stretch into Vellore passes the outskirts of the town before reaching the main areas around the fort, the railway station and Christian Medical College. Depending on your itinerary, your driver can drop you directly at Sripuram Golden Temple, the fort, your hotel or the hospital, keeping in mind that traffic near CMC Hospital and the old bus stand can get heavy during peak hours. From here, your visit to the temple, fort and other Vellore attractions can begin.

How to Book a Car for Rent in Bangalore — Step-by-Step
Booking a Car for hire in Bangalore with Tejas Travels takes under 5 minutes. Follow these 4 steps:
STEP1 | Contact Tejas Travels Call or WhatsApp +91 9980277773, or email info@tejastravels.com — available 24 hours, 7 days a week. Share your travel date, Bangalore pickup location (area or landmark — Whitefield, Electronic City, MG Road, Koramangala, KIA airport, hotel name, tech park), destination or full itinerary, number of passengers, and preferred vehicle. For KIA airport pickups, share the flight number — the driver tracks live flight status and adjusts pickup timing for delayed flights automatically. For luxury vehicles (Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Rolls-Royce), also mention the occasion — corporate, wedding, VIP event — so the team can ensure the best-condition vehicle and, where required, formal chauffeur attire. |
STEP2 | Receive Your Written Quote Within 2 hours of your enquiry, Tejas Travels sends a written quote via WhatsApp or email. The quote clearly itemizes every charge: vehicle hire rate (Rs/km or flat package), driver allowance (Rs 400-1,000/day depending on vehicle class), applicable toll estimates, and any interstate permit if applicable (Tamil Nadu for Ooty, Kerala for Wayanad, Andhra Pradesh for Tirupati). No verbal-only prices — everything in writing before you confirm. For corporate clients requiring reimbursements, a Proforma Invoice can be issued at this stage. If you want to compare two vehicle classes, request both quotes at the same time. |
STEP3 | Confirm Your Booking & Pay Advance Once satisfied with the written quote, confirm via WhatsApp or phone. A 15-20% advance payment confirms the booking. Payment: UPI (Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm), NEFT/IMPS/RTGS bank transfer, or credit/debit card via payment link. Advance receipt within 30 minutes. Confirmation includes: driver name and mobile, vehicle registration, departure time, pickup location, and full billing breakdown — all in writing. For luxury vehicles (Rolls-Royce Ghost, BMW 7 Series, Mercedes S-Class), advance may be higher due to limited fleet and Bangalore peak-date demand (wedding season November-February, New Year). |
STEP4 | Your Driver Arrives Early Your assigned Tejas Travels driver arrives at your confirmed Bangalore pickup point 15 minutes before scheduled departure. For KIA airport transfers, the driver coordinates at the Arrivals gate. The vehicle is clean, sanitized, fuelled, and ready. For wedding and VIP bookings, the driver arrives in formal attire. The driver calls 30 minutes before arrival as a courtesy. During the trip, the driver handles all routing, toll payments, and Bangalore traffic navigation. At trip end, balance payment is settled after deducting the advance. Any additional km or hours are billed at the pre-agreed rate. |
Quick Booking for Hire: WhatsApp +91 9980277773 with your vehicle preference, Bangalore pickup location, destination, and travel date. Written quote in 2 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions — Bangalore to Vellore Cab
The distance from Bangalore to Vellore is approximately 215 kilometres via Hosur, Krishnagiri and Vaniyambadi, and the drive takes around 4 to 4.5 hours one way, depending on traffic near Bangalore and Vellore town limits.
One way sedan fares typically start around Rs. 6,280, while round trip and SUV or Innova fares are priced higher based on vehicle type, number of days and kilometres travelled. Exact fares are shared at the time of booking with no hidden charges.
Yes, since the drive is only around four hours one way, a same day round trip is one of the most common bookings on this route, whether for a Sripuram Golden Temple visit, a college drop, or a hospital appointment, and Tejas Travels can arrange a waiting cab for the return journey.
Yes, Tejas Travels offers a dedicated Bangalore to Vellore one way taxi option, so you only pay for the distance travelled in one direction instead of a full round trip fare.
The temple and fort can be visited throughout the year, though early morning and late afternoon slots are cooler and less crowded. Winter months from November to February are generally considered the most comfortable time for sightseeing around Vellore.
Yes, Tejas Travels regularly arranges cabs for patients and families travelling to Christian Medical College and for parents and students travelling to and from VIT Vellore, with flexible waiting time and drivers familiar with the hospital and campus areas.
For outstation packages, toll charges, state permit and driver allowance are usually charged separately unless mentioned as included in your quote, and since this route crosses into Tamil Nadu, a state permit charge is applicable. This is clearly broken down before you confirm your Bangalore to Vellore cab booking.
You can choose from sedans, SUVs like the Innova Crysta and Innova Hycross, tempo travellers for group travel, and the Force Urbania for a more premium ride, depending on your group size and comfort preference.
Yes, since Vellore sits roughly midway between Bangalore and Chennai, and is also a feasible detour on the way to Tirupati, many travellers combine these destinations into a single multi-day itinerary, which Tejas Travels can plan and quote accordingly.
A small advance of around 15 percent of the total fare is typically collected at the time of booking to secure the vehicle and driver allocation, with the remaining balance payable at
the end of the trip either in cash directly to the driver or online via a payment link.
