It had a humble beginning and now it is known for it sprawling campuses and hostel facilities.

How to reach the Golden temple in Vellore?
Golden temple is one of the newest attractions of Vellore. Almost immediately after it is opened, visitors to Vellore have increased by the thousands making the maneuvering difficult with in the city. But there is an easier way to reach the Golden temple by completely bypassing the city’s traffic.
Do not try to drive through the city’s traffic. Reach the temple by the access road from the Chennai-Bangalore highway (Highway number 46). If you’re coming from Chennai, you must go past Vellore for about 10 KM and then the exit (to SRIPURAM) comes on the left hand side. If you exit before or at the city of Vellore, then you have exited too early.
If you’re coming from Bangalore, it comes after the Pallikonda tollgate but before reaching Vellore. The road to the temple is on the right hand side. If you reach Vellore, then you have gone past the exit.
If you’re coming from Andhra Pradesh by road, when you reach Hotel River View, you must get on to the Chennai-Bangalore higway and from there follow the directions on paragraph two above.

How to travel safely by Taxis in India?
In any city/ town in India, there are private taxis for convenient travelling but most of them are not organized (like a company running them) and individually owned. This sometimes can become a safety hazard and there are ways to ensure safety.
Unless and until it is absolutely necessary and you know the surroundings, avoid using private taxis in the nights.
Never travel by a taxi in inebriated state.
Ensure that the driver understand your instructions well. Many people can understand (if not speak) English and make sure that your driver knows exactly where you want to go.
Do your homework beforehand. Find out from others (like family and friends) how much is the expected fare between the desired destinations. If there’s a prepaid taxi service available, use it liberally.
Ensure that taxi has enough gas. Sometimes taxi drivers can ask you for money in advance to fill gas and you must politely refuse and pay only at the end of your journey.
Ensure to have your mobile phone working in India (global access). Write down the taxi license plate number and the driver’s name and call to pass them to your friend in advance. This alerts the taxi driver that he is been monitored.
Do not be overly friendly with the taxi driver. Do not give too much information about your visit to India than he should know (like itinerary). Never accept anything to eat or drink including cigarettes and chewing gums.
In case of conflict, always appear calm and composed.
If a hotel has a transportation service, use it liberally even if you have to pay for it.

How to travel economically to Vellore from Chennai airport
Nearest international airport near to Vellore is Chennai Airport. When you reach Chennai, you have two ways to reach Vellore – by road or by train (you must disembark at Katpadi railway station). If you hire a taxi to come by road, they can charge you upwards of 1500 rupees so we’ll not talk about it in this write up.
If you come by train, it works out lot cheaper but unfortunately the Chennai central rail station is not near by. I will tell you two ways to take a train and then I’ll explain how you can travel from there to Katpadi.
Once you come out of the airport, walk (or you can take a taxi) up to the local rail station (TIRUSULAM) that is right in front of the airport. From there you travel to Chennai Beach local station (might cost less than 10 rupees) and catch Chennai Beach – Vellore Cantonment train (Train Number 185). Train 185 leaves Chennai Beach station at about 6:00 PM and reaches Katpadi at 9:00 PM. Disadvantage is that there’s only one train at 6:00 PM from this station in a day and also it has no AC coaches if you like to travel by one.
Second option is to catch a train at the Chennai central. For this you take a pre-paid taxi (for Rs. 350/-) to Chennai central and buy a superfast train ticket (Rs. 50/-) and then board any train that is heading towards South India (Bangalore, Trivandrum, and Coimbatore etc). There will be plenty of trains at any given time. Superfast trains will have AC coaches but since you may not have reservation, you should check with conductor about boarding it before hand and then pay him while travelling. It will cost you about Rs. 200/-
