About Chennai & Vellore

Chennai
Chennai, the capital of Tamil Nadu, is India's fourth-largest city and one of its most culturally vibrant metropolises. Known as the 'Gateway to South India', the city stretches along a long sandy coastline on the Bay of Bengal. Chennai seamlessly blends colonial heritage, Dravidian culture, classical music and dance, a thriving film industry (Kollywood), and a robust IT sector. Its cuisine — from idli-dosa breakfast to Chettinad specials — is legendary across the country.

Destination
Vellore
Vellore is a historic city in northern Tamil Nadu, best known for the Christian Medical College & Hospital (CMC) — one of the finest medical institutions in Asia — which draws patients from across South Asia. The city has a long and layered history: it was a stronghold of the Vijayanagara Empire, a centre of British colonial power, and the site of the first military mutiny against the British in 1806, preceding the 1857 revolt by half a century. Vellore Fort is one of the finest examples of military architecture in South India.
