HIGHWAY & DARSHAN GUIDE
Why Choose a Tirupati to Vellore Golden Temple Self Drive Car?
Located at Thirumalaikodi near Vellore in Tamil Nadu, this 100-acre spiritual park is one of South India's most visited landmarks. Because the journey crosses the Andhra Pradesh–Tamil Nadu border near Chittoor and Katpadi, commercial yellow-plate taxis charge hefty interstate permit taxes and driver bata.
When you reserve a Tirupati to Sripuram Golden Temple car rental from our fleet, you travel seamlessly across state lines in a clean, privately registered vehicle. You can also stop at Kanipakam and the historic 16th-century Vellore Fort along the exact same highway corridor.

Inter-State Travel Guide: Andhra to Tamil Nadu Route & Sripuram Logistics
The Sri Lakshmi Narayani Golden Temple in Sripuram is crafted with over 1,500 kg of pure gold foil, situated amidst lush spiritual gardens arranged in a sacred Sri Chakra star-shaped pathway. The route from Tirupati follows NH140 to Chittoor and then transitions seamlessly onto the 4-lane NH40 highway towards Katpadi and Vellore.
Because our fleet consists of privately registered (white-plate) vehicles, tourists can cross the Andhra Pradesh – Tamil Nadu state border freely without paying commercial state entry road taxes or enduring commercial permit inspection queues at the border RTA checkpoints.
The temple complex enforces strict dress codes (traditional attire; no shorts, sleeveless tops, or western nightwear) and prohibits electronic items (mobile phones, cameras, smartwatches). Secure cloakrooms and extensive shaded car parking facilities are available at the main visitor welcome campus. After darshan, you can also explore the historic 16th-century Vellore Fort and Jalakandeswarar Temple situated 8 km away.
