The regions in and around the district of Vellore also serve the famous Ambur Briyani (similar to the Hyderabadi Briyani style) which you can afford to miss at your own risk. The Tamil Nadu Tourism Department, along with the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), has set up a museum, inside the fort, that exhibits the ancient Tamil artefacts and manuscripts which are open to the public at specific times.

The British from the independence era has left a legacy of its own here to future generations. The very sight of the splendid British architecture inspired buildings in different areas of this bustling hill station is a living witnesses to it. While in Ooty, enjoy the famous toy train ride from Mettupalayam, visit the Ooty Botanical Garden and the lake.
