Thanks for the leads, Abhi, Sentil.
Regarding the breakfast joints - I was intending more like Kamat Lok Upachar types, rather than continental food

Well if you want a buffet breakfast you can stop at Rennaissance Inn just after Hosur. Its a big hotel that comes on the left side. They serve breakfast by the pool. Its 125/- per person. You get Indian & continental breakfast. Don't forget to ask for omelette and hot dosas. :0)
However breakfast here is ready only around 7.30 ish.
Or you can try the Reliance A1 Plaza a few kilometres further on on the left side. Good food, neat toilets.. well maintained. In fact there's another Reliance A1 on the right side a bit further down. If you are coming back and want a stopover you can go there. Its a few kilometres after the Sulagiri bypass (probably 10kms before Hosur).
I've not been to Thirukoyyilur so won't comment on it.
The Golden Temple is 8kms from Vellore, so its like almost coming to Vellore from Tiruvannamalai. Take the Vellore road from Tiruvannamalai and you can see the entrance to the Narayani Temple a few kilometres before Vellore town.
I've been there and according to me its a giant ego trip of one man. Huge landscaped gardens, artificial waterfalls, an artificial pond in the middle of which stands the golden temple. There's a star shaped walkway around the temple which must be more than a kilometre long and you have to walk along this to get to the temple. I can keep going on. Its more of a gawk and gape show then a temple. That enough of a rant for now. |
