Tirupati sightseeing: what travellers ask

Yes - Kanchipuram, Vellore and Mahabalipuram sit naturally on the Chennai routes, and several of our trips do the coast and the temples in one loop. Golden Temple at Vellore and the shore temples add a day each.

From people just like you

During this memorable trip, it wasn't merely a voyage but an enriching adventure shared with dear friends and family. The experience proved to be exceptionally comfortable, justifying every penny spent. Opting for this option was a decision I would have regretted not making, given the unparalleled comfort and joy it brought. A pivotal factor in this delightful journey was our travel guide, Deepika. Her remarkable care and attention to detail ensured that every moment was free of discomfort, making this expedition truly special.

Had an amazing trip with Travloger! Managing such a large group in continuous rain isn’t easy, but Harsha and Santosh did an amazing job as trip captains. The stays were super comfortable, everything was well organized. Highly recommend Travloger for anyone looking for a memorable trip!

It was a great experience with travloger, vinay was our travel guide and he took good care of the team.

Chandu V

Our Keral trip was good, it was a well organised and traveloger team took care of everything so well. However, our trip was during christmas and obviously all the places were crowed and roads were blocked. Also, it was informed to us that the places will be crowed. So, we had no expectations and had good vacation.

Places to visit in Tirupati

These are the places Tirupati trips are built from. Each trip page lists exactly which of them it covers, and a private trip can swap one for another.

  • Sri Venkateswara Temple, Tirumala: The hill temple of Lord Venkateswara (Balaji) on the seven hills above Tirupati, one of the most visited shrines in the world; darshan is by a slot booked through TTD, and queues can run for hours on weekends and festival days.
  • Sri Varahaswamy Temple and Swami Pushkarini: The temple beside the main shrine where tradition has pilgrims pray first, next to the temple tank.
  • Akasha Ganga, Papavinasanam and Japali Theertham: The sacred waters in the Tirumala forest: the Akasha Ganga falls, the bathing ghat at Papavinasanam and the Hanuman shrine by the pond at Japali.
  • Srivari Padalu and Silathoranam: The Lord's footprints at a viewpoint on the hill, and the natural rock arch close to the temple.
  • Sri Padmavathi Temple, Tiruchanur: The temple of Goddess Padmavathi, Lord Venkateswara's consort, a short drive from Tirupati town; most pilgrims visit it on the same trip.
  • Govindaraja Swamy Temple and Kapila Theertham: The big temple in Tirupati town with its tall gopuram, and the Shiva temple and waterfall at the foot of the hills.
  • Srikalahasti: The Shiva temple about 35 km from Tirupati, the air (Vayu) shrine among the five Pancha Bhoota temples, known for the Rahu-Ketu puja.
  • Kanipakam Vinayaka Temple: The Ganesha temple in Chittoor district whose idol is said to have appeared in a well, on the way from Tirupati towards Vellore.
  • Sripuram Golden Temple, Vellore: The Sri Lakshmi Narayani temple sheathed in gold, reached by a star-shaped path through a garden.
  • Kanchipuram: The temple city of the Ekambareswarar, Kamakshi Amman and Varadaraja Perumal temples, and of the silk-weaving lanes.
  • Arunachaleswarar Temple, Tiruvannamalai: The vast Shiva temple at the foot of Arunachala hill, the fire shrine of the Pancha Bhoota temples, on the four and five day plans.
  • Tiruttani Murugan Temple: The hilltop temple of Lord Murugan between Tirupati and Kanchipuram, one of his six abodes.

A 3 day Tirupati trip from Chennai, day by day

Every trip is private, so the plan below is a starting point: the days, the hotels and the pace are set around you.

  • Day 1: a night pick-up in Chennai and the drive to Tirupati by morning; up to Tirumala for Akasha Ganga, Papavinasanam and Japali Theertham, prayers at the Varahaswamy Temple and darshan of Lord Venkateswara on your booked slot, then the night in Tirupati.
  • Day 2: the hilltop Murugan temple at Tiruttani, then Kanchipuram's Ekambareswarar, Kamakshi Amman and Varadaraja Perumal temples, and back to Tirupati for the night.
  • Day 3: the Padmavathi Temple at Tiruchanur, Kapila Theertham, ISKCON and the Govindaraja Swamy Temple, darshan at Srikalahasti, and the drive back to Chennai.

Best time to visit Tirupati and how to reach

Best time

December to February is the most comfortable time, with cool mornings for the hill and the temple circuits. Tirumala is open and busy all year: the queues are longest on weekends, in the April and May school holidays, on Vaikuntha Ekadasi in December or January and during the Brahmotsavam, usually in September or October. March to June is hot, and October and November bring the north-east monsoon rain.

  • December to February, 18 to 30°C: The pleasant months: cool mornings for the hill and the temple circuits. Vaikuntha Ekadasi, in December or January, brings some of the biggest crowds of the year.
  • March to June, 25 to 40°C: Hot in Tirupati and the plains; start early and keep afternoons indoors. The school holidays in April and May make it one of the busiest stretches for darshan.
  • July to September, 24 to 35°C: Warm with passing showers and quieter weekdays; the annual Brahmotsavam usually falls in September or October and draws very large crowds.
  • October and November, 22 to 32°C: The north-east monsoon: heavy rain on some days, green hills, and shorter queues outside the festival days.

What to pack

Traditional clothes for darshan, which TTD asks for (a dhoti or kurta-pyjama for men, a saree or churidar for women; no shorts or sleeveless tops), and light cotton for the rest of the day. Slip-on footwear, because shoes, phones and cameras are left at the deposit counters before the queue; the photo ID you booked darshan with; a cap, sunscreen and water for the hot months, and an umbrella in October and November.

Getting there

Our Tirupati trips start and end in Chennai, so from Hyderabad the simple way in is a flight or an overnight train to Chennai, which is not part of the package. Tirupati itself is about 560 km from Hyderabad, with overnight trains from Secunderabad and Hyderabad and flights into Tirupati airport at Renigunta; if you would rather begin there, ask the planner whether the plan can start in Tirupati.

Tirupati is about 250 km from Bengaluru, five to six hours by road. Our trips start and end in Chennai, about 350 km from Bengaluru by train, bus or a short flight, which is not part of the package; if Tirupati is the easier start for you, ask the planner whether the plan can begin there.

Every Tirupati trip on this page starts and ends in Chennai. Tirupati is about 140 km away, three to four hours by road: most plans pick you up at night so you reach Tirupati by morning and go up to Tirumala early, and the others pick you up on arrival at Chennai airport or station. All of them travel in a private AC sedan or SUV with a driver, with fuel, tolls and parking included. Trains from Chennai Central to Tirupati take about three hours if you would rather travel on your own.

Permits and fees

Darshan at Tirumala is not part of any package: the trip pages say "TTD darshan booked separately". Darshan tickets and the paid special-entry slots are booked on the temple trust's official portal (ttdevasthanams.ap.gov.in) in each pilgrim's name with a photo ID, and the popular dates usually go well in advance, so book your slot before you fix the trip and share the date and time with the planner. Rules, quotas and prices change; confirm them on the TTD site before you book.

Every Tirupati trip we run
