The 10 Best Sights & Landmarks in Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh
The holy city of Tirupati draws tourists and religious pilgrims alike, who flock to the Ancient Lord Venkateswara Temple, known for its elaborate Dravidian style and gold-plated cupola. Prayers are offered daily at this popular temple, which sits high in the Tirumala hills. Several other temples dot the town, and the lush countryside contains numerous waterfalls.

After a year of covid pandemic, My family decided to step out to get the blessings from Lord Perumal. Myself ,my husband and 10 year old daughter. We have booked Rd 300 ticket a month before through TTD website. 29th march we reached down Tirupathi and stayed in a hotel. Evening 4.30 pm we visited Alamelu mangapura and parking is on the road itself near the temple. Crowd was less comparatively. we had a good darshan and returned to hotel by 5.30 pm. Next day 30th March we started and parked our car in Alipiri (Free parking). First thing to keep in mind that the total journey takes 5 to 6 hours. We started our first time walk journey to visit Perumal @ 8 am. Steps are steep till 2150 steps. we completed the 2000+ steps by 10.45am. we have taken rest every 50 steps. Ample of refreshments available. Only water was not available til half of the stretch and then they sell water in bottles. (Rs 50). Due to humid and hot we have exhausted all water and started taking some energy drink as well. after 2150 steps it was comparatively easy since it was like walking path and little steps. during one stretch work was going on hence we have been asked to go in trekking path. Later at one stage we have to walk in a road where vehicles are also coming. After crossing this we will reach steep step again. Last 1700 steps are like walk /steps and it is really steep at places. In between we took too many rests since my husband had a cramp in leg. Finally we reached Tirumala @ 2pm. We have taken a jeep ,who took Rs 200 for dropping to Rs 300 entry. We went inside the entrance and submitted the ticket, Aadhar card and luggage, phone. Crowd was very less in 300 entry and total time was less than 20 minutes to get Lord perumal's darshan. 2.40 pm we came out. Collected laddu and it was crowded. Tool almost 20 minutes. later we have taken a jeep (Rs 800) and reached Alipiri Parking.

For the believers the place is divine.. the long wait in the ques for a few seconds of darshan is well worth it.. the arrangements are very good with facilities provided at every crucial place.. try and take a Rs 300 darshan ticket for a faster experience..

This temple is located on the left side of the pushkarani near the tirupati temple.. This temple is a must visit place for pilgrims who visit Tirumala. It is said that Lord varahaswamy owns the Tirumala, and he gave place to Lord venkateshwara. Hence, Lord venkateshwara told that each and every devotees who come to have darshan of HIM should first have the darshan of Lord varahaswamy.. only then the purpose of visit to Tirumala will be completed.. Hence, those who visit Tirumala,kindly have darshan of Lord varahaswamy and get HIS blessings..

This is a very powerful and ancient temple for Sri Anjaneya Swami , it is located in such a way that the murthi of Sri Anjaneya faces the Lord Sri Venkateswara Swami . This temple is in exact opposite direction of maha dwaram or main entrance . This is not the big Anjaneya that you see while coming down . That cement structure is a recent addition . This temple was established centuries before .

Tirupathi is the town at the ground level while Tirumala, the temple town is on TOP of the seven hills. Hindus worship this God after standing several hours in queue because everyday over 100,000 people come to have dharshan of this Lord Balaji also known as Lord Venkateshwara. The temple authorities have mastered the art of crowd management and provide enough food, water and shelter before during and after dharshan. The temple authority runs a transport system for passengers to go up the hill and return to base Tirupathi.

Located in Tiruchanoor, about 5km away from Tirupati, it is abode of Goddess Sri Padmavathi Devi, the beloved consort of Lord Venkateswara. It is believed that one should seek her divine blessings before going to Lord Venkateswara temple in Tirumala. According to temple legend Goddess Mahalakshmi emerged on the golden lotus as Padmavathi Devi located at the centre of Padmasarovaram-the temple tank. No mobile phone or camera is allowed inside. You can deposit them at the counter near the entrance. If you are in a hurry you should buy Rs100 ticket for a quick darshan. The ticket also affords a closer look at the deity than the general darshan line.
