        It is simple process to Reach Tirupati then Tirumala and Then Darshan. You don’t need to rely on Travels.
        You can plan yourself, as it is only one day trip, No need to pay any additional amount to Travels.

        Please follow these steps
        1) Book Rs.300 ticket online at ttdsevaonline.com , check the convenient date and Time. It would be good to book ticket after noon hours.
        2) Reach Tirupati by Bus .
        3) T.T.D runs free buses from Tirupati Bus station and Railways station and Srinivasam Complex at a frequency of 30 mins. It will drop you exactly at the entry point.
        SriVari Mettu is open from 6 A.M to 6 P.M . If you start trekking by 6 A.M , it will take 2:30 hours – 3 hours max to reach Tirumala.
        Which means you will reach Tirumala by 9 A.M. Take a holy dip in Swamy Pushkarini and do dress change at the Ladies available at Pushkarini.
        4) Go for Sri Varaha Swamy Darshan.
        5) Deposit your luggage at T.T.D Locker facility which is opposite to Vaikuntam Queue complex.
        6) Go for Darshan
        7) Collect your belongings after Laddu collection
        8) Direct buses are available from Tirumala to Bangalore if not reach Tirupati and Board Bengaluru.

        Please let me know if further details required.

    We are planning to get recommendation letter from our M.P. for getting accommodation either at Tirumala or Tirupati (preferably at Sreenivasan complex if it is available easily then only) during our visit on 12-14 April 2015. We have booked our tickets (Rs. 300) for darshan. Please inform us about the concerned authority to whom the letter should be addressed and the procedure to book the rooms by showing it, if it should be faxed immediately then please give us fax numbers of the concerned authorities office. Please also inform me whether we have to mention our contact details including mobile number and mail ID in the letter. We are bringing our ID proofs with us. Please guide us in using the recommendation letter for getting accommodation.

    • Dear Manish,

      Recommendation letter should address to
      Joint Executive Officer (J.E.O),
      J.E.O Camp Office,
      Tirumala.

      After reaching Tirumala you need to get it sealed from J.E.O Camp office. Where Superintendent will sign and apply Seal on the Recommendation Letter.

      Once it is sealed, it is your wish to get room at MBC 24 or Padmavathi Guest House.

      Please note that you need to have patience at J.E.O Camp Office as you will not quick reply from them.

      Thanks,

      • Dear Kamal ji,

  4. Dear Kamal sir,

    5) What is procedure & documents required at CRO for booking rooms ?
    6) What if i donot get rooms on 3may2015 ? Is there any alternative for families who donot get rooms ?

    Thanks,

    • Dear Rajesh,

      1) How can I get rooms when i reach Tirumala ?- Getting Rooms is tough in Tirumala as it is long weekend. I would suggest to Look for Room in Tirupati. Vishnu Nivasam, Srinivasam Complex and Madhavam Guest House and Sri Venkateswara Guest House. I will check and let you know the Rooms availability status tomorrow morning.
      2) Should i goto CRO office first ? Yes, C.R.O Office Tirumala is the first point of Contact for Rooms and It will crowded, I know it will be tough. as you are looking for accommodation in Tirumala, Rooms here are allotted on First-Cum-First Serve basis and In queue system.
      3) where is CRO office located ? after i reach the top of Alipiri mettu, how far is CRO office ? – After Reaching Tirumala Hills, you will cross C.R.O which is near to Tirumala Bus station. I will mail you the route map to C.R.O Tirumala.
      If it is far away, Are taxis available ? – Taxi is not required to C.R.O Tirumala, It is on the way to Tirumala main temple.
      4) If i want to stay in Padmavathy guest house area, can i go directly there ? or should i go and register
      at CRO first ? – Usually Padmvathi Guest House is allotted to pilgrims with Recommendation Letters, So you don’t need to go to Padmavathi Guest House. C.R.O Tirumala is the first point for any accommodation.
      5) What is procedure & documents required at CRO for booking rooms ?- Original ID proof is required. No need for any other documents.
      6) What if i donot get rooms on 3may2015 ? Is there any alternative for families who donot get rooms ?- I will try to find if something is available in Tirumala in such a case.

  6. Dear Kamal Sir,

    I am planning my Tirumala visit from 2nd Aug to 4th Aug. We would reach 2nd Aug in the evening. How do I ensure I get rooms allotted for all the 3 days in Tirumala? I am carrying my 2 years daugher along. So need to be 100% sure that I have one room for sure.

    Should I approach any of the Mutths thereby?

    Also, I am planning to have the Darshan on Sunday 3rd Aug at the first bet possible slot. Anything else you can suggest I need to take care of?

    • Dear Kunal,

      As you are planning much early, it is really easy to get accommodation either in Tirumala or Tirupati. Three days may not be possible in such a case you can do booking online with two Ids one with your name and other id from your family person. Online booking should be done at http://ttdsevaonline.com. Where you can look for accommodation availability.
      T.T.D will release rooms for online booking on june 2 for 2nd Aug, which means 60 days before the actual date.

      Even you can get Darshan tickets online at the mentioned website.
      Accommodation at Mutts is meant only for the specified communities, not sure if you are eligible.

      Please let me know if further details required.

      Thanks,

    • Dear Kamal Sir,

      Can you help me know nearby temples I should visit during my Tirumala visit. I have 3rd second half & 4th entire day to play. I would be traveling back on 4th night.

      4th second half – I plan possibly for ISKCON temple, Padmavati & Govind Raja Swamy temple.

      Anything else you suggest I must visit if time permits.

      • Dear Kamal Sir,

        Can you help me know nearby temples I should visit during my Tirumala visit. I have 3rd Aug second half & 4th Aug entire day to plan. I would be traveling back on 4th night.

        4th Aug second half – I plan possibly for ISKCON temple, Padmavati & Govind Raja Swamy temple.

        Anything else you suggest I must visit if time permits.

        • Dear Kamal Sir,

          The rooms for 1st Aug have been booked & I was unable to find a room for that date.

          Any other option you may suggest?

          Regards,

          Kunal.

          • Dear Kunal,

            As it is Saturday, Rooms are pre booked. Only 50% of Rooms are released for online booking. As it is Saturday, getting Room will be bit tough in Tirumala.

            It is good idea to look for accommodation in Tirupati at Srinivasam Complex or Vishnu Nivasam, where rooms are allotted to Pilgrims on Arrival.If you still can’t get accommodation, then look for private accommodation in Tirupati. As many Private Star Hotels are available near Bus Station.

            Please let me know if further information required.

            Thanks,

      • Dear Kunal,

        Please plan this way if you have time

        1) Before climbing Hills , please visit Kapila Theertham which is on the way to Tirumala and it is 2 Km from Bus station.
        2) One should visit Kapila Theertham before Balaji Darshan, and sprinkle water from the Temple Tank (Pushkarini), Then go for Lord Shiva Darshan inside the Temple
        3) Before Balaji Darshan in Tirumala, Take a bath in Swamy Pushkarini and then visit Aadhi Varaha Swamy Temple which is at the entrance of Pushkarini
        4) After Darshan, You can plan for Akash Ganga Theertham (Water from this falls is used for Lord Balaji’s Daily Activities)
        5) Plan to visit Papa Vinasanam, Chakra Theertham, Sila Thoranam, SriVari Paadhaalu(Lord’s Holy Feet)
        6) It is one route to Akash Ganga, Papa Vinasanam, Sri Venugopala Swamy Temple.

        • Thanks a lot Kamal Sir… I will get in touch with you in few days as my travel days come closer.

          • Dear Kunal,

            Sure, Please leave your comment whenever required.

            Thanks,

          • Hello Kamal Sir,

            Will doing a advance booking of Special Entry Darshan (Rs.300/-) reduce the queue time? How does the advance booking of Special Darshan help?

            I will taking the darshan on a Sunday 2nd Aug. So, not sure of the kind of rush I can expect on a Sunday.

            Can you please help?

            Regards,

            Kunal.

          • Dear Kunal,

            Special Entry Darshan (Rs. 300 ) ticket is kind of organized Darshan. Devotees should report at TB Cottage 74 entrance only on the specified time. So that you can plan the left over time to visit other places in Tirumala.

            Usually crowd will be high on weekends so it is advisable to go for pre-booking tickets. But it will not affect your Darshan Timings.

            Please let me know if further details required.

            Thanks,

          • Dear Kamal Sir,

            Is there any pre-format set for getting the recommendation letter from MP? Does the recommendation letter guarantee me a room for 2-3 days?

            I tried calling Shri Hattiram Swamy Mutt to book rooms.But no one actually picked it.

            Is there any other way to ensure rooms are booked?

            Regards,

            Kunal.

  7. Hi Kamal,

    I will reach Chennai airport at 7am on 2nd August(Sunday) and have a returning flight on 3 Aug 5 pm from Chennai.
    As this is my first visit to tirupati i am not aware of the transport modes from chennai to tirumala.
    As i am travelling alone booking a car will be an expensive option.Could you please let me know if there are any buses from chennai to tirumala or cabs at per seat basis.
    Also as per my schedule which time slot should i choose for special entry darshan.
    Usually everyone takes 300 entry ticket so it ought to be crowded.Is there any other option other than free entry and special entry(Rs 300) which will suit my time frame.

    Thanks in advance.

    • Dear Kunal,

      Yes, Chennai To Tirupati is quite expensive, after reaching Chennai take a cab to Koyambedu Bus Station (CMBT). From there Buses are quite frequent to Tirupati. I don’t remember platform but it should be somewhere 27 or 29. Every half an hour bus departs from chennai to Tirupati. Chennai to Tirupati journey time is 4 hours 30 mins – 5 hours (max) .
      Which means after getting down at chennai airport at 7 am it will take 30 mins for you to look for taxi so it will be 7:30 – 7:45 am
      and from Airport – CMBT it takes 30-45 mins (max) as it is early hours and sunday.
      So you will reach Bus station at 8:30 am . Let say you took 30 mins to find Bus for Tirupati. i.e. 8:30am + 30 mins = 9 a.m.
      Let say if bus Start with 45 mins gap, i.e 9:45 am + 5 hours = 2:45 pm you will be in Tirupati.
      From Tirupati Bus station – Tirumala 45 mins which means 3:30 pm or 4 pm you will be in Tirumala .

      So it is good to go for 4 pm – 5 pm slot for Rs.300 (special entry darshan tickets) , if not look for Rs.50 (Sudarsanam) for which time slot is 5 pm – 6 p.m. So you can finish Darshan on the same day.

      If you want to take rest on Sunday then look for Monday morning Darshan but look for stay in Tirupati on Sunday so that you can take Darshan with cool mind.

      Please let me know your options.
      Thanks,

      • Thanks for the reply Kamal.
        I have one more query. The darshan slot for 4 pm to 5pm is open only untill 10th june where as rest of the slots are available till 29th July.As i want to book 4 -5pm slot could you please confirm when will this slot be available for 2nd Aug 2015.

        • Dear Kunal,

          It will be released within this week for booking. Please let me know if more details required.

          • Hi Kamal,

            I have booked “AC ROOM WITH 2 BEDS and ATTACHED TOILET” for 2nd aug. After i booked, on the reciept a clause is mentioned that “No Accomodation will br given to single(one) person”.
            I will be travelling alone to tirupati. will this clause be a problem? will i be denied accomodation?

In the mean time, please visit SriVari Pushkarini and take bath (if possible) , if not at least sprinkle water on your head. Then go to Aadhi Varaha Swamy Temple which is the entrance. After these two things you are good to join Darshan Line. Dress changing rooms available next to Pushkarini.
      3. If we reach by 11 is there any place to wait till day break to do our darshan. – I don’t think you will have time to stay in Tirumala, if the above mentioned is followed.

      Please let me know if further information required.

      Thanks,

  10. Namaskar!
    I am planning to come to Tirumala for Shree Venkateshwar Darshan. We are a family of three (Me, my wife & daughter). We will arrive there by 4pm on Monday 22-June & head back to Pune on 23rd evening or 24th Afternoon.
    My question is; are Suprabhatam/Archana/Thomal Seva allowed during this time? If yes, what is the procedure for booking tickets after arriving there? (All online quota is full.)
    Also please advise if any other specific instruction or care needs to be taken. I am a little confused as I read in some places about some restrictions in the month of June (Jyeshta maasa).

    Thanks for all the detailed information; it is truly helpful.

    Best Regards,
    Amol

    • Dear Amol Deshpande,

      Yes, it is allowed. These Arjitha Sevas are daily sevas which will be held irrespective of the month.

      After reaching Tirumala, please go to Vijaya Bank Counter which is at C.R.O General Office complex. And provide your finger prints and Id proof.

      If your name is picked up in lucky draw, then you message will be delivered to the registered mobile number.

      As it is weekday, chance of getting tickets thru Lucky Dip booking is high.

      There are other sevas like Kalyanotsavam, Arjitha Vasanthotsavam, Arjitha Brahmotsavam, Sahasra deepalankarana seva and Unjal Seva, where there is no lucky dip system. Process of getting tickets remains the same.

      http://gotirupati.com/tirumala-arjitha-seva-tickets-lucky-dip-booking/

      Please be there at C.R.O office Tirumala as early as possible, atleast by 7 am so that tickets can be availed easily for next day seva.

      Seva dress code should be followed http://gotirupati.com/tirumala-seva-dress-code/ while participating in Seva. Rest all simple process.

      Please let me know if further information required.

      Thanks,

  11. Dear Mr Kamal,

    Firstly I would like to appreciate your efforts to provide information to piligrims in such a genuine way.

    I have two queries.
    1. I am comiing to visit tirumal on 4th July. Will I abe able to get good accomodation. Nothing is available in online site for that day.
    2. I would also like to visit all 7 tirtha’s mentioned. I understand that some of them are allowed on only perticular days in the year. Can you please give the details of other tirthas and also dates for specific ones.

    Dayakar

    • Dear Sir,

      Please find reply below
      1. I am comiing to visit tirumal on 4th July. Will I abe able to get good accomodation. Nothing is available in online site for that day. – 4thu july is sunday, it will take more time to get accommodation. As crowd usually be high on weekends. If it is one day trip, then accommodation is not required.

      Free dormitory rooms with locker facility are available in Tirumala at Pilgrims Amenities Center beside C.R.O Office.
      2. I would also like to visit all 7 tirtha’s mentioned. I understand that some of them are allowed on only perticular days in the year. Can you please give the details of other tirthas and also dates for specific ones.

      Swamy Pushkarini is easily approachable, Akash Ganga Theertham, Chakra Theertham, Papavinasanam is quite easy to reach. Pandava Theertham is also accessible. Whereas Thumburu Theertham, Kumaradhara Theertham, Ramakrishna Theertham should be a planned activity.

      I will mark your mail id and let you know in advance about these Theerthas. Will also let you now if there is any other theerthas planned, if you are interested then you can join.

      Please let me know if further information required.

      Thanks,

      • Thanks Kamal. Everything is OK. One correction is 4th July is Saturday. Let me see if I can manage for a day.

  12. Hi Kamal,

    We are planning to walk through Sri Vari Mettu. Head hair removal is planned Is that free and where can this be done? Or should I have to wait in a queue. Can we get an accommodation to stay there for a day as we have children travelling along with us.

    • Dear Drruvaraj,

      Yes, Hair offering is free of cost which will be performed at KalyanaKatta. If it is on Saturday or Sunday, then it will take 45 mins max. Don’t worry KalaynaKatta is quite big, it won’t take much time for the whole process. Bathing rooms are available there itself.

      For accommodation, if it is weekday i.e Tue-Wed-Thu, it is quite easy to get accommodation in Tirumala. All you need to do is after reaching Tirumala, please go to C.R.O Office Tirumala , where Room allotment will be done on First-Cum-First Serve basis.

      If you are planning for one day trip to Tirumala, then you can manage without accommodation. As TTD provides Free dormitory rooms with locker facility for pilgrims to get fresh up. You can safe guard you luggage here.

      Please let me know the exact date, as it is not mentioned in your comment.

      Thanks,

  13. Dear sir,

    We reached Tirumala on 13th Au 6PM.
    We don’t have accommodation facility.
    But we have MP recurrence letter.
    Will i get room on 13th evening using this Letter.

    Thank you sir,

    Kiran

    • Dear Kiran,

      I’m quite positive that you can Room without recommendation letter as it is weekday so crowd will be minimal.

      After reaching Tirumala, please go to C.R.O General Office for room allotment.

      Well before Tirumala, I would suggest to look for accommodation in Tirupati if you are OK, It is easy to get accommodation at Srinivasam Complex, Madhavam Guest House which is opp to Tirupati Bus station. Even Vishnu Nivasam which is near Railway Station will also allot rooms to Pilgrims on Arrival.

      Please let me know if further information required.

      Thanks,

  14. Dear Mr.Kamal,

    I would be arriving to tirupati at 5 am on 28th June with a family of 5 including children and returning on 30th June

    I was not able to book accommodation online as it was not available. As it is Sunday, i am not sure how the accommodation availability be and if i will be able to get that. I would be needing it for 2 days. Can you suggest i should try at Srinivasam complex or should i book a private hotel online. I wanted to stay in tirupati and not tirumala as it is easy to commute to sri kalahasti etc from there.

    Appreciate any advise on this.

    • Dear Venu Madhavan,

      It is good to look for private accommodation, current darshan time is 7 hours for Divya Darshan ticket holders and no rooms available for General.

      Yes, from Tirupati to Kalahasthi there plenty of buses. please let me know if further information required.

      Thanks,

  15. Hi kamal,
    I am planning to visit tirumala on 3rd July. We would be starting from alipiri at 6am on Friday. We were unable to book for cottages. Will there be lot of difficult in finding accomodation?

    • Dear Nikitha,

      After reaching Tirupati, could try for accommodation at Srinivasam complex which is opposite Bus station. If it one day trip to Tirumala, accommodation is not required.

      If you are interested in Tirumala accommodation , then after reaching Tirumala, please visit C.R.O General Office (Opp Tirumala Bus station).
      I will know the exact status on Thursday. It will take 3 hours waiting time to get accommodation if crowd is normal.

      Please let me know if further clarification required.

      Thanks,

  16. Hi, I am planning to visit tirupati on Aug 26, 2015 and back by Aug 29, 2015. When looking for online accommodation before 56 days at night 12:30 itself, it says rooms not available in Tirumala, also sevas. But there are many rooms available at tirupati, is there any functions at temple during these days? Is for this reason, they are restricting online accommodations? I am also planning to do Kalyanotsava seva. As E-seva also not available, Can i get ticket from there for the same? Due to this i have booked room at tirupati. Can we extend the same for one more day, or is it not possible? Kindly advise.

    • Dear Sumesh Naick,

      One room each – Rs.200 Rs. 600 , Rs.800 and Rs.1000 is available for occupancy in Tirupati. No festivals for the month of August in Tirumala.

      26th Aug is mid of week, even if you can’t get Kalyanotsavam Ticket online it is possible thru Current Booking which means tickets will be issued to pilgrim on arrival at Vijaya Bank Counter , C.R.O Office Tirumala.

      Yes, it is room can be extended for one more day. All you need to do it tell them that we are here for Kalyanotsavam and Room will be extended.

      Please let me know if further clarification required.

      Thanks,

      • Dear Kamal,

        thanks for the reply and proper guidelines. Actually our plan was to stay at tirupati on Aug 26th and 27th & 28th at Tirumala. I got accomodation at tirupati but not in tirumala. Also heard that August last week some vishesha poojas are going on at tirumala, so they are not giving accomodation/seva through online after August 25th.

        • Dear Sumesh Naick,

          Even during Brahmotsavam, Rooms should be allotted. Let me check if there is any other festivals falls on these days.

          Thanks,

  17. Sir,
    Can i get room on Friday 21 Aug 2015 after 4.00 pm in tirumala and sumo/tavera charges for 7/8 people Tirupati to Tirumala, tirupati to Sri kalahasi, Ttrichnoor and return
    -Vilas

    • Dear Vilas,

      I don’t have any association with Travels, but I can get you the contacts.

      Could you check for accommodation online at ttdsevaonilne.com , if you can’t get for 21st Aug then let me know so that I can suggest alternate way?

      Thanks,

      • I had already tried on ttdsevaonline.com but rooms in tirumala and tirupati not available on 21 Aug
        for travel kindly send some current prapaid taxi rate in tirupati

  18. kannan rajagopalan

    Sir,
    We are planning for padayatra at tirumala and lord darshan.
    Our proposed plan is as follows.

    On 16th July travel from Chennai by car and reach Alipiri gate by 2.00 pm
    After completing the TTD formalities start the climb
    Expect to reach the top at 6.00pm.
    Since this would be too taxing for us, we would like rest in a cottage and have darshan the next day morning i.e. 17th.
    However i am unable to make any booking online; all cottages are shown full.
    Are there any private lodges at tirumala.
    Kindly advise us.

    • Dear Sir,

      There is no private accommodation in Tirumala, as it is friday getting rooms will also be tough in Tirumala.

      Please plan this way, if you are fine with this

      1) Please look for e-special entry darshan tickets (Rs.300 ) online at ttdsevaonline.com so that you can have pre-booked Darshan slot, choose 11 am.
      2)After reaching Tirupati, please try for accommodation at Srinivasam Complex where rooms are allotted to Pilgrims On Arrival. At Srinivasam Counter, Rooms allotment will be done for both Srinviasam and Madhavam Guest House. If you don’t get accommodation, then try for Vishnu Nivasam which is near Railway Station. If none of the above applies then you can look for private accommodation.
      3) Visit Govindaraja Swamy Temple
      4) Start to Tirumala at Early Hours 4:30 am , while on the way to Tirumala please Visit Kapila Theertham and take bath if possible or sprinkle water on your head.
      5) Park your car at Balaji Link Bus station (It’s come the left side of Kapila theertham to Alipiri Path)
      6) As it is early by 6 am you will reach Gali Gopuram and don’t forgot to get Divya Darshan Tokens. As it is friday , Darshan waiting will be 5-6 hours max, which means by 5 pm you can have Darshan.
      7) After reaching Tirumala , please go for Darshan on Rs.300 ticket at 11 am and it takes 1 hour waiting time, which means 12 pm you are allowed for Darshan and from there it will take 2 hours 15 mins (max) and by 2:15 pm – 2:30 pm you can complete Darshan.

      8) If interested, you can use Divya Darshan Token as well for second time darshan.

      Please let me know if further information required.

      Thanks,

  19. Dear Sir,
    on coming 21.07.2015, we are reaching tirupathi by sapthagiri exp from chennai, we’ve booked 300 ticket on 21.07.2015 at 3 pm , but we donot have room and for the same we got MP letter. will it help me or i have get help from the lord venky only. pls give sugesstion

    • Dear Seenivasan,

      Chance of getting accommodation is high in Tirupati rather than Tirumala. After reaching Tirupati, please go to Srinivasam complex which is located opposite to Bus station. Where rooms will be allotted for both Srinivasam and Madhavam Guest House. Even at Vishnu Nivasam, Rooms are allotted to Pilgrims on Arrival which is walk able from Railway Station.

      Currently they are accepting Recommendation letters from A.P ministers and MP for room allotment.

      Please let me know if further clarification required.

      Thanks,
      [one_sixth_last]

  20. Hi,

    I have planned to go to Tirupati on 10th July 2015 (Friday). I didn’t booked any room in Tirumala as there is no slot available in online. Can I get rooms on the same day in Tirumala on Friday?
    Will it be rush on CRO to book the rooms on Friday?
    If so, at what time I should go to CRO to book the rooms quickly?

    Please help me with the above queries. Thanks in advance.

    • Dear Bhuvana,

      Instead of looking for accommodation in Tirumala, please try for accommodation in Tirupati at Srinivasam Complex (Opp Tirupati Bus station) where rooms will be allotted for both Srinviasam complex and Madhavam Guest House. If not then give a try at Vishnu Nivasam which is near Railway Station.

      Getting rooms in Tirumala will definitely take time. If it is mid of the week, I would have suggested for Tirumala.

      Please let me know if further information required.

      Thanks,

      • Thanks kamal.

        How much time the queue will take to book rooms @CRO for Rs.300 darshan if i go by 8am on Friday? Darshan time is 11 to 12 pm.

  21. We are planning to reach tirupati by 6:30 am on 24 july from hyd. We want to climb the hill also i want to offer my hair at tirumala. I also have boooked a room at tirumala in the mng slot and need to report 12 noon. Can u plz suggest me in organising my trip. Also if i am not able occupy the booked room, can i get any kind of restrooms at tirumala. Plz reply me

    • Dear Rajiv,

      Yes, Free dormitory rooms with locker facility available at Pilgrim Amenities Centers beside C.R.O Office Tirumala.

      As you are reaching Tirupati by 6:30 am, I would suggest to take Srivari Mettu Path. As soon you reach Tirupati, please go to Srinivasa Mangapuram and from Srinivasa Mangapuram it is 6 kms to Srivari Mettu Entrance.

      From Tirupati Railway there is free buses available to Srivari mettu. Try reach Sri Vari Mettu by 7:30 am or 7:45 am.

      As it takes 2 hours to 2 hours 15 mins to reach Hill Top. Which means by 10 am you will be in Tirumala.

      For hair offering , please go to KalyanaKatta let say if it takes 30 mins to reach KalyanaKatta and 45 mins for hair offering and bath.

      by 11 am or 11:15 am you can complete your activities. Still you have 45 mins lead time.

      Reporting time is 12 pm but you are allowed to Darshan Line till 1 pm. So you can easily manage if you take SriVari Mettu path.

      From Tirupati to Srinivasa mangapuram there are many buses, like piler , madanapalle, Thalakona, ramgampeta all these buses goes via srinivasa mangapuram.

      Try to board LSS (Least Stoping Services) which takes around 30 mins max to reach Srinivasa mangapuram temple entrance. From Srinivasa mangapuram entrane it takes 2- 3 mins walk to share autos and jeep’s stand. Private vehciles do run to these places quite fequently.

      And it takes 15 -20 mins to reach Srivari Mettu Entrance.

      Please let me know if further information required.

      Thanks,

      • Hii
        Thanks for the reply

        Actually we have not yet booked any darshan slot. That 12 noon thing which i mentioned was for the 100 rs room which should be reported before 12noon. So our confusion is for the room. Also according to u , we should immediately start to tirumala as soon as we get down the bus?
        Is it advisable to get freshup near tirupaty itself? or to climb the hill directly ?
        Now plz tell if we should book any darshan slot, which one will be better for our schedule?

  22. Hello,

    We are planning to visit Tirumala on 27th August 2015. Checked online accomodations, but they are not giving online accomodations only for August last week, dont know why is that.. All the other dates were available other than August last week. Kindly advise me whether i will be manage to get rooms at tirumala on arrival at morning by 9am? Also please let me know where is this TB Cottage 74 in google maps..

    • Dear Sangeetha,

      Booking room after reaching Tirumala is really time taking as Queue will be quite large and Rooms are allotted on First Cum First Serve basis at C.R.O General Office. I would advise to pre-book accommodation at Tirumala.

      Please check your mailbox for TB Cottage 74 route map.

      Thanks,

      • Dear Kamal,

        thanks for the reply. You advised me to pre book accomodations at tirumala, but how is it possible, as they are not giving online accomodations on 27& 28th August. Kindly advise. One of my friend is going to tirumala temple this month, is it possible to book room for me by him?

        • Dear Sangeetha,

          Rooms will not be allotted for single occupancy. if it is one day trip to Tirumala, then your friend can use free dormitory rooms with locker facility which is available both in Tirumala (Pilgrims Amenities Center beside C.R.O) and Tirupati (Srinivasam complex or Madhavam Guest house or Vishnu Nivasam).

          Yes, you can book room on your friend’s behalf.

          Please let me know if further clarification required.

          Thanks,

          • Dear Kamal,

            I think you have confused by my above mail..
            We are 3 ppls not me alone, also its a two day trip. Wat i was trying to say that is whether my friend who is coming to tirumala by July end can book room for me from cro office for my travel on August 27th. Is this possible?

  23. Dear Kamal Sir,

    I had been waiting to hear from you on the quality of rooms for Rs.100/- Are they good enough?

    I was able to book room only for a day i.e 2nd Aug. Any ways by which I can get room on 1st Aug in Tirumala? Can you suggest any options?

    I have booked 3.00 pm slot for darshan for which the reporting time is 2.00 pm. Any guesses how much would be the wait time on a Sunday? Also, to get the room I need to reach CRO by 12.00 pm, complete the formalities & then head for darshan. I also want to offer my hairs / go to Kalyankatta. Would all this be managed. Please help me know how?

    Kunal Pawar.

    • Dear Kunal,

      Rs.100 is ok with basic amenities like water, power and bed. Don’t worry, you are not going to stay room for long hours. Most of your time will be spent outside room in Tirumala.

      Getting accommodation on weekend in Tirumala is time taking. If you are interested, please look for accommodation in Tirupati Srinivasam complex which is opposite bus station or Vishnu Nivasam walk able from Railway station entrance. As rooms here are allotted to Pilgrims on Arrival.

      Waiting time for Rs.300 ticket is one hour, after 1 hour you are allowed for darshan. 2 pm is reporting time and 3 pm is darshan queue line and it takes 2 hours 15 mins (max) for complete darshan. which means by 5:15 pm you will be out of temple after completing Darshan.

      Yes, if you reach Tirumala by 9 am so that you can complete Hair offering at Kalyana Katta by 10 am (include bath as well) and can go to C.R.O Tirumala.

      Could let me know, whether you are planning to reach Tirumala by walk or by Bus?

      Thanks,

  24. Dear sir,

    Is there any chance to get a Room on Passport for NRIs, I am planning to visit on 2nd August and I will be reaching tirupati by morning 04:00AM on 2nd August. Also, Please tell me about darsan on passport for NRIs. About five to six years back, I utilized that facility. I would like to know whether this facility is still available.

    Thanking you in advance,

    Ravisankar

    • Dear Ravisankar,

      Yes, It is still available for NRIs thru supadam. Supadam timings for NRIs, 12 pm to 5 pm. Supadam entry is free of cost. http://gotirupati.com/ttd-supadam-timings/

      Accommodation is a general process. As it is weekend, accommodation will definitely take more time at C.R.O General Office Tirumala.

      Please let me know if further information required.

      Thanks,

      • Dear Kamal Sir,

        Thank you very much for your message and this message is helpful to many NRIs who are all working with me.

        Thanking you sir,

        Ravisankar

  25. Hii Thanks for the reply

    Actually we have not yet booked any darshan slot. That 12 noon thing which i mentioned is for the 100 rs room which should be reported before 12 noon. Our confusion is for the room. Also according to u we should immediately start to tirumala as soon as we get down the bus.

    Is it advisable to get fresh up in tirupaty itself or to climb the hill diectly. Also if we book darshan slot, which time would be better for us according to our schedule??

    Plz reply

  26. Dear Sir ,

    4) for accomdation where i can register ? and ideal time?
    5) what about the current booking method for accomdation at tirumala and availability of rooms?

    if we r not get any rooms what is ur suggestion?

    Thanks and Regards
    r.Gopalakrishnan
    Trichy

    • Dear Gopalakrishnan,

      As it is mid of the week, it is easy to get accommodation. After reaching Tirumala, please go to C.R.O General Tirumala or Padmavathi Guest House for accommodation. I’m pretty sure that rooms at Padmavathi GH will be available for allotment.

      15th Jul, Crowd will be minimal. Even with Sarva Darshan, it will be direct line for Darshan.

      I would suggest to look for accommodation at Padmavathi GH rooms than at C.R.O General Office.

      Please let me know if further information required.

      Thanks,

  27. we are family of 8th people coming for darshan on 25th aug 2015. can we get an accomodation and darshan booking after reaching tirumala or do we need to book it from Tirupati or Renigunnta. Is there any festival during this days

    • Dear Shrinivas,

      There is no major festival on 25th Aug. It would be good to look for accommodation in Tirupati at Srinivasam complex (opp bus station) or Vishnu Nivasam(near Railway station) rather than looking for Tirumala accommodation.

      Tirumala accommodation allotment will take more time than Tirupati accommodation.

      Please let me know if further information required.

      Thanks,

  28. Dear Mr. Kama

    Is it any possibility to get Accomodation in Tirumala for single person?

    According to TTD they have not given cottage for single person?

    so shall I get Accomodation in Mathas??

    Pls guide

    Nikhil

    • Dear Nikhil,

      Accommodation will not be provided for single occupancy. If it is one day trip to Tirumala, then please use free dormitory rooms with locker facility, which is available at Pilgrims amenities center (beside C.R.O General office Tirumala) .

      Mutt accommodation will be allotted to people from the respective communities.

      Please let me know if further information required.

      Thanks,

  29. Dear Sir, could you please reply to my below queries. Your help is really appreciated.

    We are planning to do my daughter Puttentikulu (Tonsure) on 30th July Evening and have Darshan on 31st July.
    We are unable to book any accommodation at Tirumala on 30 and 31st July. Also, we have MP Recommendation letter for Break Darshan on 31st July. But i heard Break darshans may be cancelled due to rush etc. but we will be updated only one day before about cancellations. With your experience could you please suggest whether we will have break darshan on 31-July? or it may be cancelled?

    • Dear AKR,

      For 31st July VIP Break Darshan, you need to submit Recommendation a day before Break Darshan. Even with Recommendation letter it is going to be L3 darshan , whiich is similar to Rs.300 tickets darshan but with lesser crowd.

      Instead of VIP break darshan, it would nice to opt for Kalyanotsavam tickets, which costs the same and process remains the same.

      While in Kalyanotsavam you can participate in pooja and then Darshan. Please try to get two separate letters one for Darshan tickets and other one for accommodation. After reaching Tirumala, please submit letter at C.R.O for Room allotment.

      As soon as you reach Tirupati, please go to Tirumala so that process of Room allotment will not take much time.

      When crowd goes high, TTD Cancel Break Darshan which happens only on Sat, Sun, Mon.

      Please let me know if further clarification required.

      Thanks,

      • Thanks Sir for your suggestions.

        Actually we initially thought for going Kalyanotsavam on 31 July but we are a bunch of ppl around 13 adults and 9 kids. So, we thought it would be difficult to get Kalyanotsavam tickets for all hence opted for VIP Break Darshan.

        Thanks for your help.

        • Dear AKR,

          VIP Break Darshan will also be tough to accommodate 13 adults. For 9 kids if they are below 12 years then ticket is not required.

          If you have strong recommendation, then it will work.

          Please let me know if further clarification required.

          Thanks,

          • Thanks you sir for your suggestions and prompt response. I have one last question. From recommendation letter or thru online 300/-, I can accommodate 5 more ppl along with me. In this case, do we need to carry Original ID proof for all ppl or just the main applicant proof is enough?

          • Dear AKR,

            Main applicant should carry ID proof, rest all can carry Photocopy.

            Time to time, Process is changing at Tirumala, it would good to keep it in room at least.

            Please let me know if further clarification required.

            Thanks,

    • 11 am morning we are reaching tirumala

    • Dear Seenivasan,

      As it is weekday, getting accommodation in easy in Tirupati compared to Tirumala. If you don’t have issues with Tirupati Accommodation, then it would nice to check at Srinivasam Complex which is opposite Bus station. one more facility Vishnu Nivasam at Railway Station is also available.

      If it is Tirumala, you need to wait little extra time. If you are ok with Cost then Padmavathi Guest house is available in Tirumala, where rooms are allotted to pilgrims on arrival. Rent is high Rs.2500 and more.

      Please let me know if further information required.

      Thanks,

  31. Dear Kamal

    Could you advise if there is any NRI accommodation available on 27th july (Monday)? I have tried online booking but no availability for any rooms till 9th September (56 days advance!)
    I and my father reach tirupathi on 27th july morning and I intend to walk to tirumala. We need a place for one day for me and my father (senior citizen).
    Any information will be gratefully received.

    thanks
    Praveen

    • Dear Praveen,

      It would be nice to look for accommodation in Tirupati. After reaching Tirupati, please go to Srinivasam complex (opp Bus station) where rooms are allotted On Arrival. One more cottage, Vishnu Nivasam near Railway Station is also available for allotment.

      Rooms at Tirumala will only be available by evening.

      Please let me know if further information required.

      Thanks,

  32. Hi Kamal Sir,
    I see you are responding very fast.
    I have few questions
    1. we are planning to visit tirumala on 28th Aug 2015.
    2. Can you please let me know what is the age limit for supadam for senior citizens. Can you please let me know is it free or do i need to book tickets? Can you share your contact number to my email id to check all these things.

    • Dear Sir,

      Senior citizen age limit for Gents is 65 and above whereas it is 60 and above for ladies.

      Supadam entry is free of cost for Senior citizens, Slot 1 : 10 am for which reporting time is 8 am, Slot 2: 3 pm for which reporting time is 1 pm.

      If age criteria is not met then it would be nice to book tickets at ttdsevaonline.com.

      Please let me know if further clarification required. If you still need my contacts , I’m happy to share.

      Thanks,

  33. I will reach Tirupati on 16th Aug, 2015….I hv logged on at ttd website & found no rooms available at Padmavati guest House….Is it possible that if i go walk in, than will it be available…..we are 7 adults + children 6 (aged between 3 to 12 yrs)…..I would be extremely thankful if you can help us or suggest us…..I hav booked Special Entry Darshan for 17th Aug, 2015 for 9 t0 10 Am slot….of Rs. 300 each……Also i hav not booked Spl. entry Darshan Ticket for childrens, as they are below 12 yrs…Kindly also let me know as m right by not booking Entry tickets for Childrens…

    • Dear Babu Naidu,

      Yes, tickets not required below 12 years. Please carry age proof for children near 12 years . it is advisable to carry age proof for children 8 years and above.

      Padmavathi Guest house rooms are allotted to pilgrims on Arrival. 16th Aug is weekend, and it would be hard to get rooms.

      Let me check with staff if there is option advance booking using DD.

      Thanks,

  34. Hi Kamal Sir, Could you please with below query.

    1. We are planning to have Break Darshanam on 31-July and we have recommendation letter from TTD Board member. I know we can book Rs.300/- tickets thru online. However, we are going with recommendation letter. But need your advice on below mainly.

    I heard Break Darshanam can be cancelled due to over crowd at any time. In this case, we will come to know only on 30-July evening whether we are having Break Darshanam on 31-July or not. Assume due to over crowd this is cancelled but can we get Rs.300/- tickets directly at TIRUMALA once we know the status of the Break Darshanam by using the TTD Board member recommendation letter?

    • Dear Subhar,

      Only One Break Darshan slot is available on a particular day. 31st July is Friday and Break Darshan will be at early hours. Friday morning, crowd will be normal in Tirumala so may not be cancelled. It would be nice to carry one more letter for Kalyanotsavam, if there is any change with Break Darshan.

      If it is L3 break Darshan, then opt for Kalyanotsavam Seva tickets. As L3 Darshan will be really quick so it would nice to choose Kalyanotsavam and also tickets costs the same as Break Darshan.

      Rs.300 tickets don’t have recommendation letter facility. It is only for Arjith Sevas and Break Darshan.

      Please let me know if further clarification required.

      Thanks,

      • Thanks Sir. Another question, we have one 5 yrs kid and 9 months daughter and going to Tirumala for 9 month kid for Puttentukulu..then can TTD allows all meant Father, Mother, 5 yrs Kid and 9 months baby to the darshan which comes under less than a year baby kind of.

        THanks
        Anil

        • Dear Subhar,

          Yes, 5 years kid, parents are allowed with infant. No ticket is required for entry thru Supadam. Please carry age proof for your kid as it is required at the entrance.

          Thanks,

          • Thank you sir. Since kids we have Date of birth certificates other than that we don’t have anything for kids to display age in their certificates. Can DOBs acceptable for kids for age proof?

          • Dear Subhar,

            Yes, Date of Birth certificates will do for Supadam Darshan. Please carry ID proof of your’s as well.

            Thanks,

  35. V.Dharani Dharan

    Hi Kamal,

    We are planning for a tonsure and ear boring ceremony for my 9 months old daughter on 24th September,2015 which happens to be a Bakrid (Holiday) and Purattasi tamil month. As you know it is an auspicious month for Lord Balaji.

    My question : Is there any special queue for similar to Senior Citizens for 9 months old baby? If yes, who can accompany with the baby for Darshan?

    I also understand from your replies for few queries that advance booking not required for ear boring. Am I right?

    Thanks in advance.

    Regards,
    Dharani

    • Dear Dharani,

      Yes, Special entry is available for infants below 12 months of age thru Supadam. Please carry age proof for your kid, infant and parents are allowed thru Supadam at no cost.

      Yes, Advance booking not required for ear boring. Ear boring can be done at Purohit sangam on arrival.

      Please let me know if further clarification required.

      Thanks,

      • Hi Kamal,

        Thanks for the quick response. September 24th happens to be a last day of Brahmotsavam. Can we be allowed through Supadam for Darshan on that day?
        Do they allow through Supadam during weekends?

        Regards,
        Dharani

        • Hi Kamal,

          Would my son aged 15 years also allowed in Supadam entry along with us(parents) and my 9 month old daughter?

          Regards,
          Dharani

          • Dear Dharani Dharan,

            Yes, your son is allowed for which you need to purchase Rs.300 at the entrance of Supadam.

            Please let me know if further clarification required.

            Thanks,

  36. Dear Mr Kamal, appreciate you taking time out and answering all queries. I am planning for a trip to Tirupati with my family. Main agenda is for my daughters tonsure and earboring. We have planned for Sep 15th and accordingly have booked 1000 Rs accommodation for Sep 14th. However we came to know today that there is Bramhotsavam starting on Sep 15th and that there would be no Sevas on that day. Also the sevas are currently not available via online booking. What options do i have? My daughter is less than 1 yr and we do not want to stand in line for long hours.

    • Also one more question… if i have to book any seva for 14th Sep, would i get tickets now? Should i wait for online quota to open or can i visit local TTD center to book seva ticket. Which seva would be the quickest? Asking this as my daughter is very small…

    • Dear Mukundan,

      As you daughter less than one year of age, you can access Supadam Entry Darshan. Please carry age proof of you kid. Supadam is entry is free of cost , infant below 12 months of age is allowed for Darshan.

      Supadam entry is available right from 8 am till 5 pm. Tonsure and Ear boring can be done at Purohit Sangam Tirumala.
      Arjitha Sevas are cancelled to accommodate Darshan for Pilgrims.

      Please let me know if further information required.

      Thanks,

      • Thanks Mr Kamal for the quick reply. What is the general time taken in Supadam darshan? Also I have my parents coming alone with me. Both are over 65? I believe there is a special darshan for Sr Citizens too. Can i combine both infant and Sr citizen darshan together? What would be the time slot for this and how much time will it take for darshan?

        • Dear Mukunda,

          For Senior Citizens it is 10 am for which reporting time is 8 am, another slot is at 3 pm for which reporting time is 1 pm.
          Yes, you can join with your parents at 10 am slot along with infant.

          Please let me know if further clarification required.

          Thanks,

  37. Dear Sir

    I am planing to reach chennai airport on 10th Aug 2015 around 12;00 noon and i have booked the same day darshan for 7 Pm for me and my family.

    Would you be able to make some sugestion if i will be able to make on time for this 7 pm darshan as i am coming from london to do darshan and i am returning back on 11th Aug to mumbai

    also sir can you confirm if i am allowed to wear trouser and a shirt in darshan or would i need to wear Kurta etc?

    and finally sir if i have darshan booked for 7pm , would it matter if in case i reach at7:15pm over for darshan for speciall entry as might get delayed due to the facts of trafic in india

    Finally any sugestion how do i book rooms for family as no rooms are available online?

    Thanks
    Dhaval Mehta

    • Dear Dhaval,

      It is still fine at 7:15 pm. No problem with that. Rooms availability varies time to time. After Darshan, please check for Rooms availability CRO general Office, Tirumala. For higher cost accommodation , please visit Padmavathi Guest House.

      I will update you with Rooms availability on 10th Aug , 1 pm.

      Thanks,

      • Dear Kamal Sir

        Thank you for your response.

        May i also request to check the practicality of me making to darshan on basis of my scenario.

        i land madras airport on 10th Aug around 12 noon and then i am taking a straight cab from there, do you think that i will be able to make for the darshan booking of 7pm on the same day.

        i would appreciate if you could work out timings on estimation and give any suggestion so that i can make on time for the booking for 7pm darshan that i have done.

        Apologies for trouble.

        kind Regards
        Dhaval

        • Dear Dhaval,

          If you are planning to reach Tirupati by Car, then it hardly takes 3 hours 15 mins to reach Tirupati. From Tirupati to Tirumala Temple, it takes 40 mins.

          Let say, if start by 2:30 pm from chennai airport, then it takes 6 hours 45 mins to reach Tirumala Temple.

          Practically it is possible, if you plan by Car.

          Please let me know if further clarification required.

          Thanks,

          • Dear Kamal sir

            Thanks for the infomration,.

            Lets assume i leave chennai airport around 1:00pm noon and so would you suggest me to join the darshan line whcih i have booked for 7pm or shall i put my luggage first in an accomodation and then join the que.

            I can understand that this may depend on time i reach there, but if you could provide with some scenarios i will be grateful.

            Finally one more thought i have booked sudarshanam for 50 rs for 9pm for the same day in case i miss the 7pm schedule just as a back up, would you know by any chance how long does it take for 50rs ticket in darshan just in case i miss the 7;00pm slot??

            kind Regards

  38. Kamal Sir,
    First and foremost, loads of thanks and respect for answering all our queries patiently. Let the almighty bless you abundantly. Seeking your guidance in my case as well.
    Planning to take baby for first tonsure on Aug 2. We are family of seven adults. I have booked 300 rs ticket for Aug 2 10 pm slot.
    My queries
    1.tonsure time given by our purohit is 9… Will it be possible for us to do the same and reach for Darsham at ten?
    2.i have my fil > 65 and Mil > 60.. Will it be possible us to take them along in infant q? What kind of age proof they need? Is infant and senior queue entry the same?
    3.aug 2 Sunday…. What can I expect about the crowd and approximately what will be the time taken for Darsham (as I have to plan my baby’s food accordingly)

    Thanks in advance

    • Dear Annu,

      Yes, it can be planned. Please reach KalyanKatta an hour in advance and update Barber over there about Hair Offering time.
      After Hair offering, bathing rooms are available there at KalyanaKatta . From KalyanaKatta, it takes 30 mins to reach Temple.

      2) Yes, Infant, Parents, Senior Citizens can join at the same time for Darshan and entry is same.

      Please let me know if further information required.

      Thanks,

      • Thanks for the reply Kamal Sir.

        Few more clarifications:

        1. I understand that Parents along with Infant can join the infant Q @ 10 AM (no prior reporting needed), but do the Senior Citizens (grand parents) need to report by 8 AM @ Supadham entry?

        2. For age proof of senior citizens, whats the proof to be carried?

        3.We are travelling by car, till which point will be able to go by car? (kalian kata/ Supadham entrance)

        4.Apart from Sunday, is Aug 2 any auspicious day?

        Thanks in advance, Annu

        • Dear Annu,

          1) Yes, Senior Citizens should report at 8 am for 10 am Darshan Slot. Please update staff that you all came for the same Darshan slot so that they can reserve space. Usually Infant and parents are allowed first as they need to more attention.
          2) Any ID proof like Passport, Aadhaar Card, Driving License or any government authorized ID proofs.
          3) Please park opposite to MBC 34, It is open parking area. From MBC 34 to Supadam , it takes 15 mins by walk.
          4) Regarding Aug 2, I will check and get back to you today itself.

          Thanks,

  40. Dear sir,

    I booked for special entry darshan for 6 people on 27th july 11-12pm. We will be reaching Tirumala by 4pm on 26th July.

    1) Is any chance of getting accomodation in tirumala? IF yes, where do you recommend?

    2)In booking There was a mistake in ID proofs for two persons.

    Mistake 1: It is printed voter card instead of aadhar card. But we mentioned aadhar card number while booking. we don’t have voter card. Do they excuse and allow for darshan?

    Mistake 2: For another person, we mentioned voter card and number. But Here mistake is, Name in booking is priya and in Vote card is Priyanka. But we have aadhar card with name Priya .

    So here my question is do you want to me produce both IDs to them? Do they accept?

    In case, If they won’t allow those two persons for darshan, whom should we can complain?

    hope you’ll clear my doubts as soon as possible .

    Thanks & Regards,
    S patel

    • Dear Patel,

      Mistake 1: It is printed voter card instead of aadhar card. But we mentioned aadhar card number while booking. we don’t have voter card. Do they excuse and allow for darshan? – Yes, it is accepted. Tell the staff that card is mispalced.

      Mistake 2: For another person, we mentioned voter card and number. But Here mistake is, Name in booking is priya and in Vote card is Priyanka. But we have aadhar card with name Priya . – Yes, It is accepted. Please carry both ID proofs so that staff will not have confusion.

      These kind of mistakes do happen regularly. No worries. You are good to go for Darshan.

      Please let me know if further clarification required.

      Thanks,

  41. Hai sir,
    1. My family want to visit tirumala for bhramotsavam on sep 21. My father and mother is above 58. There are two children of less than 3 years. My doubt is I tried to book accommodation online. But it is showing not available. Whether online quota for darshan and accommodation will be released in bhramotsavam time or not.what is the other alternative available. Thanks in advance.

    • Dear Satyamraju,

      Usually TTD reserves accommodation due to Heavy crowd. If not available, it would be safe to look for accommodation in Tirupati Srinivasam, Madhavam Guest House. If not available then it is good to stay at Private accommodation in Tirupati.

      Please let me know if further information required.

      Thanks,

      • Thank you sir
        1.I am govt employee and we have holiday home in tirupathi. I have to book that only but it is difficult to travel four times from tirumala to tirupathi since we are planning to stay there two days .
        2. Today I have seen even special darshan ticket booking also stopped in advance in bhramotsavam time. Sir, whether they will release or not .

  42. HI KAMAL SIR,
    WE have planned to come to tirumala on sep20 n d eve of brammotsavam and thought of booking darshan tickets and accomodation via online but today only i came to know online booking also stopped what are the other ways to book accomodation and darshan ticket,also private accomodation..if we goto e darshan counters can we get d tickets..pls guide me

    • Dear Ramanujam,

      Special entry Darshan will be released within this week, if not I will check and let you know what are the other Darshan tickets planned for Barhmotsavam. It would nice to look for Private accommodation in Tirupati rather than Tirumala. It would be crowded and hard to get accommodation.

      Please let me know if further clarification required.

      Thanks,

  43. I along with my family (Mother, Father and Sister) are visiting Tirumala on 1st of August 2015 by STEPS.
    We tried for room booking but we didn’t get any room.
    Kindly suggest if there are any guest house or mutt’s are available.
    I also came to know that for the devotees coming by STEPS there is separate Kalyanakatta. Kindly let us know the location of Kalyanakatta for devotees coming by steps.

    Thanks
    Rajiv B

    • Dear Rajiv,

      Allocation at Mutt is only Pilgrims from those communities. Crowd will be minimal at KalyanKatta which hardly takes 30-45 mins . Bathing rooms available there at KalyanaKatta. If it is one day trip to Tirumala, then accommodation is not requried. One can manage at TTD Free dormitory Rooms at Pilgrims Amenities Centers in Tirumala.

      Please let me know if further information required.

      Thanks,

  44. dear Kamal sir.

    I attached the passport number for 300 special darshan ID proof . I will carry the Xerox copy of passport.

    Also, please recommend which darshan can book special darshan or sudarsanam. which one is better ?

    Thanks,
    Mani

    • Dear Manikandan,

      It is advisable to do advance booking either in Tirupati or in Tirumala. As it is Saturday, getting rooms On Arrival will be tough.
      Please look for private accommodation.

      Please let me know if further info required.
      Thanks,

Padmvathi Guest House rooms are allotted to Pilgrims on Arrival. Which is subjected to availability. 24/9/15 is the last day for Barhmotsavam, so tickets will be available at online as well.

      Now advance booking thru DD is not available.

      Please let me know if further info required.

      Thanks,

  49. Hai kamal sir,
    I have one doubt regarding privileged darshan
    I read in site that serving military and government employees will get it. Government employees means any specific cadres are there.whether it is applied in bhramotsavam time also.
    Thanks in advance sir.

    • Dear Sir,

      Supadam Entry Darshan won’t available during Brahmotsavam. Could you look for Rs.300 tickets at ttdsevaonline.com?

      Thanks,

  50. We are friends of 3 people coming for dharshan on 08/08/2015. can we get an accommodation after reaching tirumala. we will reach tirumala at 8.00 pm on 07/08/2015. please mention accommodation counter timing. & also regarding dress code for 300/- ticket. we can wear pant and shirt?. please help me.

    • Dear Mathi,

      I really doubt about accomodation in 8/8/15 as it is weekend. If it is one day trip to Tirumala, then you can manage without accommodation.

      Free dormitory rooms with locker facility is available at Pilgrim Amenities Center in Tirumala. One such facility is available beside CRO.

      Please let me know if further info required.

      Thanks,

  51. Dear Sir

    Can we get locker or other facility for keeping footwear, mobile phones & camera at Tirumala. kindly advise me procedure also.

    Thank you

  54. Hi,

    We are planning for my son’s tonsure on Nov 23, 2015. We will be travelling from US and will reach Tirupathi on Nov 22, 2015. We are a group of 16 with 2 kids(ages 11 and 7) and 1 infant (my son-11 months). My wife and I are planning to reach Tirumala by Steps on Nov 22 and planning to complete tonsure on Nov 23 morning between 6.20 and 7.15 AM. I have few questions as I didn’t get enough information from any other website and I would really be thankful for your response:

    1. Which would be the best seva/ darshan for my group to complete tonsure and quick darshan on Nov 23, 2015?
    2. I understood that kids/infant and their parents are allowed through supadam. How long it will take for supadam darshan on Nov 23, 2015?
    3. Will other members in my group be allowed with us through supadam if they get RS. 300 ticket?
    4. Which accommodation would be the best for our group from Nov 22, 2015 to Nov 23, 2015?
    5. Will tonsure and ear boring be done at accommodation rooms?
    6. What is the procedure for ear boring and tonsure and whom should I contact after reaching tirumala for this?
    7. What time the internet booking quota is opened on a day? Like 10:00 AM for IRCTC tatkal booking
    8. How long Kalyanotsavam will take, as we have an infant with us?

    • Dear Umamaheswaran,

      1. Which would be the best seva/ darshan for my group to complete tonsure and quick darshan on Nov 23, 2015? – Kalyanotsavam is good for couples and for family.
      2. I understood that kids/infant and their parents are allowed through supadam. How long it will take for supadam darshan on Nov 23, 2015? – Supadam Darshan will take 2 hours. Only Infant and Parents are allowed. Relatives will not be considered.
      3. Will other members in my group be allowed with us through supadam if they get RS. 300 ticket? – Supadam entry is free of cost.
      4. Which accommodation would be the best for our group from Nov 22, 2015 to Nov 23, 2015? – Could you check for accommodation and seva booking at ttdsevaonline.com

      Accommodation in Tirumala is really nice, the higher the cost the higher the comfort.

      5. Will tonsure and ear boring be done at accommodation rooms?
      6. What is the procedure for ear boring and tonsure and whom should I contact after reaching tirumala for this?

      • Thanks a lot for your kind replies Sir. It would be great if you could clarify few more queries which I have:
        1. How long will it take to complete Darshan if we get Kalyanotsavam Seva tickets for my group(including my infant)?
        2. I read from your previous replies that Tonsure can be done at accommodation rooms. But will ear boring be also done at rooms?

        • Dear Umamaheswaran,

          1. How long will it take to complete Darshan if we get Kalyanotsavam Seva tickets for my group(including my infant)? – Kalyanotsavam is 1 hour seva. After Kalyanotsavam, it takes 25 mins to complete.

    I am pleased to introduce myself Logesh S from Chennai, I am planning to visit Tirumala along with my new born CHILD & Family members of 9 for completing THULABHARAM on 30/August/2015. Is there any special dharshan for the new born and parents as It will be very tough to carry child in long hours [even special dharshan Rs.300 may take 2-3hours as I heard]. Kindly help to understand the options.
    Also I am trying to get the accommodation on 29 August 2015 evening, but could not book it thru online as most of the rooms are booked already. I am afraid since we are carrying New born.. and Is there Any other options to stay for my New born on that night at Tirumala. Help me out even if any guest houses or special arrangements for accommodating New born and Mother.

    Thanks
    Logesh S

  68. sir I have made mistake in ttd booking of 300 darshan ticket for 6 persons
    -one of pilgrim ID details left empty and another pilgrim ID number wrongly entered. Is there any problem in durshan time.
    – reporting venue for 300 ticket and time for reporting venue.
    – time taken in durshan for Tuesday.

    • Dear Shivam Rai,

      Is main person ID info update rightly, I mean the one with photo. If so then you are good, explain this to staff and they will definitely consider the request.

      Reporting time is the Darshan slot which should be available in the ticket.
      Tuesday, crowd will be minimal and Darshan takes around 1 hours 45 mins – 2 hours.

      Thanks,

  69. Dear Sir,

    I have a Letter from MLA for both accomdation and L2 darshan, please let me know whom to approach after reaching Tirumala, for both accomdation and darshan.. we need two rooms.

  75. Krishna Chaitanya

    Hi

    Could you please assist with the following queries?

    Back ground: We have planned a marriage in Tirumala on 29th Oct and got the marriage function hall booked for the same. However, we would require rooms two days(27th Oct & 28th Oct) before the marriage date and one day(30th Oct) after the marriage.

    1/ Is there a way to book rooms in bulk for marriage parties or do we need to book rooms under different names as per the requirement? If yes, please let us know the details?

    2/ Secondly, on 30th Oct we are planning to attend kalyanostavam in the morning/afternoon. How long does it take for the event to complete? We have our journey scheduled in the evening 7’o clock on 30 Oct.

    Thank you for support.

    • Dear Krishna Chaitany,

      1/ Is there a way to book rooms in bulk for marriage parties or do we need to book rooms under different names as per the requirement? If yes, please let us know the details? – Yes, it is wise to book rooms on different names. Max you can hold rooms for 2 days without extra charges. If you can get recommendation, then rooms will be allotted easily.

      2/ Secondly, on 30th Oct we are planning to attend kalyanostavam in the morning/afternoon. How long does it take for the event to complete? We have our journey scheduled in the evening 7’o clock on 30 Oct. Kalyanotsavam and Darshan will take around 2 hours 30 mins. Which means by 2:30 pm you will complete Kalyanotsavam, Darshan, Collecting Laddu Prasadam.

      Please let me know if further info required.

      Thanks,

  76. Hello Kamal garu,
    We people were planned my daughter’s Anna Prasanna function at tirumala on Oct-18th, 2015. We are coming by 17th and will leave on 19th-oct. Almost 20 persons are coming to tirumala. I know its very tough for accommodation. Every year we will attend for Garuda Seva. As per our tradition, unfortunately my kids anna prasanna date also came on Garuda Seva only, which is on oct-18th, 2015. So, sentimentally we people want to celebrate that function at tirumala only. For travelling and E- spl darshan tickets everything got booked, except the accommodation which is very tough task for almost 4 rooms in that period. I know that TTD people won’t provide advance booking at the time of Brahmotsavam. I was contacted few mutts also, but they are not giving any assurance in advance. Kindly, guide me where we can get accommodation in tirumala. Suggest me any mutts or any other source of availing accommodation.
    Thank you.

    • Dear Bindu,

      During Brahmotsavam, it is tough to find accommodation in Tirumala. It would be nice to look for private accommodation near Kapila Theertham so that you can save journey. Tirupati To Tirumala takes 35- 40 mins.

      Please let me know if further info required.

      Thanks,

  77. Hi Kamal,

    We have no. family people 6 persons. If I book one room how many persons can stay maximum. Is there any conditions to stay only these many no. of person maximum.

    Awaiting for your reply.

    Thanks in advance.
    Venkatesh R

    • Dear Venkatesh R,

      There is no restriction as such with the no.of person stay in a room, it is up to their comfort level.

      Thanks,

  78. hi kamal garu,

    i have booked a room on 09.09.15 for Rs500/-in tirumala.I just want to know what type of accomidation will be provided, because i am coming with my kids who are 10 months old

    • Dear Bysani Aswani Kumar,

      Room will have double cot with blankets. You will get hot water from the geyser. All required amenities will be provided.
      Could you let me know if you are looking for anything more?

      Thanks,

  79. I am travelling to Tirupati on 4th Sept and would walk the seven hill to reach Tirumala. Please let me know if I can get accommodation when I reach there on 5th September. Also, would 1 day be sufficient to visit Sri Kalahasti and Kanipakam?

    • Dear Pavan,

      Rooms will be filled up by 4th afternoon so it getting room in Tirumala is time taking. If you plan to start on 4th night then Darshan will be sometime in the afternoon and you can only cover Sri Kalahasthi or Kanipakam but not both.

      Please let me know if further info required.

      Thanks,

  80. I am coming with my daughter on 23rd oct 2015 to tirupati, I have booked the train tickets, spl darshan tickets between 11 to 12, if I reach tirupati railway station by 7AM, whether I can able to go for the darshan after getting the accommodation and freshing up. pl advise.

    • Dear Krishna Kumari,

      Yes, From Tirupati Railway station to Tirumala, it takes 60 mins (max) . Even if there is a delay of 30 mins, you can reach Tirumala by 8:30 am.
      If you don’t have accommodation in Tirumala, please use the facilities at Pilgrims Amenities Center(PACs) in Tirumala to fresh up, beside CRO office Tirumala.

      From PAC to SMC 211 it takes 15 mins by walk.

      Please let me know if further info required.

      Thanks,

  81. We are two couples and have booked the Subrapatham seva on 5th Nov 2015. Since it is at early morning 0230AM, we cannot stay in Tirupathi and reach in time as the Ghat road opens only at 3 AM.

    E- Accomodation is all full. Is there any other way to do advance booking in Tirumala hills ? Does any of the mutt provide this facility ?

    • Dear Raghunathan,

      Accommodation at Mutts is allotted only for the pilgrims from the respective communities. If you reach Tirumala by 4th , then there is a possibility of getting room in Tirumala as it is weekday.

      Otherwise, plan to stay in Tirupati and start by 11 am so that you will reach Tirumala by 11:45 am and 15 -20 mins walk to VQC I entrance, then plan to go to Aadhi Varaha Swamy Darshan and it takes another 30 mins. so you can have 1 hour relaxing time in Tirumala.

      Please let me know if further info required.

      Thanks,

      Please let me know if further info required.

      • Thanks Kamal.
        In the absence of room at Tirumala I had planned to do exactly as you mentioned ( I think you meant 11 PM )
        Anyway as I understand, the eAccomodation for 4th Nov starts at 00:30 hrs on 7th Sep. So let me also give it a try. Of course the TTD server should stay with me !! Normally the moment the booking time opens, there is a mad rush with so many log ins and the server goes on the blink – even to book this Subrabatham darshan was a very tense affair and I almost gave up. Finally it was Lord Balaji who thought of taking me !!

  82. I have booked Kalyanosavam seva on 3-10-2015. I am reaching tirupati on 3-10-2015 morning 6.30 AM. I could no get the accomodation. Can a get the accomodation at Tirumala on reaching at Tirumala before reporting time at 10.00 AM for the Kalyanosavam seva. Thank you

    • Dear Balaji Pathak,

      It is saturday so crowd will be high in Tirumala and it is hard to get accommodation in Tirumala. Please look for private accommodation in Tirupati.

      Thanks,

  83. Hi Kamal Garu,

    Can you plese tell me how to book accomidation in matt(s) at Tirumala in advance.

    I tried to book accomodation online but not available for 12th Oct.
    Appreciate your help.

    Thankyou.

    • Dear Prakash,

      Accommodation at Mutts is reserved only for their community members. As it is Monday, if you are ok with Tirupati accommodation, then reach Srinivasam Complex which is opposite Tirupati Bus station. Rooms here are allotted to Pilgrims On Arrival. You can also try at Vishnu Nivasam which is walk able from Railway Station.

      Please let me know if further info required.

      Thanks,

      • We(Me and my wife) had booked two tickets for Suprabatha seva. As my daughter was 1 year old, we did not buy Seva ticket to her. Will TTD allow my kid also with us for suprabatha seva?

        For normal Darshan TTD allow children without ticket, but I am not sure about Seva’s. Please provide your comments on this.

        Thank You.

  84. What will checkout time if we choose Accomodation checkin time slot as ’00:00 hrs to 12.00 hrs’ and ’12:01 hrs to 23:59 hrs’ ?
    and what if we miss the checkin time by couple of hrs ?

  85. Hello Sir,

    I have two queries.

    1. Is accomodation offered to a single male person at Thirumala & Thirupathi?
    2. Is Kalayana Katta facility (offering hair to Lord Venkateswara) facility available at Thirupathi?

    I am planning to visit Thirumala on 22nd or 23rd September. Please advise if getting rooms will be easier on Monday & Tuesday.

    Thanks

    • Dear Bhuvanesh,

      1) Accommodation is not provided for single occupancy.
      2) Yes, it is available ,but it is advisable to offer hair in Tirumala at KalyanaKatta.

      Please let me know if further info required.

      Thanks,

  86. For Suprabatha seva, 1year old kid allowed with Parents..?

      When comes to Darshan e-special Entry Darshan tickets (Rs.300) tickets available from 9 am till 9 pm, check at your convenience which Darshan slot suites better for you. For Rs.300 ticket (per person) , it takes 1 hour waiting and 1 hour 45 mins Darshan time.

      As said earlier, tickets not required for children if they are below 12 years, so you don’t need include their names while booking online.

      Bus frequency at Tirupati Bus station to Tirumala is at 30 mins – 45 mins. If it is day time bus frequency will be high as it is night so bus frequency will be low. Tirumala Ghat Section will be closed from 12 am till 2 am, so even if you reach Tirupati Bus station much early, you need to wait till 2 am.

      Tirupati to Tirumala, it takes 35 – 40 mins by Bus. Please carry sweaters or blankets as it will be so chill at Hills.

      Please check for Darshan and accommodation at ttd site and let me know if you are able to make successful booking. If not I can give you some other plan.

      Thanks,

    also pls give advise if Supadham Darshan is better than Break Darshan as most of us are senior citizens.

    Thanks

  97. Dear Kamal,

    We have booked tickets for INR 300 special darshan on 24th of October (Saturday). We are in total of 13 people. We would need accommodation at Tirumala on 23rd (Friday) and 24th (Saturday) October,2015. Could you please advise us on the procedure to book the cottage/accommodation in advance. We have 8 months baby with us planning to offer hair on Saturday.

    Looking forward for your response. Thanks.

    Kind Regards,
    Vijay

  98. Dear Mr Kamal,

    I plan to reach Tirumala by 12 Noon, have my head tonsured and go for 3 PM senior Citizens darshan. I will leave Thirumala after darshan.

    1.I think for this darshan we have to report 2 hour early. Is it possible to complete tonsure (and bath) in 1 hour?

    2. Is there any chance of getting some accommodation for just 4-5 hours (for bath and keeping my bag)? Nothing is available online.

    Thanks and Regards.

    • Dear Sir,

      Yes, one should report 2 hours in advance http://gotirupati.com/senior-citizens-darshan-tirumala/
      After reaching Tirumala, please deposit luggage at Pilgrims Amenities Center beside CRO http://gotirupati.com/pilgrims-amenities-centers/.

      You can do this way, after depositing luggage, then go to Supadam and register at Supadam entrance by 1 pm then you have 2 hours to go to KalyanaKatta for Tonsure and bath.
      and then report at Supadam at 3 pm.

      1 pm is to register, they will not pilgrims till 3 pm. (I’m going to check on this again if there is any change in the process).

      Thanks,

      • Dear Mr Kamal,

        Thanks a lot. It is so kind of you to provide such useful information and guidance. I am truly grateful to you.

        For your seva to his devotees, the Benevolent Lord Sri Venkateswara will bless you in abundance.

        I have one (silly) question. I find there are multiple locations for hair tonsure, including in some guest houses. I guess those in guest houses will be less crowded (and will have less waiting times). Are those in guest houses open only to residents or to public also?

        Thanks again.

  99. I want to visit in tirumala on 11/10/15 . I will reach tirumala at 11 AM. Darshan time is 3 PM . There is no accommodation available on that day. Same day I have to return back at 6 PM.So that is there any temporary facility available at kalyanakatta to keep my luggage? Is time is sufficient to give my hair at kalyanakatta before noon?For that where can i keep my luggage?Please guide me.How much time required to reach from renigunta to Tirumala temple?

    Regards
    A.Srinivasa Rao

    • Dear Srinivasa Rao,

      If 3 pm is the Darshan then it takes 2 hours to complete Darshan. by 5 pm you can complete Darshan and 15 mins to collect Laddus from counter . I guess your schedule is tight.
      Yes, you can deposit luggage at TTD free luggage center available at VQC I and VQC II entrance. You can also safe guard luggage at Pilgrims Amenities Centers in Tirumala http://gotirupati.com/pilgrims-amenities-centers/.

      Please let me know if further info required.

      Thanks,

    • Dear Ashwini Jhawar,

      As you are planning in a group, it would nice if you book accommodation in Tirumala for which you need to create multiple login IDs at http://www.ttdsevaonline.com. Each room can accommodate 6 members so 70 means you need 12 rooms minimum. Create 10 login IDs and look for room cost while booking at your convenience.

      You can also book Darshan tickets Rs.50 tickets online so that you can plan your clearly.

      Please let me know if more info required. I’m happy to share the info.

      Thanks,

  104. Dear Kamal,
    What type of Cottages/Guest house can be alloted from MBC 34?.
    And how to reach MBC 34 from Tirumala Bus stop

    • Dear sir,

      Room allotment counters for Recommendation Letters in Tirumala http://gotirupati.com/tirumala-room-allotment-counters/
      At MBC 34, they will even allot SPT if you go with good recommendation.

      From Tirumala Bus station, it takes 20 – 25 mins walk. From Tirumala Bus station -> Annamayya Circle -> Down stairs to Shops -> There you can find Banyan Tree , Take left -> This path takes you to VQC I entrance -> straight and right (indication: One tree will be in the middle of the road) .

      You can ask anyone if you miss anywhere.

      Thanks,

      Thanks,

  107. Hi Kamal,

    We are planning to visit tirumala in Dec. 25 & 26. I’m going to book rooms at tirupati, The check in and out slot mentioned 00:00 Hrs to 12:00 Hrs. I will be reached tirupati at early morning 3 AM. So I can book morning slot, my doubt is when we check out we have to check the the same time next day early morning i.e. 3 AM or i can stay till 12PM. please let me know.

    Regards
    Nithya

    • Dear Nithya,

      If you are selecting 00:00 to 12:00 means you need to check out 11:59 pm on the same day. Let say if you are going to check-in at 1 am on 25th Dec, which falls under 00:00-12:00 hours slot, you need to checkout before 25th Dec 11:59 pm.

      Please let me know if further clarification required.

      Thanks,

      • Thanks Kamal,

        That means the stay duration only for 12 hrs. Not 24 hrs duration like hotels are providing? I thought if the check-in 25th slot means check-out is next day slot… is it not like that?

        • Dear Nithya,

          It is 24 hours, if check-in is at 00:01. Please create one more login ID to book room for one more day. It is one room per login ID.

          Thanks,

          • Hi Kamal ji,

            I’m unable to understand, please clarify. I’m going to take room at tirupati at 25th Dec. early morning 3.30am. That means what will be my check-out time. Please dont mind i’m asking too many questions….

          • Dear Nithya,

            If you are reaching at 3:30 am, then it will take another 45 mins – 60 mins to reach Tirumala. Which means by 4:30 am you will be Tirumala and you need to checkout on the same day by 11:59 pm. In order to avoid confusion. Try to book one more using different login ID for 26th Dec. So you can checkout and check-in easily.

            Thanks,

  108. Dear Sir.i m gng alone to tirupati dis month…can u guide me ..ver to stay…i dnt hav darshan problm.only staying i hv problm..so pls let me know d place.thank u.

  109. Hi, We are a group of approx 50 people visiting Tirumala for a wedding on Nov 18th; need rooms for Nov 17th & Nov 18th. Devasthanam rooms are not available in online; if we need to do current booking how much time does it take? do we have any other option? as we don’t want to be waiting for a long time with so many people..

    Thanks

    • Dear Saravana,

      Instead of looking for Rooms in Tirumala, please check for Rooms in Tirupati at Vishnu Nivasam ( Near Railway station), Srinivasam complex (Opp. Bus station).
      For 50 people, you need at least 10 rooms, which generally takes more time. 4-5 rooms will readily available during weekdays.
      You can split group, so that few try for Vishnu Nivasam and other group at Sriniavsam , so that it will not take much time.

      Thanks,

      Thanks,

      • Sir,

            After reaching Tirumala, please visit CRO office which is 2 -3 mins walk from Tirumala Bus station. Rooms will be allotted on checking the availability. Need to show the receipt and ID proof at CRO reservation counter.

            Please let me know if you need more info.

            Thanks,

          • Dear Kamal,

            Good Morning!

            Thanks .
            Sorry to bothering you again .As you have mentioned checking of availability it means online booking is not confirmed booking ,so you meant to say i have to wait for availability as i have already paid for the room for the mentioned date. As you have mentioned to meet at CRO office,so i have to stand in queue or there is separate way for online bookers?

            Also please explain me about time slot i have booked 12:01 hrs to 23:59 it is morning or night?

          • Dear Narendar,

            Online booking is confirmed booking. What I meant is that, at C.R.O reservation counter after displaying e-receipt they will allot the room after checking the availability. There are many cottages in Tirumala and Room will be allotted in any of these cottages.

            12:01 pm to 23:59 pm which is from afternoon to night.

            Thanks,

  112. Dear sir/madam – We are party of 10 and planning to visit Tirupathi any day between December 23 and 27. Could you please let me know the best day to visit and also advice me how/when to book guest houses for ~ Rs 1000-3000 per night online? e-accomodation shows blue in color from Dec 13th but I am wondering when do you exactly open the online booking. Is there any chance to book online (or call if possible?).

    Appreciate your help on this.

    Thanks,
    Valla

    • Dear Valla,

      Online booking for ttd cottages can only be done at ttdsevaonline.com . Call booking is not available. TTD will release Rooms quota 60 days in advance, which means for 23 -27 , it will be on 23 -27.
      It is daily quota, which means for 13th Dec, it is released online on 13th Oct.

      Please let me know if you need more info.

      Thanks,

      • Hi Kamal ji, still the december month accomadation quota not released.. when it will be release, and how we comes to know when it will be released… actually you said exact 60days before it will be released. But for december month not yet release.

        Thanks

        • Dear Sir,

          Could you let me know the date for which you are looking for accommodation in Tirumala?

          Thanks,

          • I’m looking for dec. 12th.. Today’s date is 16th but still the tirupati quota accomadation not released

  113. SESHAGIRIRAO MELLACHERVU

    Kindly suggest the accommodation nearer to temple in Tirumala and also inform whether the such rooms can be requested at the time of taking room allotment there.

  114. I have a room booked on 23rd Oct for 00:00 – 12:00 slot… can i go at 22nd 11:30 and avail the room at 12 PM. If it is i can go to tirumala on 22nd itelse or else need to look for alternative.
    Thanks,
    Ajay

    • Dear Ajay,

      Rooms once booked, can’t be changed. To avail room in Tirumala, you need to report at CRO between 00:00 – 12:00 pm only. Which means, 22nd Oct mid night, ie. 23rd morning time is your reporting time.

      As it can’t be changed, you can look for other alternative so that you will not have any problem.

      Please let me know if you need more info.

      Thanks,

  115. Dear Sir,

    We are a group of six persons (my friend, his wife, his 1 yr 2 months daughter, his father, his mother, me and my cousin) booked special darshan tickets for the slot 3pm-4pm on 25 Oct 2015. Later we heard that there is a facility called supadam darshan for families with infant babies. My doubts are:
    1. Will they allow all (infant with her father and mother including the rest) of us into supadam gate?
    2. How many peoples will be allowed in this queue?
    3. If they allow us befor 1pm or 2pm, do we need to take extra tickets? or Rs 300 tickets for special darshan are inough?

    Please clarify my doubts.

    Thank you.

    • Dear Mahesh,

      1) Only Infant, Infant mother and Infant father are allowed thru Supadam. Relatives and friends are not allowed thru Supadam.
      2) Infant entry is between 8 am – 1:30 pm. http://gotirupati.com/infant-entry-in-tirumala/
      3) Infant entry is free of cost, no ticket required for monther and father.
      If you all want to go together, then you all need to opt for Rs.300 ticket only.
      Please let me know if you need more info.

      Thanks,

    I’m looking accommadation at tirupati on Dec. 14 and 15th. As you said 60 days advance reservation will be released. But i’m checking daily still the quoto is not released. Please let me know when it will be released.

    And for multiple booking you mentioned that create multiple log in id. So for multiple login id can I use the same phone number or for each different number for creating log in.

    Regards
    Venkatesh R

    • Dear Venkatesh R,

      yes, for multiple login ID, you need to have unique mobile numbers which means different number for each login ID.

      I believe that it will be released within this week.

      Thanks,

      • Hi Thanks ji,

        I’m keep checking the room opening status. Before and all it was opening at 00:30 AM but not internet quoto is opening at morning 9:00 am only. Can I book the rooms at TTD counters in Bangalore. Is it possible? If possible one person go and able to book multiple rooms?

        • Dear Venkatesh R,

          Multiple rooms booking is not possible event at counter. Only one room per person, for multiple rooms, it should be one than one person.

          Thanks,

  121. Me and My Wife Planning to Visit Thirumalai on 23rd Oct with my 11 Month Old and 4 Yr old Babies. Neither we have booked darshan tickets nor accomadation. Also we plan to offer tonsure for the small baby I have Few Queries.
    1. Infant free entry ( i heard it as Supadam entry) will be eligible for us on 23rd or 24th.? timings?
    2. Infant gets any previlage for accomadation booking?
    3. Other State MLA recommendation letter is valid or not? If valid whom to address it?
    4. Please tell me the Formalities for the Tonsure?
    5. Worst case howmuch time approximately it takes for getting the accodamation in normal queues ? timing of the queues?
    Thanking you in advance…

    • Dear Shinu,

      1. Infant free entry ( i heard it as Supadam entry) will be eligible for us on 23rd or 24th.? timings?
      2. Infant gets any previlage for accomadation booking? http://gotirupati.com/infant-entry-in-tirumala/
      3. Other State MLA recommendation letter is valid or not? If valid whom to address it? – Valid, http://gotirupati.com/tirumala-room-allotment-counters/.
      4. Please tell me the Formalities for the Tonsure? – 23rd Oct is Friday, and it i Dusshera holidays so crowd will be little high, It would be nice if you prefer Paid Tonsure at Rambageecha Guest House rather than KalyanaKatta. Rambageecha is 5 mins walk from main temple. There is not formalities as such for tonsure.
      5. Worst case how much time approximately it takes for getting the accodamation in normal queues ? timing of the queues? If it is normal queue, it takes 3 – 4 hours for allotment.
      Instead of trying for Rooms in Tirumala, it would be nice to check for accommodation in Tirupati at Srinivasam Complex (Opp Bus station) or at Vishnu Nivasam ( Near Railway Station).

      Please let me know if you need more info.

      Thanks,

      • Thanks a lot for your responses.

        6. Is there any specific format for the Recommendation Letter (by MLA) and to whom it should be addressed.
        7. May I know how can I extend my stay to extra one day if required (I ll be coming with a recommendation Letter).
        8. Supadam Entry or Recommendation letter Entry which one is better and takes less time and less crowded?
        9. Is it possible to contact you, in case of any emergency for getting proper information.
        9.

        • Dear Shinu,

          Crowd is going to be High in Tirumala, as PM is visiting Tirumala, they are stopping Sarva Darshan for 6 hours from 12:30 pm – 6:30 pm , 6 hours delay on 22nd Oct is going affect 23rd Oct as well. I really doubt about Recommendation letters at this moment. Please continue with Supadam Darshan, which is best. Please note that it takes little more time than expected.

          Please use facilities at Pilgrims Amenities Centers in Tirumala to get fresh up. PAC-I is beside CRO complex Tirumala, opp Tirumala Bus station.

          Currently, I’m out of station but you can contact on me this page. I will reply even during journey.

  125. Hi Kamal,
    We are visiting tirumala on 26th & 27th Dec and would like to seek your advise on the following.

    1) 300 Rs tickets are easily available online and I am assuming it is better than 50 Rs ticket logically. Are you able to advise darshan time taken and which one would be your recommendation if budget is not a constrain?

    2) Will kalyanotsavam tickets be released on 6th Nov for Darshan on 27th Dec and how easy it is to book online in terms of availability and server crash, etc.

    3) We want to book for family (6 members) room/cottage for 26th &27th Dec. I would like to book online, without knowing the size and number of beds available, not sure on what should I be selecting. What would be your recommendation, I am looking at prize range of Rs 500-2000..

    Best Regards,
    Srinivas

  134. Hello Sir – This website is such an excellent resource. We are group of 6 and arriving on Nov 19th. All eAccomodations for Nov 19th and Nov 20 are full and there is no availability to do advance online booking on ttdseva. Given our group has senior citizens and infant under 1 year, we prefer convenience and not to travel to too many offices for signatures, keys etc upon arrival early morning at 7 AM on Nov 19th. We dont mind spending money (private accommodation instead of subsidised pilgrim accommodation) if it is more convenient. Can you please suggest our best option? Thank you very much.

    • Dear Harika,

    2. Vishnu Nivasam has A/C rooms?

    Regarding online seva booking on 06 nov, kindly let me know how many person tickets can be booked in single login?
    Example Thomala Seva , i need for 5 of my family. Cani book in single login?
    Also can i book oneKalyanostavam in the same login.?
    Kindly guide me

    • Dear Karthe,

      Only two tickets can be booked on a login ID. For members it should 3 login IDs. i.e 2 + 2 + 1.
      You can’t book Kalyanotsavam, only one seva transaction allowed.

      Thanks,

      • Dear Kamal,
        1. For Kalyanotsavam – If i get two tickets for me,wife, mother and father, can I take my grand father (82 years) with me inside the kalayanotsavam? Can he have perumal dharsan? Or need to buy any ticket for him to accompany with us? I remember before they allow relatives to take part in kalyanotsavam.

        2. For NRI quota – Can i take my parents and grand parents via supadham? they are not NRIs.

        • Dear Karthe,

          1) No, you grand father will not be allowed for seva unless he holds the tickets. After Kalyanotsavam, devotees are allowed for Darshan.
          Only unmarried daughter can accompany their parents for Kalyanotsavam.
          2) For senior citizens there is a special entrance, which is near Tirumala Nambi Temple entrance http://gotirupati.com/senior-citizens-darshan-tirumala/

          Please let me know if you need more details.

          Thanks,

    4. Can we request/rent extra beds in this Rs 600 rooms due to senior citizens and infant
    Thank you so much.

    • Sorry for the double post. I thought the previous one didnt go through.

    • Dear Harika,

      1) Room will be allotted randomly, it can be any cottage. It is double bed, 4 person can sleep nicely.
      2) It is Non ac room, it is room in a cottage
      3) For Tirumala rooms it is at C.R.O Office Tirumala, next to Tirumala bus station
      4) Extra beds will not be provided, I will check and let you know if there is any change in procedure.

      Thanks,

      Thanks,

      • Encountered the following error message while trying to book Rs.100/- room (in the month of December). This issue is since evening.
        “Unable to process the request, Please try again”

        • Dear Rajesh,

          It means that booking is full for that date. It takes some time to reflect the availability.

          Thanks,

  152. They have released recently extra acomodation across all types of rooms through ttdonlineseva till Dec 15,2015. When is the next date to release this type of extra acomodation in Tirumal and Tirupathi through TTD online?

  153. Hi Kamal,

  158. Hi,

    In the website ttdsevaonline.com for rooms I see there are different range of costs but the cottages allocated details are not mentioned, in other words, if you see the same list at Tirupati room we get a brief idea where the room will be allocated. So request you to provide the cottage details at Tirumala. Rooms ranging from 50 to 600/- info is more than enough for me. Also is there tosure facility in all the cottages? like we have in few of them
    Thank you.

  159. Dear sir,

    We are reaching Renigunta Airport on 6th december.Is any bus facility available from Airport to tirumala or tirupathi.

    We have darshan tickets (300) is on 7th december 11AM.what time will be in Q line.

    Any availability of accomdation on 6th and 7th december.

    • Dear Sir,

      There is no bus facility from Airport, it is by private cab only. If you reach early, then you look for accommodation at Tirupati Srinivasam complex (opp bus station) or at Vishnu Nivasam (tirupati railway station).

      Even if you start by 9 am from Tirupati , you can report at SMC by 10:30 am easily.

      Please let me know if you need more details.

  160. Dear Kamal,
    1/ In the availability chart for Archana,subrabhatham, thomalai seva are showning now as available till Dec 15.

    2/ for Kalyanotsavam, if I get 1 ticket for myself and my wife, can i take inside my grandfather inside with me to kalyanotsavam
    3/ May i Know what is the other seva liike subrabhatham, thomalai seva etc available on 16 Dec early morning or morning to dharshan perumal?

  161. Kamal – I am unable to view your responses to my old comments (clicking on Older comments doesnt help). Hence i am reposting and asking the same questions –
    1. can 4 people sleep in Rs 600 rooms? Can we rent or request for more beds in Rs 600 rooms owing to infant and senior citizens?
    2. where do we pick up room keys.
    3. Where will the Rs 600 rooms be? can we request that they be together in the same complex?
    Thank you.

    • Dear Harika

      1) Yes, 4 people can easily sleep in a room, it is 2 bed room.
      2) Rooms keys to be collected at the cottagel if you have done the booking online, then you need to approach CRO Office first, where they will allot the cottage and room number
      3) Rs.600 rooms available at many places in Tirumala, MBC, ATC, Rambageecha, Narayanagiri, GNC, SMC and the list goes on…
      I can’t say exactly, where it will be allotted, allotment depends on the cottages availability. It can be any cottage in Tirumala.

      Please let me know if you need more details.

      Thanks,

      • Not able to view old comments. No action on clicking older comments.

          Please let me know if you need more details.

          Thanks,

          • Dear kamal,

            We required to book accommodation at Tirumala not at Tirupaty. as we have reporting time for vishesh pooja is morning 6:00 AM. on 28th DEC 2015, and need to stay one day before that is 27th DEC at Tirumala.
            so please advice me for booking

            Regards,
            Sanjay

          • Dear Sanjay,

            On Arrival booking will definitely take more time as it is Sunday, Rooms will be fully occupied in Tirumala and Tirupati. Please look for private accommodation in Tirupati for a day so that you can visit other temples on Sunday.

            Thanks,

  168. Dear Sir,
    We are coming from CA, USA and arriving on 28th December at 1:30PM. We are trying find accommodation in Tirumala but unfortunately nothing is available online. We are planning to offer hair of our son at kalyanakatta and do darshanam. Are there any arrangements for people like us?

    Thanks,
    Veena

    • Dear Veena,
      NRIs has privilege for Darshan only. Other facilities needs to be pre-booked.

      Hair can offered at Rambageecha Guest House, it is paid service and takes 25 mins max.

      When comes to rooms, it can be availed either using recommendation letter or to be booked at private accommodation in Tirupati.

      Please let me know if you need more details.

      Thanks,

  171. hi

    I am waiting for your reply

    Sanjay

  172. Hi,

    We are not able to view older posts. I already posted for one info, but I am not sure whether it has been answered as I am not able to view older posts even after clixking on it. Please enable it. THANKS!

    • Dear Sir,

      Sure, I will fix that.

      Thanks,

    • Dear Sir,

      Here is the reply for queries.

      1) Rs.500 – It is single room with double cot, so four persons can easily accommodate in this room.
      2) Thomala seva – Devotees are allowed to sit from 1st door, so whoever comes first in the queue will be seated first, near to Moola virat.
      Line will not go that long, Thomalasaeva will have only few devotees and you can clearly watch God at close distance.

      Please let me know if you need more details.
      Thanks,

      • Hi Kamal Sir,

        Thank you for your prompt and excellent answers! Many Thanks for fixing the Older Posts issue also. Now all posts are visible and very useful. I have also installed your Android app. It is also good.

    • Dear Kannan,

      Seva and accommodation are two different things, though you book seva tickek, room should be booked separately.

      Earlier,TTD do have such option, while booking seva ticket, room will be allotted but not now.

      I need to check on 6th jan Rooms quota.
      Thanks,

  178. Hi,

    Thanks.

    • Dear Mohan,

      Thanks,

  183. Dear Kamal Ji,
    Thank you very much for patiently answering everybody’s queries.

    As you say in your earlier posts, for online accommodation bookings too we have to stand in queue at the CRO and then get a room allotted. am i right in understanding so ? well then we are coming to Tirupati on the 6th of January, 2015. We are four people. Me, my wife and my in-laws. we are booking the accommodation online. Me and my wife plan to walk the steps to tirumala. whereas we will arrange for some transport for my in-laws. me and my wife will take approx 3-4 hrs to reach the abode. in the meanwhile my in-laws would have already reached there. being elderly people, they cant run around looking for the allotted rooms and stand in long queues in an unknown place. What best do you suggest for this ? or can i come up along with them in the transport, allot the rooms for them and again then go down and start walking ?

    and one more doubt is that online booking will be under my name. Is it mandatory that i personally should be present at the time of accommodation allotment or will i get a printout of some allotment confirmation which i can handover to my in-laws ?

    Thank you very much for your time and advice

    • Dear Ashwin,

      For internet booking, there is a separate counter at CRO Office. Room allotment will not take much time here. It will be 20 mins max.
      Yes, Room will be allotted to person, on whose name ticket is issued. It is a security concern, so TTD will not allow this.

      Please let me know if you need more details.
      Thanks,

  184. Hi,

    • Dear Vani,

      30th dec – 3rd Dec , crowd will be very high in Tirumala and the same crowd continues on 4th as well. During peak hours, TTD will not release rooms for online booking.

      Please look for private accommodation in Tirupati.
      Thanks,

    • Also,once we book tickets online where should we collect the keys and the room allotment. Can you please provide me the exact address , can any taxi person take me there? what address should i tell him to drive too?

      • Dear Raj,

        For NRI darshan, you don’t need book tickets. Tickets will be issued at Supadam entrance after verifying documents.
        Accommodation should be booked separately. For Taxi person, they can drop you near MBC, from there it takes 5 mins walk to Supadam entrance.

        Thanks,

    • Dear Raj,

      Madhavam Guest House is near to bus station, and you can easily board bus. Vishnu Nivasam is near Railway station, which takes 5 mins by auto rickshaw to reach Bus station.

      NRI is entance , supadam is in Tirumala. It takes 45 mins to reach Tirumala and 15 mins walk from Tirumala Bus station to Supadam entrance.
      Yes, it is allowed, counter is open for 24 hours at all cottages in Tirumala and Tirupati.

      Please let me know if you need more details.

      Thanks,

      • Sir,

        Thank you. I was thinking that the accommodation availability shown at ttdonline for Vishnu Nivasam and madavan is on Tirumala.. how do we book accommodation in Tirumala then. How do we spend a night stay in Tirumala like padmavathi guest house etc., Please advice

        Thx
        Raj

      • Sir,

        Thanks you for the clarification. I was in the assumption that Vishnun nivasam and madavn guest houses are on Tirumala, so if I understand correct the eaccomodations shown at ttdonline is for tirupati only not on Tirumala. please correct me here. Any way how do we book accommodation for a night stay at Tirumala like padmavathi guest house etc.,

        Thx
        Raj

        • Dear Raj,

          eaccommodation is for both Tirumala and Tirupati. If accommodation is in Tirumala, you will not have guest house name.

          Srinivasam, Madhavam Guest House and Vishnu Nivasam are in Tirupati.

          When comes to Padmavathi Guest House in Tirumala, Rooms here will be allotted to Pilgrims On Arrival, which is subjected to availability.

          It is advisable to look for private accommodation in Tirupati.

          Thanks,

      • SIR,

        were do we book Rs/-2,000/1,500 accommodation in Tirumala? I cant find any available for December 2nd? Also which A/C accommodation would be near NRI entrance? Please let me know the other alternatives to secure accommodation at tirumala

        Thx
        Raj

        • Dear Raj,

          2nd Dec is weekday so crowd will be minimal. Rooms will be allotted On Arrival at Padmavathi Guest House. I guess, you will not much wait time here.

  197. Hey Kamal,

    I was able to book Kalyanotsavam for 18th Dec via TTD online service but I’m not able to get the accommodation for 17th Dec. It says “Quote not released”. Looking at some of the posts, you said it might not be released because of high turnover of pilgrims in December. is there another way to get room accomodation for 17th Dec?. Some of the post suggest for NRI’s there are some options for Save but I’ve not heard any options for room bookings. I’m a British citizen from Indian origin.

    Also I got 4 months old baby and 5 years old son,I hope they’ll allow them to perform the Kalyanotsayam pooja along with my wife.

    I’m visiting India after 10 years to get the blessings of lord Venkateshware for my family, any information in this regard will be very much appreciated.

    Many Thanks,
    Prasad

    • Dear Sir,

      Yes, NRIs do have special entry thru Supadam for Darshan. You can look for private accommodation in Tirupati, It takes 40 mins from Tirupati to Tirumala by Road.

      Please let me know if you need more details.

      Thanks,

    We have booked railway tickets to come tirupati on 17th January, 2016 and planning to come to tirumala on 18th night to perform kalyanotsavam on 19th January, 2016.

    Now my query is we are 4 members family coming to god darshan, we can book only one room so can we 4 members can stay in that room only and upto when we can stay in that room, as per website it says the accommodation will be available up to 24 hours from allotment, so the timing will be depends upon checkin time or in what way.

    and in website it is showing different rates for rooms starting from Rs. 50, what is the different between Rs. 50 Room and Rs. 100 Rooms.

    Kinldy, help me with this query.

    Thank you in advance.

    • Dear Sir,

      Yes, one is room is enough. Try to look for Rs.500 rooms if possible. Rs.50 and Rs.100 rooms differs in the number of beds provided.
      Rs.100 is two bed cot in a single room. Rs.50 is single bed cot in a single room.

      Rs.500 room and above are kind of deluxe suites.

      Thanks,

  231. Hi Kamal i booked rs500 room , actually i am single person going to tirumala, in receipt i have for single persons room is not given,if real what to do, where should single persons stay in tirumala

      It is right, that room will not be allotted for single occupancy due to security reasons. So only TTD laid this rule. Single person can be stayed at Pilgrims Amenities Centers. I can understand the problem but this is a strict rule by TTD.

      Thanks,

Instead of looking for rooms at CRO office, please reach Sri Padmavathi Guest House in Tirumala for room allotment. Rooms here at SPGH is bit costly.

      Darshan timings will be 5 hours. I will only the exact darshan timings by 22nd evening, as darshan timings depends on the crowd.

    In this regard I was planning to book the accommodation online (URL : http://www.ttdsevaonline.com) of rent rs 1500/2000 rent. But as per norms of TTD, one registered user can book only one accommodation/room. As per my requirement I will need to book 2 rooms. Do I need to create 2 registered user credentials/profile for the same?

    Also, I was looking to book rooms in Padmavathi Guest House. Is it possible to choose the guest house while boooking the accommodation online? If not, can you please tell me which guest house has rooms with rent as Rs 1500/2000?

    Thanks and Regards,

      • Hello Kamal,

        Thanks for your prompt response.

        Since I will be making two bookings (1 booking per login/credentials) of same category (for e.g. Rs 2000/- rent) is there a chance that i will be getting rooms in different guest houses (as the guest houses name is not mentioned over the online ticket and we need to report at CRO on arrival to Tirumala)? Could you pls tell what all guest houses have Rs 2000/- rent rooms?

        Thanks and Regards,
        Anshudeep

        • Dear Anshudeep,

          Usually room will be allotted in the same Guest House. Staff will consider our request while allotting room, so it will not be a problem.

          Thanks,

  236. Dear kamal.
    We are six members + plus one child less than 1 year planned to travel on 23 Dec. Can we get accommodation on arrival since it is being a weekend as well as next 2 days are ekadesi.
    Pls suggest whether it is advisable to go ahead with travel

    • Dear Sathya,

      Acccommodation On Arrival will be tough, if room is not booked in advance either in Tirupati or Tirumala then it will be not easy thing to manage in Tirumala that too with kids.

      Infant (less than one year) and Infant’s parents can have darshan thru Supadam. http://gotirupati.com/infant-entry-in-tirumala/
      For the remaining they need Rs.300 tickets for darshan. Tickets are available for booking at http://www.ttdsevaonline. com.

      If you can look for private accommodation in Tirupati then it can be managed.

      Thanks,

  237. I will be reaching Tirupati at 10 pm on 21st Dec’15. Will i reach at Tirumala the same night?
    Also, I have tried my best to take Rs 300 tickets online on 16th Dec’15, but failed to get the tickets as the site was heavily loaded. Now how can I darshan on 22nd dec’15. I am coming there with two kids and my wife?

  247. Hi Sir ,

    We are visiting tirumala on Jan 24th and 254th . We are totally 10 people visiting tirumala on that two days. We got VIP letter for L1 break darshanam from one of the politician here in Telangana. As we are 10 people and one letter holds only 5 names for VIP darshan, we have collected 2 letters of 5 members each per letter from the same MP of telangana.

    Someone told me that , rule at tirumala is they will accept one letter per MLA/MP for a given day.

    But in my case , since we are 10 people , we collected two letters from MP for VIP L1 darshan for date 25th January 2016

    Can you please clarify whether two letters are considered for VIP L1 darshan (or) it is only one letter from MP/MLA for any given day

    Regards,
    Pradeep

      Yes, it is true, only one letter for the day will be accepted . 5 members request will be considered. For another 5 members try to get letter from different politician

            Basically the Employees at Tirumala were not helpful at all.. Very Very Rude even on weekdays.. Hence we were force the manage the situation all by ourselves..
            We had options/back up plans and hence could manage. What about people from low income group!!

  373. Hello Sir,
    We plan to go tirumala on March17, but the rooms are all booked.
    Can we get a accomodation on Padmavathi Guest house? we are a family of 8 people.
    Can you suggest any room? does the suite contains many rooms in it?
    What is the cost.

    • Dear Sir,

      I doubt about Tirumala, rooms may be available at Srinivasam Complex / Madhavam Guest House (Opp. Tiupati Bus station) and Vishnu Nivasam (Opp. Tirupati Railway station). For 8 people you would need 2 rooms.

      If it is Tue or Wed, rooms at Sri Padmavathi Guest House will be easily available

      Thanks,

      • Hello Sir, how about March 17. It is Thursday, how much possibile to get a room in Padmavathi Guest House.

        • Dear Sir,

          It is Sunday so crowd will be high in Tirumala and Tirupati. Rooms at TTD Cottages may not be available, it is advisable to look for private accommodation in Tirupati

  383. Hi Kamal,

    Thanks for providing so much information for the benefit of pilgrims. Its really a great service. I have a query;

    1.We are a family of 5 including my father(67), mother(59+, turning 60 this August). We got only one 500Rs room on April 6th(Wed) at Tirumala. What cottages are generally allotted for Rs.500 ?

    2. I was able to get Suprabhatam Seva tickets for only my parents on 8th April, how do i get 1 day accommodation extension? Is it always guaranteed? Do we have to inform someone before. I dont like greasing the palms, would rather book Rs.50 room for 7th-8th. Please advise.

    3. My mom will turn 60 in August’16, she has knee pains. Can she avail senior citizen darshan along her daughter-in-law??

    4. Can i send my 6 year old kid along with my parents on sr citizen darshan?

    5. Today morning suprabhatam tickets were finished within 25 mins. But when i opened in the afternoon around 2.30pm, i could see vacancies and immediately booked the tickets for my parents. I couldnt do that for myself. Why is this happening? Are someone fiddling with the quota?

    6. What is the probability of getting suprabhatam tickets by lucky dip scheme….

    Sorry for the trouble.

    S Sudheer
    Hyderabad

    • Dear Sudheer,

      1. Kausthubham, Rambagicha, Nandakam. It will be decent enough.
      2. Yes, please go ahead and book room. If crowd is little high, then TTD is not allowing extension. If it is minimal then they are providing 1 day extension
      3. Yes, she can avail senior citizen darshan. http://gotirupati.com/patients-tirupati-darshan/
      4. Kids are not allowed with seniors for darshan
      5. It is simple, When someone selects the tickets, it will be locked in the database, which will be released 30 mins if it is not successful. It happens time to time.
      6. Try your luck for Archana, Thomala seva. They are best sevas. I will let you know the lucky dip quota by 1st Apr.

      Thanks,

  384. dear sir,

    I have few questions listed out below. We are total 18 people coming to attend Kalyanotsavam seva on April 3rd, 2016. I have booked kalynotsavam for 8 couples (16 members) and 2 minor age family members coming along with us.
    * We cannot leave those 2 members alone. Can we take them along with us while going for kalyanotsavam ? Do I need to book special dharshan tickets for them separately ?
    * We need accomodation to stay at Tirumala which is preferable since many old age senior members are coming with us. But I see all rooms booked on april2 at tirumala. I would like to know can we come and book rooms at tirumala if we come directly without booking now. ? Any private guest houses available at Tirumala ?
    * I see there are rooms available at Tirupati Madhavam guest house cose of Rs.1000. How many rooms we have to book for total 18 members accomodation if there is no option of getting rooms in tirumala ?

    Thanks in advance,
    Senthil M

If yes, can you please tell me in short the needful like what names/ selections I have to do on website while booking. Can we book the cottage for 2 days using different IDs?

    Appreciate your help.

    Thanks,
    Sayli

    • Dear Sir,

      Yes, you need to book a room at ttdsevaonline website only.

      While booking room, only one person name is required. It will not ask for all other person details.
      Using 2 login IDs (different person name) you can book room.
      For 7 members, it is advisable to book 2 rooms. 5 members can easily accommodate in one room. if all 7 are adults, then 2 rooms will be good.

      That means you need to have 4 login IDs to book 2 rooms for 2 days.

          Even supadam will be crowded as it is summer vacation time.

          Sunday Supadam may go up to 3 hours. If it is Rs.300 darshan waiting time will be 1 hour 50 mins max. Tickets should be booked online at ttdsevaonline website

Reporting time for accommodation Confirmation is 00-12 hrs. My question is that, is there any facility to report at the beginning stage for accommodation.

      • Dear Sir,

        Seva and accommodation are two independent activities. Rooms to be booked separately. If you are successful with Seva ticket booking, try to find room in Tirupati. Rooms at Tirupati will be available for most of the days.

    I am an NRI and planning to visit Tirumala in Mid July. Could you please suggest the Category of Rooms(rs 2000 or rs 1000 etc) where it is quite near to the Temple. Reason is because we want it to the temple and do not want it isolated where Car or external help is required.

    Also I am planning to use the Walking route from Alipiri. I am planning to come to TPT through a train which arrives at 4:30 AM. Is there any mandatory policy to bath before starting the climb ?

    Thanks

    • Dear Gowtam,

      Rs.800, Rs.1000 will be good and near to temple.
      Here is the procedure
      1. Wash your feet and hands at Kapila Theertham in Tirupati
      2. Then takes steps to Tirumala
      3. After reaching Tirumala, Check-in at Room and taking bath.
      4. Visit Srivari Pushkarini and wash your feet and hands
      5. Then visit Adi Varaha Swamy Temple
      6. Now you are good to go for Darshan
      Thanks,
