    • Dear Ashish Nandy,

      Please find the reply below

      1. How long does it take from Chennai to Tirupati by car on a Saturday? I’ve been getting conflicting information from the web and so would be nice to know from someone who has recently travelled. – There are 4 routes from Chennai to Tirupati, shortest and Best Route is via Porur ->Tiruvallur -> Tiruttani -> Nagari ->Puttur ->Chennai . It takes around 3 hours max to reach Tirupati.
      2. How long does it take to and from Tirumal & Tirupati? – From Tirupati Bus Stand To Tirumala 45 mins (max)
      3. What are the timimgs and requirement for NRI queu? are there any tickets to purchase and if so can it be done in advance? Where can it be done? – For NRIs thru Supadam, it is 12 pm – 5 pm. NRI devotees will be allowed in batched thru Supadam.
      4. On average and especially on Saturdays how long would it take in the que before Darshan of the Lord can be done? – Usually Crowd will be high on Weekends, Even if it is thru crowd will be high, During Weekends it is best choice. It would be good idea to go for Arjitha Sevas Like Kalyanotsavam, Unjal Seva so that you will not have much crowd for Seva Tickets.
      Today is Saturday, and it is 17 hour for Sarva Darshan ( Free Darshan) and 12 Hours for Divya Darshan ( Pedestrians how reach Tirumala by walk).
      Even Thru Supadam it will take 5-6 hours as said earlier, it will batches.

      Please let me know if further information required.

      Thanks,

    temples in around in thirupathi with the same permit for vehicle or any other pass or any document will
    required for that?
    2)We have got letter from MP in kerala for darshan and accomodation from 28-08-2015 to 29.08.2015 .
    Wat are the procedures to be followed with that letter further and wat are possible darshan we can have with

    3)Apart from entry fee to thirumala and parking charges at thirumala,thiruchanur and other temples in around is

    • Dear Sivaram,

      1) We will start from coimbatore to thirupathi on aug 27th afternoon .we are hiring 13 seater traveller for
      rental.
      Now my doubt is we will take interstate permit for traveller to thirumala however will be allowed to visit other
      temples in around in thirupathi with the same permit for vehicle or any other pass or any document will
      required for that? – Visiting Temples doesn’t need any permit, you can park anywhere, it is free parking at Tirumala. Only Buses is not allowed to Tirumala, other vehicles are allowed. As it is 13 seater, expecting that it is Tempo Traveller.
      2)We have got letter from MP in kerala for darshan and accomodation from 28-08-2015 to 29.08.2015 .
      Wat are the procedures to be followed with that letter further and wat are possible darshan we can have with
      letter mentioned dates above? – After reaching Tirumala, please submit the letter at CRO Office (Opp Tirumala Bus station) to get the accommodation. Please book tickets at ttdsevaonline.com if possible so that you can plan Darshan. As it is weekend, you can get Darshan using MP Letter. VIP Break Darshan is not available on Saturday and Sunday so even with letter you can’t have Darshan.
      3)Apart from entry fee to thirumala and parking charges at thirumala,thiruchanur and other temples in around is
      there any other document need for private hired vehicle? – Documents not required while parking. It is only parking fees.

      Please let me know if further clarification required.

      Thanks,

      • Hi,

        Many Thanks for your reply.

        Having the same MP Recommendation letter is it possible to get VIP BREAK FRE DARSHAN ON MONDAY and Kalayanutsavam on saturday or sunday ?

        • Dear Sivaram,

          Yes, you can have VIP Break Darshan. It would be nice if you plan VIP Break Darshan for Tuesday and submit Letter on Monday so that you can have Darshan with less crowd.

          Usually VVIP’s crowd will be high over the weekends so most the recommendation letters from outside state will not be considered.

          Best day for Recommendation letter is Tue-Wed-Thu-Fri.

          Thanks,

Is this all possible in One day. I do not have any contacts for VIP pass etc so will buy special Darshan tkts at Tirupati.

    Are Pvt Taxis and Hotels available easily at Tirupati without any prior bookings?

    Thank you for your help.

      Please check for e-special entry Darshan tickets or e-Sudarasanam tickets if available at http://www.ttdsevaonline.com. if available , go ahead book the tickets so that you can plan your trip easily.
      When comes to accommodation, if you are reaching Tirupati on 30th sep, you can get accommodation easily at Srinivasam Complex ( Opp Tirupati Bus Station ) or at Vishnu Nivasam(walk able from Railway station). As it is mid of the week, rooms will be readily available at TTD cottages.

    • Dear Usha,

      1. For Physically challenged persons, there is a special entry http://gotirupati.com/physically-challenged-darshan-in-tirumala/
      Your mother can special entry darshan which is free of cost, I need to check on the process in allowing assistant.
      2. Yes, Hair offering to be done before Darshan. Please drive to Rambageecha Guest house, which is near to main temple. It is paid service, which hardly takes 25 mins max.
      3. I would suggest to stay in Tirupati, Why because Kalahasthi To Chennai Route, pass thru villages so It is not preferable. Tirupati To chennai Route is best . And best route is Chennai -> Porur -> Tiruvallur -> Tiruttani -> Nagari -> Puttur -> Tirupati. This lane is newly built and is good for travel.

      It is good to reach Tirupati directly rather than Chennai.

      If you could let me know the number of persons travelling and their ages, then I can let you know the possible options.

      Thanks,

    • Dear Sir,

      Yes, TTD free connects Tirupati Railway station, Vishnu Nivasam , Tirupati Bus station, Srinivasam complex -> Alipiri -> Srivari Mettu.

      Tirupati Bus station is 0.5 km from Vishnu Nivasam, For Kalahasti, you need to board bus from Tirupati Bus station only.

      Tirupati to Tirumala will not be more than 500 I guess, which is one way.
