Temple Darshan, Pooja and Sevas Information Infoirmation Website Why we should walk barefoot to Tirumala Tirupati by Steps path
Footpath to Tirumala is the royal road to Salvation. Alipiri Mettu and SriVari Mettu is the holiest path trodden by great saints like Sri Ramanujacharya, Great Poet Sri Annamayya. Hence it is meritorious to climb the Holy Seven Hills without footwear.
Lord Sri Venkateswara, he himself climbed Hills from SriVari Mettu after marriage from Srinivasa Mangapuram.
Many had this in mind that SriVari Mettu Path is called as Apradakshinam, whereas Alipiri Mettu is Pradakshinam, but Sri Venkateswara along with Goddess Padmavathi Climbed Hills from Srinivasa Mangapuram SriVari Mettu Path. Srivari Mettu path later developed during the period of the Vijayanagar Empire.
Each Hill in Tirumala got its prominence, It is divine atmosphere at Tirumala Hills. For more information on Seven Hills read About Tirumala Hills under History Section in Homepage.
Alipiri Mettu open for 24 hours and devotees can reach Tirumala even at nights. The devotees can deposit luggage before taking steps path and collect after reaching Tirumala. Free Divya Darshan tickets will be issued along the path. It is 14000 tickets per day at Alipiri mettu.
Srivari Mettu open from 6 am to 4 pm.
It usually takes, 3 hours to 3 hours 30 mins by Alilpiri Mettu path and 2 hours to 2 hours 30 mins by Srivari Metttu path.

Sir ,
wanted to know at what time should can we start climbing at sri vari mettu in the mornings. I am visiting on 26th march. How will I know if the divya darshinam will be closed or not? As it is a long weekend? And 300rs tickets are all booked.
Dear Madam,
Srivari Mettu will be available from 6 am – 6 pm. TTD usually released notice if Divya Darshan Tokens will be closed . As of now there is no such communication.
Srivari Mettu path will always be opened irrespective of Divya Darshan Tokens. So you can plan your walk thru this path
Thanks,

I am unaware about the temple visiting places and rituals being carried out at the temple.. Should start bare feet from outside the temple ? Also let me please tell me what are the compulsory things to be done and things which are not allowed in the temple or during the visit?
Dear Sir,
Here is the Darshan order to be followed for perfect Tirumala Trip
1) Bath at Kapila Theertham (Tirupati), If not possible at least sprinkle water from Pushkarini on your Head
2) Then start to Tirumala, After reaching Tirumala, Go to Swamy Pushkarini , take bath here or at least sprinkle on your Head from Pushkarini.
3) Then Aadhi Varaha Swamy Darshan which is at the banks of Swamy Pushkarini
4) Lord Venkateswara Swamy Darshan
5) Sri Padmavathi Amma Varu Temple Tiruchanoor
