It took us around 18-20hrs to get inside but i would say, it was totally worth it. The karisma of lord venkateshwara is so mesmerizing. I was totally stoned for a few seconds. Also the way for the temple offers a great view of the city from the top. It looks best after dark. Highly recommended place. Everyone must go at least for once.

Srinivasa Govinda, Shri Venkatesha Govinda. Blessed with the Darshan this time it's huge queue. I visited earlier also pre COVID but now the rush is too much. It's really tough to book the sheegra darshan tickets.

One of the achievement in my life to footstep-3550 step in tirupathi. Is one of the shining your mind and body. Deep insight of your strength💪. Deep focus and achieve your goals. So dedicated your work. So many things are how to face and get excited

Om Namo Shri Venkateswara Namah This is temple really Devine and feel inner peace. Don't wear shoes , chappal surrounding temple environment or in tirumala area because all tirumala hill is complete body part of God Venkateswara. Before going to Venkateswara Swamy temple must go to alipri temple and Varah Swamy temple and Devi Padmawati Temple. Free ticket is also avaialble and which start early morning ....make sure Friday, Saturday and Sunday free ticket counter will start early at 3.00 AM. Without ticket as well as Darshan of God Venkateswara Swamy they will not give you Prasad. But if you want paid Laddu then you will get at Rs. 50

A very peaceful and spiritual place. Situated between the mountains very beautiful place to visit with your family. And to connect your soul with God. Climate of Tirumala is awesome like movies. But only thing which is not good is that you have to spent lots of time in line for Lord venktesha Darsham. Very good place to visit

Always super. Only thing is management need to have proper planning. Some times it's taking more than 10hrs to complete Darshan. Meanwhile there will be small kids or old age people who need proper food at proper time. Accordingly some arrangements should be there. Earlier it used to be provided in the waiting halls. Now no one is concerned.

A beautiful place, must visit for anyone. This place doesn't need any introduction to it's greatness factor. Booking tickets in advance is highly suggested because as soon as tickets are issued for this place for darshan, they all are booked immediately. Stay and tickets should be decided beforehand for a good travel.

Try to book in advance for darshan as well as journey tickets. If you have a token, then the average time to get the darshan is around 3-6 hours. And if you are visiting without tokens into free / sarv darshan line then the time for darshan can be around 10 to 24 hours Food, water, toilets everything is there for free. Don't get trapped for the jeeps and tourist vehicles. They have free bus service at tirumala. And even for the tourism their charges are minimal.

They have maintained the place very well that you would like to visit here again and again.. the spirit u will get here is so high. . . Pls take 300 rs ticket and go there otherwise free ticket the que will be very high. . . Visit on working days for lesser crowd and occasional days u will find a hectic crowd. Even if you go at noon occasional days also you will reach the temple after 3 hours only.

One of the best well maintained temple I have ever visited. The way they respected all the people who visited the temple is amazing. Not even in single place they scolded or treated people unequally and the maintenance of the surroundings and bathroom is mind blowing . The Annadhanam they provided was the best. One should visit this temple at-least once in a lifetime. and please avoid giving biscuits and buns to wild animals. They are not meant to eat those junk items

Crowded and once in a lifetime experience. Too much walking in queues which was like never ending. We got free tokens and waited almost 6-7 hours walking almost 8-9 kms inside in queue. The crowd was not controlled properly and too much pushing were involved 😢 Best to prebook online and visit pre planned to escape delays. The end result of finally entering the temple and seeing the deity was awesome🙏

This shrine holds great significance for Hindus, offering unparalleled peace and joy during Lord Venkateshwara Darshans. Due to its popularity, it can get very crowded, so here are some useful tips for visitors: 1. Ensure to book Darshan tickets in advance through the official website. 2.There are various types of Darshans available, so choose according to your beliefs and budget. Remember, the amount paid is considered a donation utilized by TTD for good causes. 3.Weekdays typically have fewer crowds compared to weekends. 4.You can either walk up to the temple from Allipiri or rear side of the hill called Sri Vari Mettalu (this time it took us 1 hr 20 minutes by walk) or use transportation. Kindly note: post recent incident, kids below 12 years are not allowed to climb the hill between 2 pm to next day 5 am. We visit this place approximately once every 3-4 months and always return with renewed enthusiasm. Since decades TTD consistently excels in building, improving, and maintaining this sacred site. We see the changes and better facilities for pilgrims.

Heavy Crowd on weekends. During the day the floor is extremely hot, long wait queues but darshan is just love. If you go there inside the temple in front of Balaji you will get to feel that someone is there.....for all in small seconds you will feel calm and at peace for sure. Dress code: (for gents) kurta,pyjama or Dhoti with preferred plain shirt or kurta (For ladies)Saree, churidar, kurta/pyjama Dress code is strict and do so then you will feel the culture also.

No words to describe the peace you get when you entered into tirumala. OM NAMO VENKATESAYA highly recommended to buy Darshan and accommodation tickets min 3 months earlier

I have visited temple yesterday. Very pleasant and blessed . Less crowded this time , I used to visit Tirumala two months once . Best time to visit during bramosthavalu ( huge crowd will be there ) but we can see so many programs also visit during vaikunta ekadashi so we can get to see venkateswara swamy very near . Sharing my journey ……! We came to Tirumala through srivari mettu so we took Divya Darshan token at 50th step . We took room near CRO office and got fresh up and heading towards Darshan , entered around 1:45 to Q line and reached to Vaikuntam complex by 2:45 and waited for almost 5 hours , later they opened gate and Darshan completed within 1 hr , seen Venkateswara swamy for 30 secs , so blessed . We took laddus from laddu counter , 1 laddu free for Divya Darshan token holders , if you need extra laddu it will cost 50 RS per laddu. We heading toward vengamamba anna prasadam centre and ate food there and return back to room and rook rest. Morning return back to home. Can reach Tirumala 4 options by own vehicle or bus , can walk through srivari mettu (very short and token will get near 50th step but we need to reach this by 6AM , can reach to entrance by own vehicle or rented vehicle)or alipiri mettu (best experience you will get but risky also for aged persons and leg pain people , Divya Darshan token we need to get bhudevi complex , so need to Reach that place midnight only , so they will start giving tokens by 5:30 ) , if bus or own vehicle (need to get SSD tokens near bus stand , railway station …etc or else we can book 300 ticket prior month ) . Suggest to not come directly for Darshan , not sure how much time will take to complete . Also take 300 ticket or ssd or Divya Darshan.

I just love the road it’s so beautiful, lush green mountains. Place is crowded with too many small shops, making it too difficult for walking close to the temple. It took 5hrs for Darshanam for Rs.300 special Darshanam. Volunteers are too rude inside the temple sanctum, male volunteers should know how to behave with women devotees, they push inappropriately they make it so uncomfortable. I would request the temple authorities to give them proper guidance and introduction on how to handle the crowd specifically with the women devotees.

Huge temple of Lord Shri Venkateshwara on the hills of Tirumala, its a bliss to be visiting this place and taking darshan and blessings of the mighty god. One of the temple with buge crowd of desciples, you need prior darshan booking from temple authorities. A form of Vishnu, who is believed to have appeared on the earth to save mankind from trials and troubles of Kali Yuga. A must visit place in India to realise the power of lord Venkateshwara (reincarnation of Lord Vishnu). Beautiful place.

It's saying that you should visit padmavati temple after tirupathi darshan to complete the trip. There is 100rs. Ticket and free darshan ticket available but I'll prefer 100rs. Darshan as it's quicker and saves time to explore more. There are lockers available outside the temple for 20rs per 3 hrs.

Tiruchanoor, is one of the oldest pilgrim towns located 5km away from Tirupati, is abode of Goddess Sri Padmavathi Devi, the beloved consort of Lord Venkateswara. This pilgrim centre is popularly known as “Alarmelmangapuram” (Alar-Lotus, Mel-top, Manga-Goddess, Puram-town) or Alimelumangapuram. According to temple legend as Goddess Mahalakshmi emerged on the golden lotus as Padmavathi Devi located at the centre of Padmasarovaram-the temple tank, this place became famous by the name “Alarmelmangapuram”. There is a strong belief among the pilgrims that they should pave visit to Padmavathi and seek Her divine blessings before they visit Lord Venkateswara as Tirumala during their pilgrimage.

Crowded place. But in the evening and early morning it's less crowded. Special dharsan ticket can be bought inside the temple. Doesn't matter special dharsan or normal darshan, all the queues are combined in the end and at actual dharshan you will only get 2 seconds to see and worship God. Phones and cameras are not allowed. There is a cloak room in only gate no 3. Shoes and accessories can be kept there. Free service only. There is a scanner before entering to temple. If suppose you have any accessories in your bag then it's far to go from scanner to cloak room. There is no water in the theertham. Anna dhaanam will be given to everyone inside the temple. Drinking water is available inside the temple. There are shops outside. Good for shopping bangles, small statues, kumkum specially handcrafted bead chains.

Usually crowded and takes Half to 1 hour for darshan but can cross 1 hr depending on crowd. Mobile phones not allowed. Car parking cost 70rs.

📍Darshan update - May 8th2022📍 Oru nalla Dharisanam 🙏 Sri Alamelu Mangamma (Sri Padmavati Ammavari) Temple on 🙏 We reached from tirupati to Alamelu Mangapuram via normal ASTRC bus (Private buses also there 20rs per head) it took around 15 to 20 Mins. We need to keep our Belongings, Cheppels and Mobile phones before enter to the temple. Near to temple private storage option available also inside temple entrance free storage room available. Two entry Dharsan were available General (Free) and Special (200rs per head). General Dharsan will take around 1 hour in log queue. Spacial Dharsan before 30 mins we can enter after the Entrance security check. After the Dharsan we need to go for another queue to get Theertham and Prashadham. Another Laddu prasadh we will get it for 10 rs only one per head. We need to get token inside and from exit gate we can get the Laddu. This temple Laddu taste is different from the TTD Laddu. From Exit gate you will find the many shops for purchase. We can't directly go to Sri KalaHasti temple from Alamelu Mangamma temple. We have to again reach Tirupati and then go to Sri KalaHasti. Because there is some brige work is going on. Over all it's good dharsan and Temple is crowded during weekends.

Wonderful experience. Visiting after 17 years, many things changed. Waited for about 1 HR in the hall, rest took 30 mins to complete the visit. Tip: when entering the temple after dwajha sthambam, keep to the extreme right until you get inside the temple. There are 3 rows created, one needs to keep in the extreme right row to get the best view of the Venkateshwara.

Very Good administration. Actually I came here for dharsan on Friday after reaching this place only I came to know that every Friday by 9am only darsan will be allowed moreover ticket counter also open by 9am only. If Booked online tickets they are permitted for darsan there is no counter concept till 9am on Fridays. How ever if anyone came unknowingly don't worry nearby Hotel Anandhas veg hotel available Tamil chefs cooking food is good can spend the time there.

Very good place. Nice temple structure and maintenance. Abode of lord Krishna. You can purchase religious books, souvenirs etc here. Must visit.

I visited the temple recently. This temple has baggage and a shoe facility just outside the temple. Some kind of construction is going on during my visit. The temple is well maintained and can be considered to give a visit. I have visited a number of ISKON temples across the city and can say that this temple is totally commercialized. They have a museum for which you need to pay for it. They have a restaurant inside the ISKON premise again for which you need to pay. They have multiple shops inside the temple. I don't support commercialization of temples that is why reducing the rating from 4 to 3.

What a positive vide we get here when we enter the temple inside. Just loved that fact that we could visit it. It’s a very pleasant feeling to visit. Lots of books and other stuffs are available for shopping. Snacks are available for purchase. Tasty Prasad is distributed. All in all a very nice and heart filling visit. A must visit for internal peace

ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) Krishna Temples are located all over the world.🛕🌍🌏🌎🗺️ Although, in almost every important city of India.🇮🇳 there is an ISKCON Temple, ISKCON Temple in Tirupati is especially popular.🛕 Its architecture and location makes it is even more attractive to the devotees.💚😍🤩 I FALL in Love with this Temple.🛕❤️💚 How many distance travelled or how much money u spend for visit this place, each and every rupee is worthy.🛕👍🤩😍🥰 what a temple and what a construction.🤯 when you reach the temple, it's looking like as usual normal temple. But after entering into the main door that is priceless. 😍🤩🥳 what God and Godess. those are really beautifull and colourful.🥰😍 all sides some 3d wooden frame have, what a hand work...😍 The idea for this temple germinated in the year of 1974 – 1975, when his holy Srila Prabhupada visited Tirumala- Tirupati on the request of Andhra Pradesh Government. Impressed with the spiritual atmosphere of the place and after seeing thousands of devotees visiting every day, he saw this Tirupathi as an ideal place to promote the teachings of Bhagwat-Gita and Lord Krishna while in turn creating an environment of amity throughout the world. It in the year of 1982, this idea started taking a physical form while in 1983; a small Brahmachari ashram was established. Located at the foot of Tirumala Hills, in 1984, a small temple was inaugurated with the installation of the idols of Lord Krishna and Goddess Radha. In 2005, this temple was opened to everyone.

The temple is very beautiful. The Ambiance the receiving and the beautiful paintings. The food they are serving. And one of the best sweets they are selling. And the books of lord Krishna . All in one of lord Krishna is in this temple only . We are very glad to visit this temple.

Beautiful place to visit with family and kids. Great devotional atmosphere. If you go visit the museum below the temple, worth going through Sree Krishna life journey.

Please looks good with nice ambiance. Parking is a bit issue rest it is good. While temple will be the theme of blue. Temple is directly on road and can be easily accessible to anyone.

Situated on roadside huge temple with beautiful interior decoration. Shoe rack available outside the temple. There are guest house adjoining to the temple premises however only accessible for life tym paid members. Serene environment inside🙏 Prasad is too costly, one simple pastry costs 70rs.

The temple is built very beautiful and is very peaceful inside and the art work is amazing and the paintings are very beautiful and the god statues are very divine and beautiful and it’s surrounded by garden area you can visit the temple after coming down the tirumala hill its on the way and in the night the temple is lighted with colours which looks beautiful

It is more peaceful than a library in my point of view. This is a place where we can be with a peaceful mind. Lord Krishna is the god available in this place. This place is free of cost. Stalls are also available with healthy food, some contain the goods which are made from gomata(such as shampoo, soap, hair oil, etc). This place also contains a museum with sketches of lord Krishna. It doesn't have any entrance ticket

Very nice temple and interior was awesome , Sweets they are selling in temple are delicious.Prasadham also too good.very nice place to spend some time.

One Of The Best Krishna Temple I have ever visited . It was so beautiful ..the only negative thing inside the temple the photography is not allowed the security guard keeps shouting & he also makes gents & ladies sit separately

The temple is peaceful & beautiful. The guest house needs to be maintained properly. The elevator was not functioning and the flush in my bathroom was functioning.

ISKCON Tirupati is a beautiful temple dedicated to Lord Krishna. located in the holy city of Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh. The temple is part of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) and serves as a spiritual and cultural centre for devotees and visitors seeking to experience the divine love and teachings of Lord Krishna. The temple is located on a hill also known as the Hare Krishna Hill and is built in a neo-classical style with typical South Indian temple Gopurams. There are four gopurams inside the temple which are joined by a glass roof that looks amazing. The temple also has a golden lotus called Padmasarovaram, where Goddess Padmavathi manifested herself according to tradition. The temple offers free entry and has darshan timings from 7:30 am to 8:30 pm daily. The darshan duration is 20 to 30 minutes. The temple also has various sevas and festivals that attract thousands of pilgrims every day. The Brahmotsavam of the Goddess is celebrated at Padmavathi Temple with all pomp and glory to commemorate the auspicious occasion of Her avatara. I would rate ISKCON Tirupati 4.5 out of 5 stars for its architecture, spirituality, and service. It is a must-visit place for anyone who wants to experience the divine grace of Lord Krishna

One of the best iskon temple I have visited. Great place for Krishna devotees . So many book stalls inside the tample and very nice atmosphere.

This was my second visit to ISKCON temple of Tirupati. It is a peaceful, clean and a serene temple. With well maintained garden around. We offered fruits bhog which costs about Rs.100/- available at the main temple entrance. There were total 5 fruits in the thali. A new temple museum is opened at the ground floor where you exit after darshan. Prasadam is given to all devotees at the exit. Few pics are from the museum as well. Probably they also rent the museum hall for events.

Visiting the ISKCON Temple in Tirupati was a profoundly spiritual and uplifting experience. From the moment I entered the temple premises, a sense of serenity enveloped me, creating a sacred atmosphere that transcended the hustle of daily life. The intricate architecture and the peaceful surroundings offered a tranquil escape. Partaking in the prasad added a divine touch to the visit. The sanctified offerings bestowed a sense of connection to the spiritual roots of the temple. Each bite of the prasad, coupled with the knowledge of its sacred significance, became a symbolic communion with the divine. The variety of snacks available, such as samosas, infused the visit with a delightful culinary experience. The flavors were rich and authentic, reflecting the cultural essence of the temple. Additionally, savoring coconut water and sugarcane juice provided a refreshing respite, especially in the temple's serene ambiance. The temple staff's warmth and hospitality enhanced the overall experience, making me feel not just like a visitor but a welcomed pilgrim. The spiritual vibrations resonated throughout, leaving me with a sense of profound peace and blessings. In conclusion, my visit to the ISKCON Temple in Tirupati was not merely a sightseeing endeavor but a soul-nourishing journey. The combination of spiritual immersion, delicious prasad, and warm hospitality made it a memorable and blessed experience—one that I will carry with me, feeling enriched and spiritually rejuvenated.

Best Iskcon I have ever seen We get peace will Looking at Lord Krishna and everyone should visit in the evening with the lights decoration it adds more beauty to this temple and the laddu Prasad is very taste and bigger in size than normal prasad And After 1 hr temple will stop dharshnam due to bhogham to lord Krishna this temple also add when u visit to tirupati

This is a very historic museum. There is a large collection of information about the Hindu religion, primarily about the temple of South Indian, the ancient ruins of the temple, the collection of architectural information, history, old paintings etc. All items are kept very well. I am very impressed with this collection. All Devotees should give time for this museum.

This museum is located right next to Govinda Raja Swamy Temple. Open timings are 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The museum is mostly about art and architecture of temples and idols. We often don't realize but everything that is related to constructing a temple has a specific study around it. Site selection, Architecture Style selection, Gopuram selection, Stone selection, Posture selection, Carving, etc. This museum does its best in covering those aspects. There is explanation for each and everything displayed here in both English and Telugu languages. All the above was covered in one of the sections inside the museum. In one of the mandapams, they have the entire story of Srinivasa Kalyanam done via Dolls. It was very good. They call is the Kids Gallery. Both kids and parents will like the artwork. Finally, in the last section, they had details about some of the great Vishnu Devotees and Saints. Also covered in this section were about Music and Dance. There was also one sub-section about a Vishnu Devotee Lifestyle and how they organizes their day. Entry to this informative museum was totally Free.

(Visited in 'Jan 2022) - Sri Venkateswara Museum on Temple Art, Tirupati, located next to Sri Govindarajaswamy Perumal temple is a treasure trove of temple art - a place which I loved and was lost at! In various exhibits related to Sculpture, Aagamana Sastras, Art etc, painstaking and hitherto unknown details were explained brilliantly! Spent at least an hour here. There's no fee charge to visit this. There's a separate temple on the premises dedicated to Nammalzvar. ❤️

Beautifully decorated and well maintained place at lap of hill station. This place is also have a Falls and the deity is Lord Kapileshwar.

This Temple is present at the foothills of Tirumala.. At the entrance, you could see a hanuman Temple.. After praying there, when you come out, you could see "Kalyana katta " (place where the devotees offer their hair as a sort of their prayers).. Then comes the Alwar temple (Ramanujacharya).. Then you could visit venugopalaswamy sannithi, Ramar sannithi, and then you could see the entrance of Kapileswarar temple.. Kapila theertham is a small waterfalls present in this Temple.. We could see many devotees taking a holy dip... Excellent place to worship..

It's good to visit in rainy season now summer so less water in hill flow. To see Kapila Swamy Darshan before Bathing here.

A must visit place with nice atmosphere. Temples and idols are graved in such a way that we'll surely get a nostalgic feeling. I had visited two times in this year. In March, the waterfall was less and we're not allowed to take a bath. But I visited two days ago, people made the place a huge mess. Lot of bad smell from the water and the surroundings. Unable to take a peaceful dip in the water. Such a ridiculous and shameful behaviour. People leaving their clothes everywhere on the banks of the pond. Please make some strict rules and prohibit people from these type of activities.

There is a beautiful waterfalls and Lord shiva temple in this place. Lord Shiva here referred as Kapileswara swamy. The water from waterfalls falls directly into theertam and we can take bath in this pushkarini. When we visited last time we are not allowed to the place where waterfalls are falling but we can take bath in this theertam (pushkarini).

This is a famous shiva temple which is located at foothills of tirumala (sheshachalam) hills. The presiding deity here is kapileshwara ( Lord Shiva). A waterfall called Kapila theertham can be seen when we enter this temple. People are allowed to bath in this waterfall when water falling down from waterfall is less. Few pilgrims take bath in waterfall or pushkarni ( Temple pond) before entering temple. Though mobiles are allowed inside this temple, photography and videography is not allowed inside this temple. This temple is located about 3 - 5 kms from Tirupati railway station/ bus stand. One can reach this temple by hiring auto from bus stand/railway station. There are share autos too from tirupati bus stand to this temple. For travel/food pictures and information plz follow my insta account. Insta id: @shenoypradeep

The rooms won't be available all the time when we visit we need to pre book and the price is ok ok and also a bit higher. The view is beautiful and also it's near to all the bus, car, and you can easily find the transport to go anywher

This is one of the very oldest Temples in Tirupati dating to before advent of Sri Venkateswara in Tirumala. It is acknowledged in Tarigonda Vengamamba written Venkatachla Mahatyam that it was present when Sri Venkateswara set his foot on the hills. There is a beautiful waterfalls in the temple premises that originates from the seven hills. It resonates with great spiritual vibration. Kapileswara Shiva and his consort are the presiding deities in this temple. There is also Sita Rama shrine in the same posture as in Bhadrachalam with mother Sita sitting on the lap of Ramachandra. Beautiful pond with the water being freshly filled up with the waterfall from the Seshachala hills.

We need to visit this place first and then need to visit main temple. It’s very nice place and less crowded and no ticket needed , don’t use any electronic device inside temple , max it will take 10 minutes to complete Darshan if less crowded. It’s near to main temple , laddu counter and on the way to vengamamba annaprasadham center . Please don’t miss this temple when you are in Tirumala .

Before the darshan of "Lord Sri Venkateshwara", devotees are prescribed to have darshan of "Sri Varaha Swamy " . As per Hindu mythology, Varaha Swamy donated land to Lord Sri Venkateshwara on his request . As a gratitude, Venkateshwara swamy offered first bell,first pooja,first Naivedyam(food offering) to Varaha Swamy before offering to Lord Venkateshwara. This is being followed as a tradition even today also.

This is an ancient and a small temple built for the deity Bhuvarahaswamy who is the reigning deity of Tirumala where Sri Srinivasa decides to come and stay to bless his Bhakthas. As such the tradition is before visiting Srinivasa one must have darshan of Bhuvarahaswamy. This is very close to Sri Vari temple.

whole area (seven Hills) is called as Adi Varaha khetra, it means that it belongs to Varaha Swami ,third in ten avataras of Lord Vishnu,whereas Srinivasa/Venkatesa came after eighth avathara that is krishnavathara .So, when Sreenivasa requested Adi Varaha to allow him to stay there, Adi Varaha said what he will get in return? Then Lord Venkatesa said that first darshan and first naivedyam will be given to him .So , as per His word, all devotees should go to Him only after visiting Varaha Swami .So it is customary that we should take bath in pushkarini( if not possible , at least sprinkle some drops of that water on your head ) and get blessings of Lakshmi Varaha Swami ,then proceed to Balaji darshan.

Sri Varahaswamy Temple, situated in the hill town of Tirumala is dedicated to God Varaha. Pilgrims usually offer prayers at Pushkarini and Varahaswamy temple before visiting Lord Venkateswara temple. The temple is located very close to Pushkarini and the main Balaji temple.

Very Divine place of worship, of Varaaha Avataara of Lord Shree Vishnu. But, there is no special queue / arrangement for senior citizens, which makes it difficult.

Adi Varsha Swamy temple is near Puskarini in Tirumala, First we have to visit this temple, after taking bath in pushkarini, then we have to visit Lord Sri Venkateswara Temple (Balaji Temple ). As per mythology, Varahaswamy is owner of Earth and so , Maha Vishnu requested Varaha Swamy to allot land to him and promised Varaha Swamy that devotees visit Varaha Swamy prior to his visit. So we have to visit this temple, before visiting Sri Venkateswara/ Balaji. This temple, is also famous for keeping the record of agreement between Kubera and Lord Sri Venkateswara that the money given by loan by Kubera for performing the grand marriage of Lord Venkateswara with Goddess Padmavathi and interest on loan be paid to Kuber till the end of Kaliyuga

Shri Varaha Swamy Temple : According to the Brahmapurana, it is imperative for the pilgrims to pay a visit to Sri Bhu Varaha Swamy before visiting Lord Sri Venkateswara Swamy. It is Lord Sri Bhu Varaha Swamy who granted land to Lord Sri Venkateswara Swamy on his request to reside in the sacred Seven Hills. As a thanks giving gesture, Lord Sri Venkateswara Swamy had gifted the privilege of first darshan and first naivedyam to Lord Sri Bhu Varaha Swamy.

The Sri Varahaswamy Temple, also called Bhu Varahaswamy Temple, is a Hindu temple dedicated to the god Varaha, situated at hill town of Tirumala in Tirupati, located in Tirupati district of Andhra Pradesh state, India. The temple is situated on the northern premises of Venkateshvara Temple, Tirumala, on north west corner of Swami Pushkarini.This temple is believed to be older than the Venkateshvara shrine. As per the regional legend, after saving the earth from the asura Hiranyaksha, Vishnu's boar avatar Varaha stayed on this hill on the northern bank of Swami Pushkarini. Hence Tirumala Hills is also referred to as Adi Varaha Kshetra.[2] In the beginning of the present Yuga Kali Yuga, Varaha donated land to another form of Vishnu - Venkateshvara on his request. As a gratitude, Venkateshvara offered the right of first bell, puja and naivedyam (food offering) to Varaha before they were offered to him. This is being followed as a tradition even today. Devotees are prescribed to have darshana ("sight") of Varaha before Venkateshvara. It is believed that the pilgrimage to Tirumala will not be complete without having a darshana of Varaha. The temple was renovated by Pedda Tirumalacharya in the year 1535 CE.

The Sri Varahaswamy Temple, also called Bhu Varahaswamy Temple, is dedicated to the god Varaha, situated at the hill town of Tirumala. The temple is situated on the northern premises of Venkateshvara Temple, Tirumala, on the northwest corner of Swami Pushkarini. This temple is believed to be older than the Venkateshvara shrine

One must visit this temple before visiting the main temple... " This temple is near the Pushkarini. AS per the legends the Tirumala Hills belongs to Lord Varaha Swamy and when Lord Balaji wanted to settle on Tirumala Hills, he obtained permission from Lord Varahaswamy. In turn Lord Venkateswara Swamy pledged that all his devotees will visit lord Varaha before visiting him (lord venkateswara swamy). Hence it is the duly/custom of all the pilgrims to have a darshan of Lord Varahaswamy before going for darshan of Lord Venkateswara Swamy. Generally everybody will be in a hurry to have a darshan of Lord Venkateswara Swamy. But we should follow the order"

This is one of the best temples in Tirumala. When I entered the temple, the smell was really good that I didn't smell it for a while. That smell amazed me and also will help in focusing. There was no crowd when I visited in the morning at around 6:30 AM. I suggest people not give money to pujaris.

Timings:5am to 9 pm Dress code: Decent clothes Waiting time:30 minutes. Sri varahaswamy temple also called BHU varahaswamy it’s a small temple situated at hill top in Tirumala on North Mada Street beside entrance of swami pushkarini.

The place of tirumala Tirupati is lord varaha swamy. The legal agreement varaha swamy to give the tirumala mountain to lord sri venkateshwar swamy. Agreement: First Puja and devotes to visit lord varaha swamy and then after to visit lord venkateshwar swamy. Who followed the above agreement the devotees peoples wishes will be granted only. Other wise they will not. I have an suggestion, they are separat lines to visit lord venkateshwar swamy but all line first visit to lord varaha swamy and then line continued to the lord venkateshwar swamy. If TTD management do these Evey devotees they make happy

Its a divine experience and beautiful place. Night time its amazing.

This is one of the most powerful and visited temple in the world. This temple was open by 24/7. We can Darshan Lord Venkateshwara Swamy by sarva darshan and 300/- rupees tickets. After darshan we should get peace of mind and our problems will clear. Main point is first we have to darshan Sri Varahaswami followed by Sri Vari temple (Lord Venkateshwara Swamy). In tirumala weather was nice.

Whole of Tirumala belongs to Shri Adi Varahaswamy , Lord Shrinivas took Sri Adi Varahaswamy 's permission to stay here. So it is obvious that we get Sri Adi Varahaswamy darshan first before Going to Have darshan of Lord Srinivasan.

Such a wonderful experience. The temple and its surroundings are so pleasant…you can just sit in the divine grace for hours peacefully no one will disturb you. The temple architecture is complex thanks to then legends who are involved in making it a marvel. Visit this temple for peace and serenity.

Sri Kalyana Venkateswara swamy Temple is an ancient Hindu temple at Srinivasamangapuram in Tirupati. It is located in Tirupati District of Andhra Pradesh, India.[1] The temple is dedicated to the god Venkateswara, a form of Vishnu and is referred to as Kalyana Venkateswara. The temple is one of the centrally protected monuments of national importance. The temple timings usually vary depending on the day of the week and any special occasions. However, typically it opens around 5:00 AM and closes around 8:00 PM. The temple offers various sevas and rituals that devotees can participate in to seek the blessings of Lord Venkateshwara. These include daily rituals like Archana, Abhishekam, and special sevas like Kalyanotsavam, Visesha Pooja, and Sahasra Deepalankara Seva. The temple is visited by thousands of devotees every day, especially during festivals and special occasions. It holds significant religious importance for devotees of Lord Venkateshwara. The temple premises provide facilities like accommodation, dining halls, and parking for the convenience of pilgrims.

The ancient temple of Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy is located in Srinivasa Mangapuram, about 12 km to West Tirupati in Chittoor district. This ancient temple which is under the control of Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) is maintained by Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams since 1967 and utsavams and rituals in this temple are being performed since 1981. Today, Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy temple is considered sacred, next to Tirumala temple. Those who are unable to make it to Tirumala can have darshan of Lord Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy to fulfill their wish. As the name indicates, this temple carries significance for newlywed couples. Newlyweds offer prayers first in this temple as this is the place where Lord Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy with Goddess Padmavathi Devi stayed for six months, just after their wedding.

This temple is Magical if you believe in Magic and God, this is the perfect place for your wish of getting married fulfilled real soon. Its a belief that one who is expecting to get married but many problems are coming in the way, he should come here and tie a Dhaga (Kalyan Kankanam Seva - Rs. 20 Ticket at the gate counter) in the Kalyanmandapam to get obstacles cleared. And after he gets married, the couple has to come here again soon and do the Kalyanam Pooja (Seva)- (Rs. 500 ticket for 2 people) which means performing marriage of Lord Shri Balaji with his wives assuming that it is your own marriage. I have tied the Kalyan Kankanam Dhaga on my right wrist. Lets hope that this works as it is believed. I personally believe in God and so I hope for the best always. The cleanliness is very good in the temple and premises. Even there is landscaping done near the toilets. They have a lot of parking space around the temple in the back side. I think there is a bus stop in front of the temple because a bus to Tirumala Bus Stand stopped when we waved to him. But remember that you should keep your Google Maps set to your destination with navigation because they can't understand your language. We took a ticket of 35 Rs. Each but they dropped us in middle of the road very far away from the Bus Stand. Or direcly use Uber Auto. Because local auto drivers will empty your pockets immediately. I have attached the pictures in and around the temple. Please check them out. Have a safe trip. TIA.

Beautiful temple, the main shrine looks almost similar to the Tirumala. Abhishekam will be performed on every friday.

Serene and peaceful. People believe that visiting this temple will help them get married in case it’s getting delayed for unforeseen reasons. It’s a divine place. You get to do darshan peacefully. Parking available outside the temple

I have visited in the middle of week ie om Thursday. No rush.....I had good darshan. All devotees allowed inside and I had a closer look of good. Very peaceful place. Pulihora prasad served

Fantastic temple. Early morning visit I made and saw the god clearly with full flower decoration. More or less the idol is same size as Tirumala god. Must visit.

One of the famous and must visit temples in tirupati. Its near to srivari mettu steps. When we went on a Saturday, they didnot allow near to god in the Q line. They are allowing people near to God only who gives money for aaseervachanam or with recomendation. Crowd was less when we visited. Laddu prasadam counter was closed and maintenance was poor. One will not be satisfied who comes from a long distance to return back without prasadam.

The ancient temple of Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy is located in Srinivasa Mangapuram, about 12 km to West Tirupati in Chittoor district.

Kalyana Venkateswara swamy temple in Srinivasa Mangapuram. A must watch temple for all pilgrims who planned to go Tirumala . it’s around 22-15kms far from Tirupathi with very good connectivity.

My visit to the Srinivasa Mangapuram Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy Temple was an enchanting spiritual journey that left me in awe of its serene beauty and sacred ambiance. The temple's significance as one of the sacred abodes of Lord Venkateswara made the experience even more profound. The traditional South Indian temple architecture was a sight to behold, with intricate carvings and sculptures that showcased the rich cultural heritage of the region. The main deity, Lord Venkateswara, exuded a divine aura that filled my heart with peace and devotion. I was moved by the temple's legend, which narrates the divine wedding of Lord Venkateswara and Goddess Padmavathi Devi, making it also known as the "Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy Temple." The spiritual energy of this sacred union enveloped the entire temple complex.

This temple is situated in srinivasamangapuram, 20 km away from tirupati, 5 km from srivaari metu(foot path to tirumala). This temple was recently constructed , for the last 5 years, during my tirumala visit, I never miss having the Darshan. Let Srinivasa bless us.

This is the place where lord perumal married padmavathy thaayar, has lot of history around it. Ample car parking space. Lot of ppl does kalyana seva here, this temple maintained by TTD. No rush no push, can visit Venkatesa perumal similar to tirumala in standing position. Annaprasadam counter is closed at the time of my visit.

Kalyanam tickets will be issued at 9:30 am everyday . Ticket cost 500rupees and two persons allowed per ticket . Kalyanam timings 11:00 to 12:00

2388 steps are there with very clean and good ambience.Timings was morning 5am to evening 6pm.For every 50 steps there will be a drinking water facility which was giving to the pilgrims by the TTD.

For every step there will be a sitting area for taking rest and also for every 200-300 steps there will be a free toilet facility for both men and women.

Easy way to get into top..it will take almost 2 hours to reach. Drinking water available thorough out the journey

Peaceful way for a walk to Tirupati Balaji temple. Total 2488 steps are there and ticket counter is at 1200 steps. Amazing experience.

Total of 2388 steps. Can reach from tirupati bus station on free buses or paid one. Can submit the luggage at the counter and collect it in tirumala. Entry Timings - 5:30 AM to 5:30 PM ⚠️CARRY YOUR OWN WATER BOTTLES, plastic bottles are not allowed.

Visited on : 30th Sep'23 Basically people who wants to go by walk to tirumala prefer either alipiri or srivari Mettu way. Alipiri is a long way and takes much time but srivari mettu is a short way and less steps(2388-->×2.1kms) compared to alipiri. They have luggage counter also but better to buy locks and all at the railway station for less price. Here you don't find many food or stationary/pooja stalls at the entrance and that's why they are charging more money.

1) A lifetime experience in climbing steps to Tirumala. 2) Open from 6 AM to 6 PM 3) Should report at this place by 5:30 AM to avoid long queue. This place is 15-18 kms from main city. 4) Sarva darshan/ Divya Darshan tokens will be given at the starting of the steps. 5) Total: 2380 steps, may be 2 to 2.5 km, Time: Approx 2 to 2:30 Hrs 6) 60% of the steps are steep. So frequent small breaks are must. 7) Many vendors will be selling Lassi, Buttermilk, ORS, choclates etc 8) Better to visit early in the morning. Chirping bird sounds, cool breeze etc

I visted 2 times it’s good feeling

• Total 2388 steps are available. • Steps are very clean and neat with out any damages • But the height of the steps will be some what bigger than normal steps compared to alipiri steps. • I suggest not to take elder people because steps height is high. • Different foods are available through out the steps. • Some best scenaries can be seen while climbing.

I used to like this place. But now it has become worse. No special darshan like before. No respect for pilgrims. People over there are worst. Very rude. Only best way to have proper darshan is to book 2 months in advance for special darshan.

Overall, the journey to the temple by foot is not just a physical pilgrimage, but a spiritual one as well. Not to expect any type of food apart from liquid juices to keep you hyderated as its around 02 hours walk at the slowest pace. Surrounding greenery keeps you fresh all the way. It is a chance to leave behind the distractions of everyday life and look forward for something Good to come.

What an amazing experience!! I am walking this uphill for first time since Alipiri path is closed. This is so good and you will enjoy the complete wilderness and make sure to carry plenty of water. There is no water bottle sold so carry your own. Out of 2833 steps, first 800 was easy! From there it is just uphill and gives you worth a good workout! Clean tap water is available for every 100 meters and the path is too clean as well. Must visit path!

It took 2hrs 40 mins to reach tirumala from down.first 2000 steps and last 500 steps will be tough to walk.it was little bit easy after it.i have started around 7 am.there will be a lots of soft drinks shop while walking.

Happy to be here with the blessings of Lord VenkatewaraSwamy. The only place to find Peace. Total steps are 2388 and it will take around 1 and half hr to 2 hrs to climb the hill. Opened up to evening 4. Luggage Transportation to tirumala will also available at the starting point of this place. So, it will be easy to us to climb the hill.

Fastest way to reach, if one prefers 👣 to reach tirumala from tirupati. easily one can reach the hill top within 2hrs.

This is alternate route to Alipiri. This route is open from 6 am to 6 pm only. You will have to take an auto or bus from Kalyana Venkateshwara temple which is further 6 kms inside to reach the start point of Srivari Mettu. It has around 2388 steps to reach Tirumala. They issue around 5000 darshan tickets if you choose this route which is based on first come first served basis. It’s continuous steps which approximately takes between 1.5 hours to 2 hours. Our experience - I have walked this route for atleast 20 - 25 times since last decade. I have taken 1.5 hours. You get water, juice and snacks in this route.

Devotional and exploration through the natural scenic views of seshachalam hills. Especially in this month of November and December, the weather is fantastic here with the showers of retreating monsoon and the blossoms of the peltophorum pterocarpum which is like a yellow blanket in the greenery of hills.

With the finest views and 2388 steps, Srivari metlu is quickest route to get to tirumala on foot. If you're under 50, you can choose this option with ease. Cause some steps make be harder to climb for people with back and knee pain. Reaching takes between one and two hours.

Srivari Mettu, which is near Srinivasa Mangapuram is an alternative walk path to Tirumala. Many pilgrims prefer Srivari Mettu to Alipiri Mettu, due to its easy to climb nature and less number of steps. Srivari Mettu is around 20 kilometres from the city of Tirupati. It is said that, Lord Venkateswara himself travelled in this route to reach Tirumala from Srinivasa Mangapuram. The story behind Srivari Mettu is, after getting married to Sri Padmavathi Devi, Lord Venkateswara was asked to stay in Srinivasa Mangapuram for 6 months after marriage and not to climb Tirumala Hills. It is said that Lord Venkateswara along with Padmavati Devii has stayed in Srinivasa Mangapuram for 6 months that he has travelled to Tirumala through Srivari Mettu.

To Reach Tirumala within 3 hrs walk via Srivari Mettu 2388 Steps 👣(Approximately 2.5 km) TTD Issues SSD Dharshan Token at 50th Steps

2488 steps and took around 2.5 hrs. We took quite a lot of breaks. But the altitude is high compared to the longest route and might see discomfort in breathing for older people

This is an alternative footpath to Alipari. It has a total of 2388 steps and is 2.1km long. This footpath can be easily covered in 1.5 hrs. I personally completed it in 1.25hrs. There is Mineral water all through the path and also toilet facilities. You will definitely enjoy it as it's a mixed emotion of tiresome and also spirituality. Recommend everyone to go early in the morning as the climate would be bearable. Once you reach the top, rikshaws , jeeps and busses would be available very close by.

Here SSD tokens are issued for footpath claiming pilgrims on daily basis around 3500 tokens are available on first come and first go policy. Infact so many pilgrims are misusing this facility they coming in cars and private vehicles in very early hours and taken tokens over here and getting back into cars going to tirumala in their cars. Not by claiming hill by foot 👣. So many genuine devotees are facing issues even though waiting for hours in Queue facing and fight in that Queue to get tokens which already completed by this car guys. TTD have to maintain some strict action over this.

I have climbed to Tirumala on the Alipiri route couple of times. This time I tried Srivari mettu. Route is short and have 2400 steps approximately. It can take roughly 2hr to climb. There is no food on the way. So one needs to plan accordingly.

We could only find just a handful of deers of which 3 adults and 2 calves. The surprising part is they always stay close to the fence as they are habituated to being fed by passers by and the pilgrims. For those who want to feed these beauties can buy lots of fruits and veggies sold around the park.

Title: A Serene Escape into Nature: Tirumala Deer Park Reserve Review Tirumala Deer Park Reserve, nestled in the breathtaking landscapes of [insert location], is a hidden gem that offers a tranquil retreat for nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts. Having recently visited this reserve, I am captivated by its serene beauty and the incredible experience it provides to visitors. As I entered Tirumala Deer Park Reserve, I was immediately greeted by a sense of peace and harmony. The reserve boasts a vast expanse of lush greenery, encompassing diverse flora and fauna. The well-maintained trails wind through the park, inviting visitors to explore its natural wonders at their own pace. The abundance of fresh air and the soothing sounds of chirping birds create an immersive experience that rejuvenates both mind and soul. One of the main attractions of Tirumala Deer Park Reserve is its thriving population of deer. As I ventured deeper into the reserve, I was fortunate to encounter several species of deer, including spotted deer and sambar deer, gracefully roaming amidst their natural habitat.

I wholeheartedly recommend Tirumala Deer Park Reserve for an enriching and soulful experience in the lap of nature.

Loved the place. The people who use the steps to reach Lord Venkateshwara on Tirumala will see this beauties. I think they ( deers) are pretty accustomed to humans at this point as most of them are not showing any aggressive signs towards humans when we touch them ( a few no deer horns) . People are taking selfies with them , deers are good at posing too 😂. The forest rangers & TTD people will not be allowing the contact between humans and animals as people sometimes are feeding whatever they have & it's causing problems to animals & staff as well. Monkeys can be found too just a few meters ahead on path. Loved for them increased a way lot more now!

Tirumal is one of the deepest forest zone. We can enjoy these places while travelling near by places. I really enjoyed while travelling to Aakashaganga and Japali theertham.

During the strenuous ascent up the alipiri steps to Tirumala, one can catch a glimpse of numerous deer grazing by the side of the road. Their presence is refreshing and uplifting, especially during the grueling climb. Children, in particular, seem to relish this experience, and it is not uncommon to witness them taking selfies with these friendly creatures. Regrettably, some individuals go so far as to feed these animals, which is not advisable.

This comes on your way between Anjaneya swamy temple and gaaligopuram... It's almost near Anjaneya swamy temple..There are no fence or barricades or railings.. Deers come near you.. Can take photos with them and feed them... Feels good while on your way up to meet them . They are interactive and cute...

On the way of tirumala pathway place is located after walking of 2400 steps Nature is superb .we can get tiffin,water,cooldrniks and kids toys...

Tirumala is surrounded by deep forest, one can enjoy the sighting the deers near deer park reserve.

You can watch lot of deers while going through alipari mettu steps.

Visited tirumala deer park reserve while On the way to divine temple of shree tirupati balaji devstahanam. It was pretty mesmerizing to click selfies with deers , walking within so many deers was a very good experience. It has everything for a nature lover. Jai balaji!!

Looking good 💯 makes some good things and good thoughts though 👍

We can see beautiful deers🦌🦌

Very nice park On the way too Tirumala and After covid tha deers are not available at park Now they are free to roam at forest u can find them at the time of walking from tirupathi to tirumala Deers was so nice View was awesome

Its good to see some deers after a long walk. Even people who use vehicle can experience it while returning. But the ones who take steps can experience more of it. You can even feed the deer's

Beautiful place.. while going alipari way to tirumala

It was an amazing experience to see so many deers at a time .when I went to tirumala a deer came outside the mesh I taken a selfie of that moment it was an exciting moment for me. I experienced this in my first visit . There are so many cute deers are there in that park. In the path way of to tirumala . I expected the deers are very cute but they were cute also and talented thinkers also. There is a board in that park to do not feed the deers but someone feed the deers they eat only vegetables and some grass but someone gave energy drink to the deer 🦌 the deer tasted that and it throw that drink far from him. So i sorted that it is brilliant😎.

It is an amazing place to visit with family & friends. Do visit temple & then go for a small Trek for 1-2 kms & you reach the waterfall. Be careful when you get in the water as there are stones and rocks & it is very slippery so you may get hurt. For better experience visit in weekdays as in weekends it's very crowded. There is no changing rooms in that place. That is major problem for women.

Best water falls in talakona...It is like we go from Kadapa to Peeleru road but we can see Talakona waterfall which is Peeleru from 20 km to talakona.. Very cool climate area one km walkable distance to water in Forest.. Vehicle only goes some long.. Water falling is very nice with very cool look like ice water..

A good place to hangout for a day. One should reach early before 12noon so you will get a good time to spend there, the falls get closed by 4PM. Very slippery rocks and dangerous be very careful while swimming and diving. There is a short Trek of about 1.5km to reach from the parking point.

One of the best Waterfall I have visited. You should trek for around 1 to 2 kms to reach the top. Half of the way is flat and other half of the way is steep and slippery so one should be careful while climbing up. Though We went on weekend there were no crowd.entry fee will be collected . Parking facility is available. You will not be having any food options in the top of the waterfall but food are available in the down where you will be parking your vehicle

As usual the best waterfalls.. U see water in all the seasons.. Simple but lovely falls.. Just near to high way, one cam choose these falls. Entry fee for car and bikes.. U can take vehicles almost near to the falls. U can get veg food, of u want non veg buy chicken and handover to shops, they charge minimal for cooking. U can have the same after finishing falls.

Awesome experience overall, easy trek of 1to 2km inside the forest to reach this beautiful waterfall. You can trek upto top of the waterfall but be careful while climbing on rocks near water fall it's too slippery. In rainy season water flow will be more.but still you can enjoy in the falls.

I have one suggestion for u My lovely Friends and Followers ❤️ break the stress😫 go n enjoy the weekend trip lot of happiness given to me nature🌲🌴 and waterfall 🌊my stressed gone now' I'm Cool 😎

great place to visit through out the year except rainy season with family. greenery is very nice. need to walk 1-2km till you reach the waterfall. Be careful when you climb to the top waterfall

Awesome place to enjoy nature and forest food. Water falls, Siddeswara and Siddeswari temple are very pleasant. One must wood apple, fried ground nuts on the way.

Best place to visit who liked the natural and waterfalls, it's a devotion attraction too. It's open in the morning at 8:00 AM clock to 4:00PM, the ticket price is 30 for a person. From the Entrances you can drive your own vehicle at a certain distance, from there you can walk a certain distance to see the beauty of the waterfall. You have safari at a certain distance for needed ones. Please carry water bottles and food, you don't find any shop after entrance. There are 3-4 hotel stays are available near the waterfalls entrance cheap and best, there prepare you food what you needed. Cellphone signal are very low. Note:- natural give beautiful sites to watch and enjoy, so, please keep it clean and unpolluted for the next generation....

It was a wonderful experience but also hard trails. the water flow is amazing in March. we didn't Expect this much flow we came by car from Chennai almost 200 km. We had a wonderful experience we said as soon as possible before they may.

Must visiting places. It is suitable for both Family and friend. Best time is I think 11am - 1pm because after this time the water chillness is very high like freezer water. We are reach fall at 2.30 that is chillness is high that why I suggested this time.

We are very happy to visit talakona specil waterfalls and way is little bir some of dangerous but steps side walking not seafty so becarefuly walk out lot of enjoyed at the time thanks

This Amazing Waterfalls which is about 58km from Tirupati can be reached by trekking for about one km from car parking space of Thalakona waterfall.....Its lifelong memorable experience after having a view of this waterfall....This is about 270ft highest waterfall...Entry Fee is 30/- per person...Safari Vehicle is available to reach to the bathing ghat from Arch...At the entrance Veg & Non Veg Home food facility is available by aunty at the arch...Recent shootings like Leo & other movie shootings also happened here

Waterfalls are spectacular and the surrounding location is a absolute visual treat. We need to walk 500m to reach the waterfalls area from the car/bike point. There is no fence through the path at some places, we should be vigilant especially when going with kids. Water was very clean and cold, we visited in January.

The water hits your body like a million little needles falling from that height - Magical little place on this Earth What a god amazing place this is, Forget going anywhere outside India Such a beautiful creation of mother nature over thousands of years of time frozen in this hidden little gem. I swam here for hours together. No crowd what so ever when we went there, the sun was warm and nice. The water was cold and refreshing for a nice swim. Do not miss this of you are on Andra Pradesh. Worth spending the whole day here with your family or friends - Stay Clean and Safe But please don't dirty the place and throw garbage everywhere.....Mother earth won't forgive you for this.

Amazing waterfall. Herbal bath with cill water. In summer season. Dnt miss it friends when you go to thirupathi. Just 1.1/2 journey from thirupathi bus stand. First bus 7.30.am Ticket fare 60.rs only.

A cascading symphony of liquid grace, the waterfall dances down the rugged terrain, glistening in the sunlight. Nature's artwork, it weaves serenity into the surrounding landscape, a testament to the enchanting beauty of untouched wilderness. We ordered food with country chicken beforehand at the entrance. After bath you will be tired and that hot meal will be a treat to the trip.

The waterfall was a hidden gem, nestled amidst the lush greenery of the forest. The journey to the falls was an adventure in itself, with a 20-minute walk through the woods. The anticipation of what lay ahead made the walk all the more exciting. The falls were divided into two parts, each with its own unique charm. The first part was a sight to behold, with water cascading down the rocks in a mesmerizing display. But the real magic lay in the second part, where the falls were bigger and more majestic. To get there, we had to trek for another 15 minutes. But the effort was worth it, as the view was simply breathtaking. However, the parking situation was a bit of a hassle. The area was teeming with mischievous monkeys who were more than happy to check out our bikes and make them dirty. So, beware of these little rascals! Also, keep in mind that the falls are open only until 4 pm. So, plan your visit accordingly. Overall, the waterfall was a delightful experience that left us feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. It’s a must-visit for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and immerse themselves in nature’s beauty

I visited here on 2024 Pongal holiday solo on bike from Chennai. The travel itself was challenging almost 4+ hours of travel along with the early morning mist making it an impossible ride. I planned to be there before 8:30am their opening time but then I reached around 9-9:30am. You'd be charged 10₹ for parking 🅿️ and another 30₹ per head for entry. They have a large open space beneath the falls where vehicles are parked. For bikes, monkeys are the most annoying thing you'll regret on for travelling on a bike there as they'd check your bike for food and and making it clumsy. My tank cover was torn when I came 🔙. As I was early I came across only a fewer crowd till 10 or 11am but after that they place was filled with people. If you're looking for peace and alone spot come very very early for privacy. Most exciting spot to chill and have fun beneath the falls if you visit with larger crowds. Look out for kids safety by yourself as there is no incharge of sort overseeing the crowd. It is better stay at the bottom foot pond like structure beneath the waterfall that one would see after parking their vehicle if you have more elderly persons and kids with you. 3rd spot on top is too slippery and the fencing there is irregular and not well maintained, so go there at your own risk. People even go above that to reach the top of the falls but it is not recommendable as there is no proper visible path and being dense forest area one might even lose time finding the way without any locals. Early in the morning 🌅 the water was so chill and breath taking to bathe in. Must visit spot in AP if you're around thirupati, plan accordingly so that you can have a visit when you plan for thirupati.

Talakona Waterfalls is one of the beautiful waterfalls in India and also it is a famous tourist spot in Andhra Pradesh which is located at Chittor district and it is also near to the famous devotional pilgrim Tirumala. The beauty of waterfalls is awesome and the glow of water is continuous around all the seasons and more in rainy and winter seasons. The hill station and the waterfall environment makes you feel surprised and amazing. The roadway where we pass through the dense forests is very pleasant and makes you feel that you are in Amazon forests. The greenery and the tall trees and their medicinal values make you feel pleasant and peaceful. There is a distance of nearly 2 to 3 kilometres we will walk in the deep forest where we can hear pleasant birds sounds and some rare birds also we can see. One of the best tourist spots and waterfalls in Andhra Pradesh.

Travelling through the forest area is so nice. There is no water falls and the water is pouring through outlet pipes. Carry some metal bottle for bringing the theertham water. Lot of shops selling various toys, ornamental chains, house hold items etc., and variety of refreshments.

This place is about 5 kms from the main town of thirumala and there are regular buses of APSRTC. There are private taxis also available at reasonable rates. Temple maintained is very clean water supply given with pipe. Goddess gangadevi has a temple here. It’s a very beautiful and peaceful place 😍 #Papavinasam #Thirumala

Papavinasanam temple,is situated in the Tirumala hill,Tirupati,Andhra Pradesh.

I hope you have a good time in this place. Signing off, Reviewer

So it’s believed that people who stand below this water , will be forgiven for their sins. It’s a hidden gem of Tirumala. You don’t know the source of water, but all the time there are droplets that are falling from these stones. And there is a beautiful Devi temple too. You can’t take your vehicles to the entrance of the temple. You have walk around 700 mts to reach this place and walk down the stairs, not to worry it’s completely safe and roads are well maintained. Once you reach the destination you forget all the struggle and the time and effort is completely worth it. So calm and a beautiful. A must visit place in Tirumala.

It is one of seven holy theerthams in Seshagiri hills. It is believed that the holy water here absolves one from all sins. The waterfall is long gone. Instead, piped water from Papavinasanam dam is supplied here for the devotees to take a bath. The small temple here has idols of Goddess Gang and Sri Anjaneya Swamy. All the six locations can be visited in under three hours. You start from – SriVari Padalu. Then return back to Silathoranam. The Rock garden and Chakra Theertham is located within the same complex. From here you go straight to Papavinasanam. On way back you can visit Akash ganga and stop for some time on the Gogarbham dam bridge. You will be travelling a maximum distance of 25 kms.

Papavinasham is Located in the outskirts of Tirupati, very beautiful place where you have to walk around half kilometre to the destination, Beautiful scenic place, you can take bath with cold water flowing from top of the hills. The water is so soothing in the hot weather. A must visit place if you take tour around Tirupati and Tirumala. There are 108 theertham holy waterfalls around thirumala which is located around widespread seshachalam hills, but most of them are not accessible through road, one should trek little deep into seshachalam hill ranges and few of theme are very very difficult to reach.The story goes that when Lord Venkateswara descended to Earth, he realized the magnitude of sins carried by humanity. In his divine compassion, he created this sacred water body to cleanse his devotees of their transgressions.

The nature view is really awesome 😍 but here in olden days you can find a water flowing from to but as time goes. The flow of water is being stopped as shown in photos I posted. But first thing nature you can enjoy lot

As the name suggests, Papavinasam is the place where all the devotees frequent with the belief that a holy bath would redeem them from their sins.

Do checkout the fancy stores outside.

It looks like an amazing view of Ganaga Devi temple and water flow from rock and downside the hills

Very nice experience to have the holy water over you. I did not take the bath here. But I took some water and sprinkled over me. We need to walk down about 100 to 150 steps to reach this location. Ganga devi temple is located here. Be careful about monkeys and money like humans giving poses to the photographs.

This reaches here, one needs to cross the sanctuary and pay the toll. This place has a parking issue during peak time as it only has a parking space which can accommodate around 20-30 vehicles only. There are local shops present on both sides of the road from where you can buy various items and puja samagri as well. You need to walk around 5 mins to reach the main spot. There is no proper shoe stand or place present where one csn remove and put their shoes. Although this is situated next to the dam so one may considered it for visit and also it is situated in the forest so one can observe the nsture's greenery.

Papavinasam Theertham is a sacred water body located in the Tirumala hills.This theertham (holy water) is believed to have purifying properties, and it holds significant religious importance for devotees visiting the area.

Numerous stalls line the area, offering a variety of items such as toys, food, and other products, adding to the vibrant atmosphere of the place. Additionally, Papavinasam Theertham marks the furthest accessible point on this side of Tirumala.

This place is filled with incense and it's suffocating. The entire lane is filled with the evil eye face masks that are hung in front of the houses and shops. Really not recommended. The parking space is very less.

This is one of the important places in Thirumala. The general belief that whatever the sins you committed knowingly or unknowingly will get cleared when you visit this temple. Priests are available to take sangalpam, and you can make donations for annathana. Pl carry cash to make the payments since there are no signals are available for making online payments at this place. Nice place to have a darshan for peace of mind. Plenty of buses available from CRO circle and bus stand.

This place mainly known for vanishing our sins off by taking bath with the water coming from the hill top.

2.30 pm opening 1 km walking distance in steps 20 to taken time to reach very nice place to devote Sri anjaneya temple per members 5rs entry fees archana seat 10 rs

A well maintained park and nice natural stone made architecture. Some of the animals made looked so real that I got scared to go near when I saw a python look a like beautiful well maintained. We had a pleasure of seeing peacock opening it's all feathers and giving us a full display for over 10 mts and still showing . Again best time to visit is morning to feel thr calm of nature and enjoy the weather. Summer time best time is morning to avoid scorching heat.

Next to Rock Garden. Well maintained Garden lots of camera friendly points. Best pic points. Do visit. Also maintain cleanliness. Hats of to Andhra Tourism.

This is a geological wonder one of its kind in India and a few others in other countries like China and USA. It's a very ancient rock formation dated back several hundreds of millions of years. This is in the form of Arch that has stood challenging the weather, storm etc since millions of years. Around this arch there are several other rock formations.

The natural arch formation is so nice to see, and the view from here is just so good.

Nice place to visit and spend time with Nature. Should be taken up for more elaborated visitor facilities. Good place to spend time with Nature. Morning time at 7 to 8 and evening at 4 pm to 5 pm is best time to visit for Nature lovers. However, all day is also fun. Just simply nature, don't over expect.

It's one of my most most favourite places on Tirumala. In addition to the beautiful natural arc and the temple, it also gives you a view of the forest, windmills and the nature. It's a view of a lifetime. I never miss this whenever I go to Tirumala.

Have missed this place during my earlier trips to thirumala. Loved this place for the natural arch and also the walk to the chakratheertham. Kids enjoyed climbing the rocks. Would say a must visit place if you have kids. Even the garden in the front is very beautiful. Place for some really good clicks

Best place to take kids and spend time. This place has a garden for kids to play. Carry an umbrella and caps as this place is wide open. It would be good if they add some trees and make it relaxing. Follow me at instagram for more beautiful pictures and travel information @shivu.mind 🙏🙏🙏

Natural Arch, Tirumala hills, a notified National Geo-heritage Monument, is a distinctive geological feature 1 km north of the Tirumala hills temple, near the Chakra Teertham in Tirupati district in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India. The arch is also called Silathoranam in the local language. The arch measures 8 m in width and 3 m in height. The arch resembles the hood of a Serpent, a Conch and a Discus. The Best time to visit the arch is between 6 A.M. and 8 A.M. There is a well maintained garden in front of the arch . Visiting Time: Monday to Sunday Morning 8AM to 6PM. How to Reach: The location of the arch is well connected by road, rail and air routes. The nearest railhead to Tirumala hills is Tirupati. By Rail: From Tirupati railway station the approach to the Tirumal temple is only by road, a distance of 19 km (11.8 mi). By Air: The nearest airport is located at Tirupathi, about 15 km (9.3 mi) away from Tirupati, which connects to Chennai, Hyderabad and bangalore airports. By Road: Regular bus services (both private and Govt. transport services operate) are operated by all the states bordering Andhra Pradesh.The approach road from the temple is wide and is an avenue of trees. Private vehicles are allowed to the location.

It is a natural stone arch, located just around 1.5 km from the Venkateswara Temple, this arch is naturally formed, archaeological wonder there are very few of these in the world. There is a small Shiva temple , Garden and Rock Garden developed & maintained by TTD which are beautiful. You can reach this place by walking from the temple.

Place is situated upside the mountain in tirumala there are beautiful garden and big rock carves and inside small zoo photo shoot point and many god and goddess inside park charteertham way also inside the park and you can see the view of beautiful mountain and sunset point you feel amazing here lot of things for visit and outside park biggest parking many shops for purchasing lot of things eating place also

Silathoranam garden is very excited 😊 place visit more people and lovely view and side area zoo.

This is one of the best places in Tirumala to consider a visit. One can even walk to this place as it is around 1.7 KM from Tirupati Annaprasadam building. If you're coming from a vehicle then it is also good. There is plenty of parking space available here. The rock structure is amazing and you can spend a good time here. There is a park, a small zoo where hen will be kept just next to the rock. And after walking for a couple of minutes there is a Tirumala chakrateertham place is present where one can worship the gods. To reach here, one needs to walk around 100-120M. If you're taking a city bus for sightseeing,this is the last spot they are covered in. But you need to wait for a long time, as here it is not the same as when you sit in 1 bus and that bus will cover all the 6 tourist spots. Rather they drop and go to the next place. When you come to pick the bus, you need to wait for a new bus at the bus stop. You can show the same ticket to them and don't need to buy another ticket. Then that bus will take you to the next destination.

A beautiful place to visit surrounding Tirupati. It is a natural stone arch, which was found by archeologists excavating a geological fault in the area. Located just around 1.5 km from the Venkateswara Temple, this arch is naturally compared to the divine serpent Adishesha comparisons made to the different rocks making up the arch and the Lord’s conch, discus etc, propagating the belief that this is where the Lord entered Tirumala!

Silathoranam Garden is a park and tourist attraction located in Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh. It is about 6.13 kilometers away from the Tirupati railway station. Natural Arch, Tirumala hills, a notified National Geo-heritage Monument,is a distinctive geological feature 1 km (0.6 mi) north of the Tirumala hills temple, near the Chakra Teertham in Tirupati district in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India. The arch is also called Silathoranam (శిలాతోరణం) in the local language (Telugu language: sila means ‘rock’ and thoranam means a garland strung over a threshold, connecting two vertical columns or an ‘arch’ as in this case). The arch measures 8 m (26.2 ft) in width and 3 m (9.8 ft) in height, and is naturally formed in the quartzites of Cuddapah Supergroup of Middle to Upper Proterozoic (1600 to 570 Ma) due to natural erosive forces. The Tirumala hills range is known to be the second oldest rock mountains considered to be over several million years old . The rock garden formed by Silathoranam is a natural rock formation in the form of an arch, near the Chakra Tirtham. its is worth a visit and and if one uses imagination one can visualize various animal/ bird forms among the rocks. All the reviews that one reads states that there are only three such rock arches. But that's not true. There are many such nature made wonders, It is a protected monument and one cannot go near it as the rock is cordoned off (which is a good thing otherwise many people have a tendency of carving the date of visit

Great place for nature lovers. Quite and clean, well-maintained place. Also there is a very old. shiva temple in a walkable distance. The path to siva temple is not smooth it will be challenging for elderly people but I am sure young kids will enjoy this small trucking.

2500 million years ago naturally formed rare geological arch just 1-2km away from main temple in Tirumala. One who visited Tirumala should visit this place as well without fail..This is one of the sightseeing spots in Tirumala.

Green and colorful garden with rock formation hills, small stream is there ,birds sanctuary available.

Fort is now well maintained than few years ago. Friday is a holiday for the museum. Greenery part is good. Rani Mahal is not in good shape. Location wise it is close to the highway.

This is one of the most historical place and it carries a lots of stories about our ancient kings who ruled out south part of India. If you visit you can notice most historical idols and weapons used in olden days. It's our responsibility to know our history.

Well maintained.. Neat and clean. The roads that lead to fort are amazing with fortified walls.. Converted to an archaeological museum.. Has the model of Gudimallam temple parasurameshwara idol.... Lovely place for a stop by

Very small fort but well maintained.. There is a garden where you can spend a good time clicking some nice photos. Very limited food options.

A lesser known tourist attraction near Tirupathi, it is supposed to be from the Vijayanagar era. It is managed by ASI and DSLRs have an additional fee. There are 2 main structures, the kings palace which has been converted to a museum and queens palace which is a relatively smaller building which you cant enter or climb onto the upper floor as the doors are locked. There is a small pond in front of the kings palace and garden area surrounding it. Toilet amenities are available inside the fort area but not sure how clean they are. There is a pathway that leads to what could have been an awesome trek to the top of the hill that overlooks the palace but it is closed and there is an ASI guard who will shoo you away from there :). The museum displays various artifacts ranging from statues to weapons to documents etc but nothing that gives you that wow factor. Photography inside the museum is prohibited. Not too far from the village, so you dont have to worry about refreshments and you also have cart vendors who pitch their stalls outside the fort in case you want to grab a quick drink. Decent place to have a quick visit if you happen to be in that area.

Chandragiri Fort in Andhra Pradesh is a historical treasure that takes you on a journey through time. The fort's well-preserved architecture, with its imposing stone walls, moats, and intricate carvings, is a testament to its rich past. The Raja Mahal, now a museum, showcases artifacts, paintings, and sculptures, providing insight into the region's heritage. The view from the hilltop is spectacular, allowing you to appreciate the surrounding landscapes. While the site may not be as well-known as some others, it offers a tranquil and educational experience for history enthusiasts. A visit to Chandragiri Fort is a step back in time and a hidden gem in Andhra Pradesh.

Surrounding is amazing and on Friday museum is holiday entry fees for adult is 60 and for childrens it's 40, toilet facilities are available and drinking water available, garden and lake view is amazing

in this fort we can see all idols, weapons pottery, antiques of all gods and items used to worship God.and some statues made with bronze.We can also see ponds. Pleasent place to relax in the garden.

Nice and chilled place to wander around for an hour or two. The gardens and buildings are lovely. Highlight were the cheeky monkeys stealing food from unexpected visitors.

Chandragiri Fort is an historical fort, built in the 11th century located at Chandragiri suburb in Tirupati. This fort is very close to Tirupathi. maintained neatly and rare artefacts are preserved with utmost care. Chandragiri is now famous for the historical fort and the Raja Mahal within it. The fort encircles eight ruined temples, Rani Mahal and other ruined structures. Entry to Chandragiri Fort is Rs 30

A great historical place in chandragiri.. here the museum in main fort and Rani maham are very good place to see.. archeology department maintained and collected good monuments and displayed here .

One of the very least known, least explored place near tirupathi. This is a very very good fort with a huge complex around and nice surroundings with a huge pond, outdoor garden seating and very good museum inside. A must visit place I would recommend to everyone visiting Tirupati next time. I loved my time here!

Ticket prices for one person 25 rs for Indians and 300 for foreigner ,Distance form tirupati 19 km,there only 2 mahal 1st raja mahal and 2nd rani mahal and one pond ,museum present in raja mahal but we can't see due to holiday on firday, every firday museum not opne so don't visit this fort on firday, my experience is not good.

Excellent place with huge greens and rocks. And we can see the history of fort and belongings also. this historic fort build in 11th century here we have Raja Mahal and Rani Mahal .we can see little pond also . Overall nice experience 😀.

Being one of the most important historic places of India, is just like any other picnic spot (park). The King's palace is turned into a museum and Queen's palace in ruins. But nowhere the historic importance is seen as there are no proper markings or route maps for the visit. We saw many people getting disappointed saying that "came to see the fort but saw the museum". No public amenities especially for men. But for a break from routine life, one of the best spots to visit for couples, families and small groups.

Such a Beautiful place in Tirupati. The Guides are very hospitable and explain each and Every Floor Architects. The place is also kept clean inspite of visitors throwing the papers and pockets. I suggest every viewer if this to take their Family in Special their Children so that they can know the past.

Beautiful Fort with a museum inside. The museum contains an excellent collection of history. Gudimallam Shivan Statue model is awesome. Overall a very good place to visit with your family. Entry tickets are 30rs per adult.

Nice place to visit with friends and family to know about our history in the fort inside there are having archaeological museum

What would one review about a temple?? 🤔 Hahaha... The place is beautiful, but one needs to climb around 300 steps, which is not mentioned anywhere 😅...!! We have a little walkway in the mid but the entire path is amazing to see, lot of trees on your left and the hill view on your right...!! Few spots are amazing...!!! Overall it's a good experience travelling to the temple.

It was a beautiful experience visiting there. Such a peaceful n pleasant place it is. (We must walk a little long to reach the temple but that gives you a memorable experience).

This is the kind of temple I'm looking for in Tirumala. To reach the temple one has to walk/climb stairs around 1-1.2 KM. Throughout the journey you'll be going inside the forest. The fresh air and the trees make the perfect scenery and the beauty. I suggest you don't go fast, enjoy and feel the beauty of beauty. Don't remove your shoes at the entrance, instead wear them and remove them once you reach the temple. One thing I like to highlight here is that there is no water facility available till the main temple so carry water bottles if possible. Although there are 2-3 local shops present in between which will sell chhach and fruits. Once you reach the temple then only you'll be able to get drinking water. The temple is good, it has 1 kund as well. Toilets and local shops are also there at the main temple premise. You'll find monkeys once you're halfway to the temple. Give time here, enjoy the peace. I would highly recommend this place to give a visit.

One of the main thing ia, we have do a small adventure to reach this temple. Old people definitely cannot go to this temple everyone one will be tried of climbing this mountain steps.. We have to climb a small mountain and then get down again to reach the temple.. But belive me you can get a difference experiences with all the monkeys all around and different types of squirrels and many more beauty of nature along the way while reaching the temple.. There is not wheelchair facility and no way to car to go directly to the temple. You have to park your car down the hill and climb the mountain steps. 😊 Hope it's useful

Very pleasant space for devotees. It's been developed a lot compared to earlier. There are 2 ways to reach out the temple. Through steps and another is mud road. Feel like we are trecking. Long the way there is view of reservoir which would be an awesome place for photo lovers..

Less crowded place very calm pathway and beautiful sounding. To reach the temple you have to walk around one kilometre. There is stairs to reach temple. We show Indian giant squirrel for the first time. Overall it's very good place srounded by nature.

Such a divine place amidst Dense forest!! We need to walk around ~5km up and down with stairs along the way.. But it is worth the effort.. You can see Monkeys ,red squirrels all along the way .. Monkeys near the temple are tourist friendly 😀 , they expect you to feed something and come over to every person that passes them, so no need to panic. Note that temple is closed for an hour between 1 to 2pm.. No water bottles available on the way, so take your own water bottle .

Beautiful place to visit. But you have to walk a lot to reach the temple. Old people or people with knee and leg problems, kindly avoid . Walking through the forest, the nature, climate and scenery was a good experience for us. For the first time we saw a giant squirrel. Overall nice experience walking to the temple.

This divine place is located deep in the Seshachalam Forest ! You can reach here by bus, car, bike, etc; Govt. Bus charges 125/- for 6 tourist places around Tirumala. It also covers this.. You will need to walk, climb and get down the stairs for around a KM into the forest to reach this temple.. The whole walking path is like you are inside a deep forest.. full of nature - trees, water ponds, monkeys all around the place.. a must visit if you visit Tirumala.. Please keep the place tidy and clean when visiting.. Lets all preserve the divinity of this temple and its surroundings..

Beautiful place to explore. Almost a 20 min walk along the stairs to reach the temple. Very peaceful with background chants, peaceful, within the nature and very beautiful around. Go with a heart to experience the beauty of nature along the walk and red big squirrels are another spot of attraction at this place

One of the best and nearest place at Tirumala and the journey of Japali is the most beautiful road with crazy curves and good location with full of forest and peaceful place

I was so impressed with this place I really wanted to retire in this kind of place visit this place in early morning to see and feel its beauty .complete calmness mind relaxing temple is almost middle of forest surrounded by big tress and big bamboo trees are also there which we see in Chinese movies .many photo spots are there .we have to walk one kilometer inside to get here . if we missed it we miss everything . people and kids are placing stones one another . best experience in life

JAPALI ANJANEYA SWAMI Most Powerful Hanuman here in Japali. It is one of the Most Beautiful Places In Tirumala. You need to walk some distance but I feel it is more worthy, In the middle of forest you can feel beautiful environment and Beautiful Climate N Forest Surroundings everything is so beautiful you can see some creatures also after that you will reach temple in some time Don't ever miss this beautiful and powerful temple when you visit tirumala. Hanuman is very powerfull here and the temple is in the Forest so you can do meditation here you can feel the peace when you sit here. Many more to say but you will feel something when you visit here. I'm pretty sure if you visit once in your life you will definitely come here again and again and again. 🕉️JAI SRI SITA RAM 🕉️ JAI HANUMAN 🕉️
