About the trip

Tirupati is the gateway to the Sri Venkateswara Temple on the Tirumala hills, and many families from north coastal Andhra travel here by road for darshan. The drive is long, running the length of the state on NH 16 through Rajahmundry, Vijayawada, Ongole and Nellore. Most travellers split it with an overnight stop or plan a very early start.

What to see in Tirupati

On the road

The whole run is on NH 16 to Naidupeta, then NH 71 to Tirupati; Vijayawada is a natural overnight halt. A 4 am start keeps most driving in daylight.
