Yo, you planning to hit up Sri Padmamavathi Ammavari Temple in Tiruchanur and other local temples? Well, I got the hookup for you to get a quick darshan in all those temples, fam. It's called APTDC package tours. Here's the deal: - APTDC runs these package tours from Srinivasam complex in Tirupati, bro. - Srinivasam complex is near the main bus stand in Tirupati. Subway's available from the bus stand to the complex, so you don't gotta worry about crossing busy roads, dude. Here's what you gotta do: - If you haven't booked any accommodation, grab a room or a free locker for the night at Srinivasam complex, bro. - The 5 temples package tour includes the following temples: 1) Sri Kapileswara Swamy Temple, Tirupati. 2) Sri Agastheshwara Temple, Thondavada. 3) Kalyana Venkateswara Temple, Srinivasa Mangapuram. 4) Sri Padmavathi Ammavari Temple, Tiruchanur. 5) Sri Govindaraja Swamy Temple, Tirupati. To get the front seats on the bus, be ready and standing in line at 5 AM or later, man. Bus ticket booking opens at 6 AM for the first trip. And if you're going with a group, only one person needs to stand in line, bro. Ticket booking timings for the 5 temples package tour are from 6 AM to 1 PM. I went on the 5 temples package tour on a non-AC bus for the first trip at 6 AM. The bus fare was ₹100, bro. Make sure you sit in your assigned seat, as it'll be written on your ticket. You'll breeze through quick darshan in all the temples, and a guide will be with you throughout the tour. After visiting Sri Kapileswara Swamy Temple and Sri Agastheshwara Temple, you'll get breakfast at a mess. But you gotta pay for it yourself, man. The tour ends near Sri Govindaraja Swamy Temple, Tirupati (close to the railway station). Just show your bus ticket to get that quick darshan, bro. When you go for darshan, leave your luggage, phones, and shoes on the bus, man. Here are the distances from Srinivasam complex: - Alipiri (starting point for pilgrims trekking to Lord Venkateshwara's temple): 4 km. - Tirumala: 22 km. - Sri Govindaraja Swamy Temple: 1.5 km. - Sri Kapileswara Swamy Temple: 3 km. - Sri Kodanda Rama Swamy Temple: 2 km. - Sri Padmavathi Ammavari Temple: 5 km.

Just aakhri hafte mujhe Tirumala/Thirupathi gaye the, wahan se notice karte hue main ye tip share kar raha hoon, agar ye purani tip hai to ignore kar do.

Tirupathi railway station se Tirumala pahunche ke liye FOB ke extreme end tak jaao, platform 1 ke paas, wahan se hi utarne par gov bus ke conductors aapko tirumala hills tak pahunchane ka ticket denge aur bus khud hi wahan park hoga. Har 1 minute me Tirupathi railway station se bus available rahegi. Alipiri ya Srivari mettu Foothills (un logon ke liye jo footsteps se Tirumala jaana chahte hai) pahunchne ke liye chhote mini bus bhi Tirupathi railway station se available hai lekin frequency kam hogi.

Agar aap chal sakte hai toh, Tirupathi bus stand sirf 5 minutes ki walk hai, bus stand ke paas main road par wait karo, wahan free bus service hai Alipiri gate tak (footsteps ke liye jo pilgrims Tirumala jana chahte hai) lekin frequency maximum har 30 minutes hai. Main ne apni pichhle hafte ke Tirumala visit ke liye is free bus ka istemaal kiya.

Thank you for sharing this helpful tip for reaching Tirumala from Tirupathi railway station. It's always useful to have updated information like this for fellow travelers. It's good to know that there are frequent bus services available at the extreme end of the FOB next to platform 1. It's also great that there are options for reaching the foothills, such as the small mini bus or the free bus from the Tirupathi bus stand. This will definitely come in handy for those who prefer to walk to Tirumala. Thank you once again for sharing this valuable information!

There's a good chance that the SCR division will troll this train if it reaches Tirupati (TPTY) after 6:00 PM (in case there are delays from the SWR division). The reason is that SCR can't find a time slot to run it in the busy 7:00-9:00 PM hours between Gudur and Vijayawada. It will be heavily trolled till Renigunta and will reach Gudur only after 9:30 PM IST. There's a high chance of more than 3 hours of delays after GDR junction when this train is rescheduled from the source station (YPR).

Agar yeh train Tirupati (TPTY) 18:00 baad pahunchti hai (Agar SWR division se reschedule ya der ho), toh SCR division ke trolls kaafi saare chances hai.

Reason yeh hai ki SCR ko Gudur - Vijayawada section mein 19:00-21:00 tak chalane ka time slot nahi mil paa raha hai. Isliye yeh train Renigunta tak kaafi trolls se guzar jayegi aur Gudur sirf 21:30 IST ke baad pahunchegi. GDR jn. se jab yeh train source station (YPR) se rescheduled ho, tab 3+ ghante ki der hone ke high chances hai.

Thanks for the update. It's unfortunate to hear about the potential delays and rescheduling of SMVT Bengaluru - Howrah SF Express at Tirupati. It seems like finding a suitable time slot for the train to run in the Gudur - Vijayawada section during the busy 19:00-21:00 hours is proving to be a challenge for the SCR division. This has resulted in delays and trolls for the train till Renigunta, with a possible arrival at Gudur only after 21:30 IST. In such cases, there is a high likelihood of further delays of up to 3+ hours. Hopefully, the authorities will work on improving the scheduling and operation of this train.
