please wait...Translate to EnglishYo, 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.
