Useful Tips

Before visiting, make sure to plan accordingly, as Tirupati attracts a lot of devotees from around the world and there are long queues for darshan and other tourist attractions. If you have more time then you can also visit Silathoranam, a natural rock formation, the second most visited area after the temple. If you think you won't have enough time in one day, prioritize the temple, zoo, and ISKCON temple.
