VISITING TIRUPATI & TIRUMALA

Visiting Lord Balaji (Venkateshwara), is considered to be one of the toughest jobs in the world is today!

We need tremendous information and updation of information since the rules keep on changing without any notice. The crowd is so much that the Tirupati Tirumala Devasthanam (TTD) authorities are a law unto themselves and bother the least about the general crowd. VIPs also keep exerting pressure on them and the aam-aadmi is left uncared for. They will stop darshan abruptly, form a new queue and allow them to join the existing one, open various gates at various times to let in various groups of people known at various hierarchies within the TTD administration!

This is one place where we cannot plan our trip properly and it is always advisable to keep at least half-a-day extra for the darshan!

We can try to find a pattern in this chaos. Let us know if you want any assistance in planning your trip.

We can arrange customised tour packages from www.TirupatiPackages.com
