I have already mentioned good information regarding the road trip from Tirupati to Bangalore in one of my previous posts. I recently visited Tirupati again. Also visited the golden temple at Sripuram, Vellore, Tamil Nadu. I have learnt some lessons and wanted to publish those tips. Also the route map. First the route map ...
Now the Tips:
1. Avoid driving in winter from Bangalore early in the morning. Why??? see below
2. Year end, you are going to face huge crowds.
3. Srivari Darshanam is very very tough.
4. Book hotels in advance.
5. Very very important: At all the shrines, i.e. AliveluMangapuram (Lordess Mahalakshmi temple), Sripuram men are not allowed to wear shorts and enter the temple. Of course girls can wear skirts which show either their thighs or anything above too.
6. Security check at the Alipiri is shutdown from 1AM to 3AM. If you are planning for Darshanam,at early hours, keep this in mind.
7. Petrol on the Sacred Hill, Tirumala is almost unavailable. However the benevolent fuel station people can refuel up to Rs. 200; No cards accepted.
8. Mentally challenged men are deputed as Tirumala Traffic Police. So parking locations change just like chameleons. Traffic directions are never in the same direction. One ways suddenly sprung up. Kindly keep track, so that you can keep your car as near as possible to the temple.
9. If you buy the costliest of darshans, then please don't be in a dogma that you are highly privileged and very few people are going to accompany you. The authorities sell darshans at a 1:1 price. The second one is for the service of providing ticket for you.
10. Most of the fuel stations do not accept card at Tirupati.
11. Also almost all the stations have their air filling machines not working. Plan well.
13. Do NOT miss a visit to the Golden Temple at Sripuram.
14. Don't go back to chittor and take NH 4 from Sripuram. You can take NH 46 which is a wonderful road back to Bangalore.
All the best and have a safe trip and a wonderful Darshan at all the holy places

Very useful post. The Freedom Park in Bangalore is a tribute to freedom fighters of the country, who were imprisoned in this very spot. The park was inaugurated by L.K. Advani. During the emergency of 1977, political leaders like Ramakrishna Hegde, AB Vajpayee and Deve Gowda were also imprisoned in this jail. Explore more about freedom park also.
