Re: Route : Sri Kalahasti from Bangalore?

Had been to SriKalahasti yesterday, route taken was :
Hebbal >>KR Puram>>Kolar>> Chitoor>>Tirupati>>SriKalahasti. Roads are pretty good and you will have toll roads till Chitoor and after that it becomes single lane. Was not able to take the bypass road so not sure if it would have saved time or distance.

Re: Route : Sri Kalahasti from Bangalore?

try the route via hoskote, chintamani, madanapalle, tirupati and kalahasti. Hoskote to Tirupati route is good compared to the route via kolar and chittoor.

I am planning to take the route as posted above by mahesh:

Bangalore - Hoskote - Kolar - Chitoor - Tirupati bye-pass (Chennai highway) - Srikalahasti.
Hi Guru,

Did you visit the temple as planned? How was the roads? Are there any staying options at Srikalahasti?

Thanks
Vivek

I don't think there are any problems with road conditions to Srikalahasti temple
You may be better off staying at Tirupati and traveling to Srikalahasti since there are more options. Bheemas has couple of hotels in Tirupati that are very good.

Hi Vivek,
Yes I did visit the temple as planned and the roads were in decent shape but might not be as good now considering the fact that it has been raining heavily in bangalore, chennai and hyderabad too. If you are planning for a trip this month or next month please check about the road conditions.

Hebbal >>KR Puram>>Kolar>> Chitoor>>Tirupati>>SriKalahasti

From bangalore till chitoor roads are good but it becomes single lane from chitoor.

Also just before Tirupati there is a deviation to the left which is Tirupati bypass if you want to skip Tirupati and reach SriKalahasti directly. There are many hotels nearby and am sure you can find a good one.

Need suggestions for accommodation at Kalahasti, pls


Btw, the route from Bangalore would be a no-brainer ?

Biggest one there is MGM Grand, which is close to the temple. So you can pretty much walk to the temple from there.

If Chittoor route 4-laning had been complete. For now I'd suggest between:

1. Bangalore-Krishnagiri-Ranipet-Sholinghur-Arakkonam-Tiruttani-Renigunta-Kalahasti
2. Bangalore-Krishnagiri-Kanchipuram-Arakkonam-Tiruttani-Renigunta-Kalahasti

Re: Route : Sri Kalahasti from Bangalore?

Hello All,
I am planning to visit Srikalahasti on coming Friday.
Can you please assist me the following information:

1. Is there any requirement for RT-PCR Negative Report and/or E-Pass?

2. Which route should I take? I will be traveling from Electronic City, South Bangalore.

3. Kindly assist me with some pit-stops enroute as I would be traveling with a senior citizen who is also diabetic - which means will need to stop for food as well as for bio-breaks.

Kindly suggest.

Thanks in advance!

Re: Route : Sri Kalahasti from Bangalore?

Did a reverse of this route on Tuesday. Kalahasti to Bangalore. Left Kalahasti at 4PM and reached Bangalore at 8:30 PM thanks to the abyssmal traffic after entering bangalore.
Few things to note.
Roads from Temple till tirupathi byapass is very bad as constructions are going on all round. This applies on both sides to and fro. Post that roads until Chitoor are super good with one or two small deviations. Chitoor to Mulbagal are 4 lane NH but white topped roads and i was not a big fan due to the wobbly nature of my ride. Post that there are some deviations when nearing Kolar and smooth sailing there on.
