Vellore to Tirupati, best route?

Hi guys,

I am planning a Tirupati Trip right now, the roads which we went through last year was pathetic, no hope, also the exit from Tirupati had an one way route where we nearly met with an accident with am Innova taxi, he ws rushing like a mad, did'nt wear seatbelts either and was rather going like a mad. So I am planning to use another route. Is there any other route from Vellore to Tirupati for the sake of escaping from the earlier route?

Thanks,

Achyuth

Re: Vellore to Tirupati, best route?

Digging the old thread.

Yesterday I drove from Thiruvannamalai to Tirupathi via Vellore. Once I crossed TN border, 4/6 lane construction is going on and the current road was extremely bad with full of potholes and damages. Moreover there is lot of dust and 99% of the vehicles in the oncoming traffic did not switch to low beam even after multiple requests from my side (I dimmed 2 to 3 times for each vehicle). Trucks and buses were fitted with more than 1 pair of high beam lights. Because of that I could not see the road ahead of me and multiples crashed into potholes and speed breakers .

Could you guys please help me finding an alternate route without potholes (even if distance & time are more) to Tiruvannamalai.

Thanks in advance.

Tirupati-Puttur-Karveti Nagar-Pallipattu-Sholinghur-Walajahpet-Vellore is good roads throughout.

Another option is, Tirupati-Puttur-Karveti Nagar-Pallipattu-GD Nellore-Ponnai-Thiruvalam-Vellore. Roads are not as good as option-1 but not too bad either. Some stretches are desolate with less vehicular movement.

Are you doing return journey in day or night time?

Hi, thanks a lot for your tipp. I did take Tirupathi-Puttur-Pallipattu-Sholinghur-Ranipet-Arani-Thiruvannamalai route. It was SH road but without any potholes and since I drove during night time there was no traffic in the villages/towns along the SH. I would recommend this route even if costs little more time compared to Chittor NH.

Hi, I’m sorry it has been a year and I completely forgot the time taken in that route. But the route was much better than the NH where construction was going on.
