Hi Everyone, I need some information about going to Tirupati/Tirumala. Our main purpose of the trip is to visit tirumala for hair shaving (tonsuring) of our 2 year old kid and darshan. I need some suggestions to plan out the trip keeping in mind a 2 years olds activities & food. I plan to drive from Bangalore during day time and checkin to a good hotel there at tirupati and then plan for darshan the next day early morning time if feasible. We can stay for 1 more night and start the next day back to Bangalore after finishing darshan. Please provide some tips on
Thanks Samsan02 |

It is better to stay at tirumala. try for online booking of cottages. Rs 1000/2000 cottages may be available. You can get the head tonsured at the cottage itself and bath the kid and then enter the que. better to go on tuesday or wednesday Accommodation at Tirumala |

1) After booking the cottage online, do we have to redeem the online receipt with the actual booking receipt once we reach Tirumala? If so, where should we go to redeem the same? 2) Also, since there are so many cottages, how do we know which cottage has been allocated to us so that it will be easy for us to go there? |

Sometime(2-3 years) back when I used this option, we had to go to the Central reservation counter and give the internet receipt, and they would give you the allocation. May be the same process now. Details will be given in your receipt. |

Just an additional note when you get an allocation from CRO. Sometimes the allocation is quite far from temple. Like some cottages are near to the entrance where footpath ends or bus stand or even backside of temple. It depends on various factors like the crowd , any religious festival days, weekends etc... And there is also a luck factor. Hope you get the one near to temple, else you have to walk a lot to reach the temple/Q entrance. -Ravi |

Internet reservation has to be converted in to actual allocation at CRS(central reservation centre). It is near the bus stand on the main road.Internet reservation does not allocate rooms. it only reserves one for you. CRS allocates actual room as per current vacancy in that category. Do not bother about distance. You can park car near cottage and also come in car to vaikuntam complex. there is a big parking place behind vaikuntam complex. park car there and enter the Q while going back just go through the south mada street and take a left or you can reach this parking lot even from laddu counter through west mada street. check the google maps for tirumala. both the parking lot and the link route to are clearly marked one can reach this parking lot either through alwar tank side or through SV museum side |

Guys, Thanks for your inputs. Once we book the room online and get the receipt, is it 100% confirmed that the room will be allocated to us at the CRO? Are there any chances that the CRO may come up saying that the rooms are not available inspite of we booking it online well in advance? Just wanted to make sure that we are not left on the roads with our families with no rooms after reaching there Regards, Kiran |

Once room is reserved in Internet you are 100% sure that a room will be allotted. for your convenience better book for tuesday/wednesday. Thurusday and friday rush will be there at Tiruchanur temple (laxmi temple). Satday auspicious for venketeswara temples. |
