Hi
The car was parked inside Bhima residency. This is the best place to stay and park your car if u plan to climb the Thirumala Hill .

Alternatively u can first climb the hill in the car , park it in a safe place , come down in a bus and can then start climbing . This way u will have ur own car for the return trip down the hill once u have finished darshan .

With at least 3-4 Hrs needed for climbing the hill and adding the waiting for the darshan time , its better to have ur own vehicle in Thirumala then Thirupathi .

When you proceed from the Tirupati main bus stand to Alipiri by just few hundred meters, you can see a Choultry(Srinivasa Choultry i guess) at your right side. You can park your car there, and it is quite safe.

It is paid parking.
