Bangalore to Tirupati

gogo_gogo · 7th May 2009, 00:51

Hi guys,

I am sharing my Experience of Bangalore - Tirupati trip which i finished today.

Onward > Bangalore - Hosakote - Kolar - Mulbagal - Palamaner - Chittor - Tirupati - Tirumala

Well, I started at 4 PMTuesday,It took 1 hour to reach Hosakote from Bangalore , due to traffic, after that raods are good but lots of Divertion due to 4 lane expansion, u have to rally watch out while overtaking, u can speed-up to 100 easily on this road, then i remeber i passed railway crossing near by Kolar at 5.36 PM. after that i tool Mulbagal road.. there u have only 2 lane road, still i was driving at 80-100... crossed palamaner ... and reached chittor by 7.30PM.. i took city road and stuck into jam for 30 min, after that i took NH-18 , what a road, 100 KM/h mark.. i checked my swift upto 130 ... really enjoyed... entered tirupati by 8.45 Pm , it was good drive with one break of 15 min to get refresh....

Return > Tirumala - Tirupati (Bypass) - Chittor (Bypass) - Palamaner (Bypass)- Mulbagal (bypass) - Kolar (Bypass) - Hosakote - Bangalore

This was really amazing and took exact 5 hour in day time.

i started from tirumala at 8.45am & reached tirupati in 30 min, then visited Padmavati temple after that i had breakfast, i left tirupati at 10am , and took bypass road.. which merge at NH-18. That road was good , i enjoyed at 100-110, there i saw a board saying chittor is 60KM , finshed that strech in 40 Min, there i took chittor bypass road , not good , u can't drive more than 70 -80... That road took me to Palamaner then mulbagal, i drove almost 100 - 120 on that section, NO LUNCH BREAK in journey... i hit NH4 by 1 PM, From there again i took Kolar bypass reached hosakote by 2 PM.. Again traffic and it took 1 hour to reach my place...

Overall , i had good driving except few Speed breakers [UNSIGNED] , people in village they don't listen HORN.. third, Moped riders, they will wait for u to come and hit , but never leave road... u have to really watch out for those things while passing through village.. other wise

Short & Sweet travelogue Kumar, how about sharing a few pics taken along the journey as well ? How long did the darshan take ?

Good travelogue. Pic

snaronikar · 13th June 2009, 17:12

Nice a crisp write up. Do give some details of booking and how much time you took for darshan and include pics. Then this will be a complete travelogue.

A little too crisp! I had to read it twice to identify what vehicle he drove, overlooked it the first time.

gadadhar · 22nd June 2009, 15:08

Chittor to Tirupathi road is tempting with the 100 kms speed limit markers (can do a cool160 plus), but as mentioned beware of the villagers. More details on Darshan booking and time will help.

For this trip i booked online ticket at Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanams - e-Services three months in advance. i purchased 200 INR ticket and darshan timing was 0530 AM and it took 1.30 hour to finish darshan. There is no commercial hotel overthere, u need to donate money or book from central office nearby temple.
