Well worth the trip to this Hindu temple. It was amazingly beautiful.

Alipiri is the gateway to Thirumala hills. Both for those who go by walk and vehicles as well. A very pleasant place and the view of the mountains is an awesome experience. Here Go Pradhikshana Sala is nearby.

TTD has been maintaining this place and the surroundings pretty well for many years now. Visited this place after a few years and could notice a number of developments.

This statue was very popular in thirupati ... While we r going to thirumala at the entrance we can see this statue ...

Good one, here the people who want to go by steps can drop their luggage at the counters and start their journey. Govinda Govinda

In its garuda status 3600 steps and in between 3-4 km high way are presents. 😌 . . .

Awesome circle. Always there is a lot of movement of vehicles, buses, two wheelers. Be careful when you get down for photography.

Garuda circle... Where the Garuda statue will be there which is the starting point of our journey to tirumala... We have the toll gate here which is the way for bikes, cars, and buses.... And one more way is for the pedestrians who uses the steps way to reach to tirumala....

Tirupati one word explains many magic. All our good wishes becomes true here. Positive vibe. All in one place. You can enjoy the nature by riding through the ghat road or mountain trekking path. Climate is cool and pleasant. Once you see lord Venkateswara and Padmavati thaayar after waiting for long hours you will feel fulfilled and happier. No words to explain. Everyone will feel the magic once you visit Tirupati. Roads are clean and neat. One way for up hill ride and another for down hill ride. They check perfectly to maintain cleanliness and security purposes. Akash ganga must be visited during Tirupati trip. A divine place for refreshment. Bob voyage and have a fulfilled Darshan. Om namo narayanaya.

This is the main entrance to Thirupathi temple and very famous place. From here will start the foot path dharshan.

This is the main point when you go for Tirumala for seeking the blessings of Shri Venkateshwar Swami ji. Here you find APSRTC Buses or Taxi, Jeep to go upside to hills. Many people start their yatra on foot from here. At few distance , security checking is there after that you can continue ur journey to Tirumala. First time , I carried the regional look, shirt with dhoti. I love to visit this place again and again.

Alipiri Padala Mandapam or Alipiri is the place at foot of seven hills in Tirupati, the pilgrim city of Sri Venkateswara Swami. Tirupati Alipiri is one of two ways to reach Tirumala on foot. Alipiri is also the foot of two road ways, one up and one down leading to Tirumala through the Seven Hills. It is therefore called "The Gate Way to Tirumala Venkateswara Temple"

In alipiri is the best place for the foot of seven hills in Tirupati, the pilgrim city of Sri V S Tirupati. Tirumala we can go two ways to reach on foot 🦶 .

It is the entrance of tirumala hill for vheicles towards SRI VENKATESWARA SWAMY VAARI TEMPLE, Tirumala, Tirupati.

Alipiri is the longer route with 3550 steps, Srivari Mettu is shorter with 2388 steps. A long time ago, pilgrims used to climb all Seven Hills through the stepped way on foot because there were no other options.

Very nice place. If youa re coming please book your ticket previously for safe darshan.

It's a Entrance point Of thirumala temple Hills. The Largest karauda welcomes everyone with Namaskar Pose and wide wings and stimulates tirumala darshan devotional feels. So all starts here under the Karudas vision. Once enter the Thirumala just remember the karauda pagvan quots under the reference of karauda Puranam . Pilgrims rest Mandapam is here. In Back of Karuda statue the checkpoint available the timings 3Am to 11 Pm. Footpath also starts here behind the Mandapam under the control of TT Devasthanam . all Pilgrims must surrender the belongings at the check point compulsory. keeps thirupathi clean and neat with natures

UPDATE from April 1, 2023 Divya Darshana for Pedestrians is now OPEN! No need to buy Sarva Darshana Tickets. Alipiri Pathway opens at 4 AM and the enter is on the left side of Garuda Statue. There is a free Dorm Hall for your short stay and Free Luggage Transport facility that opens at around 3-4 AM. Do not keep delicate things in it as it might get broken during transport in lorry. Open bags are also not allowed but this is a great facility if you cover your journey on foot. After SriVari darshana, you submit the token received and get your luggage back. I would recommend physically able pilgrims to take the Alipiri Footpath to reach the temple as you will feel the unparalleled satisfaction of Darshana afterwards. Om Namo Venkateshaya.

Government taking only money , but totally spoiling temple value & zero quality in food & temple premises ! They r treating buissines only , still no wakeup Hindu devotees , Shame & worrying 🤢
