Divyaramam Park Tirupati Timings Entry Fee Location Route Book

SV Divyaramam — popularly known as Divyaramam Park or Nagaravanam — is a landscaped urban forest and nature park on the Alipiri–Kapila Theertham road in Tirupati, at the foothills of the Tirumala hills. It is a free-to-stroll green space best known for its walking and jogging track, native trees, resident and migratory birds, and open family-friendly grounds. It is developed under the government’s urban-forest (Nagara Vanam) initiative and looked after by the Forest Department, and it sits close to the popular Kapila Theertham temple, which makes it an easy add-on for pilgrims and locals alike. It is a recreational green lung, not a temple or a ticketed theme park.

What Divyaramam (Nagaravanam) actually is

Despite the devotional-sounding name, Divyaramam is best understood as a city forest and public park rather than a shrine or a pilgrimage attraction. The name literally means “divine garden,” and the space was created as part of the Andhra Pradesh Nagara Vanam (urban forest) programme to give Tirupati residents and visitors a shaded, biodiverse place to walk, exercise and relax. You will sometimes see it referred to as “SV Divyaramam” (Sri Venkateswara Divyaramam), reflecting its location at the sacred foothills below Tirumala.

A quick note on a common mix-up: some blogs describe Divyaramam as a themed spiritual park depicting the 108 Divya Desams. We could not verify any such theme from reliable sources — the site is documented as a Forest Department urban forest and nature park, not a Divya Desam replica park. TTD separately maintains large horticulture gardens and nurseries in the Tirupati–Tirumala belt (part of its roughly 460-acre garden network that supplies temple flowers), and the Divyaramam name is also linked to that garden landscape, but the public park most visitors mean is the Nagaravanam walking park on Alipiri road.

Divyaramam Park Tirupati — key facts at a glance

Timings

Divyaramam is an open-air park, and the widely reported visiting hours are roughly 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM, every day of the week, with no midday break. Early morning is the busiest and most pleasant window, when walkers, joggers and bird-watchers make the most of the cool air and active birdlife; late afternoon is popular with families. Because the park is community-managed rather than run on a strict, officially published schedule, exact opening and closing times can vary by season and by administrative decisions — it is worth confirming on the ground or with the local Forest Department office before planning an early or late visit.

Entry fee

Historically, Divyaramam has been a largely free public green space, which is part of why it is so popular with local walkers. In practice, coverage of the park is mixed on charges:

• Casual/day visitors: Some listings report a small nominal entry fee (of the order of a few rupees) and a modest four-wheeler parking charge. These figures are not consistently or officially published, so treat them as indicative and confirm at the gate.
• Regular morning walkers: The Forest Department introduced a monthly charge (reported at around Rs 100 per month) for people using the walking track. This move was controversial: in early 2026, walkers’ associations staged protests and a road blockade on Alipiri road arguing that no other Tirupati park charges walkers and that the space should stay freely accessible for public health. Because this fee has been introduced, briefly waived and reinstated, the current position can change — so verify the latest rule locally rather than relying on any single figure.

The bottom line: you do not need to book or pay online in advance for a normal visit; any charges are collected on site and are modest.

What you can see and do

Divyaramam packs a surprising amount of nature into an easy city-edge setting. Typical highlights reported by visitors include:

• Walking and jogging track: the main draw — a maintained loop under tree cover, ideal for morning and evening exercise.
• Birds and greenery: a variety of resident and migratory birds, with native trees tended by the Forest Department; simple touches like hung water pots and bottles are used to help birds through the dry months.
• Scenic backdrop: close-up views of the Tirumala hills rising just behind the park, making it a good spot for photos.
• Family features: a children’s play zone, wooden bridges and photo points, and — as reported at times — a boat ride and a small food court. Facilities can be added or paused, so expect some variation.
• Seasonal waterfalls: during and just after the monsoon, small waterfalls in the surrounding foothills near Kapila Theertham can be visible, adding to the setting.

It is a relaxed, low-key destination — think fresh air, birdsong and a walk under the hills rather than rides and attractions.

How to reach Divyaramam Park

The park lies on the Alipiri–Kapila Theertham road in Tirupati, on the way toward Alipiri junction (where the Tirumala foot-path and the ghat road begin). It is very close to the well-known Kapila Theertham temple, so many visitors combine the two.

• From Tirupati railway station / RTC bus stand: roughly 3–4 km; auto-rickshaws, city buses and taxis are readily available toward Kapila Theertham / Alipiri.
• From Tirupati (Renigunta) airport: approximately 15–17 km by road.
• By own vehicle: head toward Alipiri and follow signs for Kapila Theertham; on-site four-wheeler parking is generally available for a small charge.
• On foot: it is walkable from the Kapila Theertham area, making it easy to fold into a Kapila Theertham visit or an Alipiri walk.
