Editor’s Note — Tirupati Ground Transport Update, April 2026

As of April 2026, pilgrims arriving at Tirupati Railway Station (TPTY) or Renigunta Airport (TIR) continue to have multiple onward options to Tirumala. TTD-operated buses run regularly from the Alipiri bus stand and the Sri Govindaraja Swamy Temple complex in Tirupati town, while APSRTC also operates frequent services up the ghat road. Pilgrims opting for the traditional padayatra can start at Alipiri Mettu or the shorter Srivari Mettu footpath (Srinivasa Mangapuram side).

  • SRIVANI, Protocol, and SSD pilgrims should verify the current queue entry point and reporting time on tirumala.org.
  • For live bus/queue updates and official alerts, follow news.tirumala.org.

Carry a valid photo ID and your booking confirmation at every checkpoint.
