The gold-covered Sri Lakshmi Narayani temple at Sripuram is one of the most striking day trips from Tirupati. Book the round trip with us and the day becomes simple: door pickup in the morning, a comfortable highway drive into Tamil Nadu, the cab waiting while you walk Sripuram's star-shaped path, and home to Tirupati by night.
Sripuram sits just outside Vellore, across the Andhra–Tamil Nadu border from Tirupati. The temple's main shrine is covered in gold leaf, and the approach winds through a long star-shaped pathway lined with teachings — the walk itself is part of the experience. Weekends and holiday evenings draw the biggest crowds; a weekday morning start from Tirupati usually means an easier visit and a relaxed return. Vellore city also offers a worthwhile add-on stop at its 16th-century fort if your group has the energy.
Sripuram enforces its own campus rules — a modest dress code and restrictions on phones, cameras and some belongings, with lockers at the entry. Rules and timings can change, so check the temple's current guidelines for your date. Many visitors simply leave valuables in the cab with the driver.
Rates include fuel and driver; your Sripuram day is confirmed as one flat fare before you start.
