Getting from Tirupati railway station, bus stand or airport to Tiruchanoor Road
The hotel is under 4 km from the railway station and the Central Bus Station and about 15 km from Tirupati Airport. Here is how to reach us by auto, cab, city bus or your own car, and what to tell the driver.
Aakarsh Inn is on Tiruchanoor Road, the road that leaves the city centre towards Tiruchanur. The landmark everyone knows is the Starbucks; we are the building right beside it, just past the flyover junction when you come from town.
From Tirupati Railway Station (3.7 km)
- Come out of the main entrance. The prepaid auto counter is outside; take a slip for “Tiruchanoor Road, Starbucks”.
- App cabs and autos also wait at the exit. Ten minutes in normal traffic.
- City buses towards Tiruchanur run along Tiruchanoor Road; ask for the Starbucks stop. Slower with luggage, but cheap.
The TTD complexes Vishnu Nivasam (opposite the station) and Srinivasam (near the bus station) are where SSD tokens are issued, so if you plan to collect tokens on arrival you can do it before coming to the hotel.
From the APSRTC Central Bus Station (3.4 km)
Autos and cabs wait at the bus station exit. Say “Tiruchanoor Road, Starbucks”. About ten minutes. If you are coming from Chennai, Bengaluru or Hyderabad by night bus, you will arrive here before dawn. Reception is staffed 24 hours, so there is someone at the desk at 4 AM, and your luggage can be kept at reception. Check-in is from 12 noon; ring us before you travel if you want to know how early a room is likely to be ready.
From Tirupati Airport, Renigunta (about 15 km)
Prepaid taxi and app cabs are available at arrivals. The drive is 25 to 30 minutes via the Renigunta road into the city and then Tiruchanoor Road. Tell the driver “Tiruchanoor Road, near Starbucks and Fortune Select Grand Ridge”.
By car
- From the Chennai side (NH 716 via Renigunta): enter the city on the Renigunta road and follow signs for Tiruchanur; we are on Tiruchanoor Road just past the flyover junction.
- From the Bengaluru side: come through Chandragiri into the city and continue towards Tiruchanur.
- From the Hyderabad or Kadapa side: enter via the Tirumala bypass and turn towards Tiruchanoor Road.
- Free parking on site. Tell us your arrival time if you are bringing more than one vehicle.
Going the other way
For your departure, autos are easy to get on Tiruchanoor Road at any hour, and we can book a cab to the station or airport the evening before. Allow 20 minutes to the station on a festival morning and 40 minutes to the airport.
