  Adivo Alladivo Sri
Hari vasamu...
For those of you who would like
to climb the hills to Tirumala to fulfil a vow, there
are two well-laid stone footpaths leading to Tirumala.
These paths are called sopanamargas.
The more ancient of the two sopanamargas
which starts from Alipiri at the foot of the hills,
is about 11 km in length, and is the commonly-used route.
The other sopanamarga (Srivari mettu) from
Chandragiri, though only about 6 km in length.
1.Token facility is provided for pedestrian who come on foot to Tirumala through Gali Gopuram or Srivari Mettu.
2.Bio-Metric counters are established on these foot paths, to facilitate free darshan, free accommodation (P.A.C.) and free food facilities at Tirumala.
TTD provides several facilities
to piligrims who walk up the hills to Tirumala.
APSRTC runs free buses from
the Tirupati Railway station to Alipiri, with a frequency
of 30 minutes. Pilgrims who intend to walk up the hills
to Tirumala can use these buses.
