A definitive guide to affordable, spiritual lodging with verified contact details for a peaceful Tirumala pilgrimage.
Finding the right place to stay is a crucial part of your Tirumala pilgrimage. While the TTD runs its own guest houses, many devotees prefer the spiritual simplicity and community atmosphere of mutts (monasteries) and dharmashalas (charitable lodges). These options are not only budget-friendly but often place you within walking distance of the sacred temple.
This guide provides a comprehensive, verified list of mutt accommodations with their phone numbers, along with practical tips to help you secure your stay for a focused and serene spiritual journey.

🛌 Understanding Your Accommodation Options in Tirumala/Tirupati
Tirumala offers a range of stays to suit different needs and preferences:
- Mutts & Dharmashalas (Spiritual & Budget): As listed above, these are ideal for devotees seeking simplicity and a devotional atmosphere. They are very affordable, but facilities are basic (shared bathrooms, simple furnishings). Booking is typically done by direct phone call on a first-come, first-served basis.
- TTD-Run Guest Houses (Book in Advance): For more structured comfort, TTD operates several guest houses like Srinivasam, Vishnu Nivasam, Sri Padmavathi Guest House, and Madhavam. Advance online booking via the TTD portal is essential due to high demand. Detailed guides for each are available on our website, intirupati.in.
- Private Hotels & Lodges (For Amenities): Several private establishments near the bus stand and main roads offer rooms with more amenities (attached bathrooms, room service). These can be booked online through travel websites.
✅ Essential Tips for Booking Your Stay
- Call Well in Advance: Start contacting mutts days or even weeks before your trip, especially if traveling during weekends, festivals, or holidays.
- Be Prepared with Details: When you call, have your planned dates, the number of people in your group, and their names ready.
- Confirm Everything: Clearly ask about the total cost (if any), check-in/check-out times, and any specific rules (e.g., curfews, meal availability).
- Have a Backup List: Mutts fill up quickly. Have the contact numbers for 3-5 preferred options ready to call in sequence.
- For TTD Rooms: If you haven’t booked online, you can try the Central Reception Office (CRO) in Tirumala upon arrival for any last-minute cancellations, but this is not guaranteed.
- Complete Your Pilgrimage Plan: For a seamless trip, use our comprehensive resources on intirupati.in to plan your darshan, seva bookings, and understand temple rituals.
We hope this guide helps you find a peaceful and convenient place to stay, allowing you to focus entirely on the divine experience of Tirumala.
