Tirupati (Tirumala)

Tirupati (Tirumala)

Tirupati is a paramount holy destination located in the Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh, known for hosting the Sri Venkateswara Temple on the high-altitude Tirumala Hills. The sacred peaks comprise seven scenic ridges representing the hoods of the cosmic serpent Adisesha. The entire pilgrimage ecosystem is managed with extraordinary precision by the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams trust, welcoming tens of millions of devotees annually. From the organized multi-tier darshan waiting complexes to the distribution of the world-famous, GI-tagged Tirupati Laddu prasad, the hilltop shrine takes more pilgrims, and more money, than almost any other on earth.

Araku Valley

Araku Valley

Araku Valley is a lush coffee-growing hill region in the Eastern Ghats near Visakhapatnam, reached by one of India's most scenic train journeys through tunnels and viaducts. Known for tribal culture, coffee plantations, waterfalls and the Borra Caves, it is Andhra's favourite hill escape.

Lepakshi

Lepakshi

Lepakshi, in Andhra Pradesh's Sri Sathya Sai district, is known for the 16th-century Veerabhadra Temple, a masterpiece of Vijayanagara architecture. It is famed for its intricately carved pillars, vivid ceiling frescoes, a giant monolithic Nandi bull nearby and the mysterious hanging pillar that barely touches the ground.

Gandikota

Gandikota

Gandikota, the 'Grand Canyon of India', is a dramatic gorge where the Pennar River cuts through red sandstone cliffs beside a historic fort. Camping on the canyon rim, exploring the old fort and temples, and the sunrise over the gorge have made it a rising offbeat adventure spot.
