Tirupati is one of the most sacred pilgrimage destinations for Hindus worldwide. Lakhs of devotees travel every month to seek blessings of Lord Venkateswara at Tirumala Temple. Among them, a significant number are NRIs and foreign nationals who travel long distances to visit the temple during their short stay in India.

To support overseas devotees, there is a special facility called NRI Darshan, allowing quicker darshan with a dedicated queue system. For NRIs arriving in Tamil Nadu, the most convenient route is through Chennai, due to its international airport connectivity and smooth road network.

To make this journey seamless, several operators offer exclusive NRI Darshan tour packages from Chennai, ensuring stress-free travel, temple guidance, and same-day return. Among them, Padmavathi Travels is considered a trusted name for dedicated Tirupati pilgrimage trips.
