FAQs

Is travel from Chennai to Tirupati included?
No. Travel between Chennai and Tirupati is booked and paid for by you. The package covers everything from your arrival in Tirupati: hotel, local cab, darshan tickets and a dedicated guide. Meals are not included.
Can we do Tirupati as a day trip from Chennai instead?
You can, but it is rushed. The Anubhava is three unhurried days covering Kanipakam, Tirumala, Padmavati and Srikalahasti with a guide, so the darshan is not squeezed between two long journeys.

Hotel stay, a cab for local transport through the whole trip, darshan tickets, a dedicated trip guide and the guided experience. Meals are not included.
What is the cancellation policy?
No charge if you cancel more than 45 days before travel; 25% of the package cost between 45 and 30 days; 50% between 30 and 15 days; non-refundable within 15 days or for a no-show. Full terms are on the Terms of Service page.
