The guest house is about 2.5km from the centre of Tirupati. In the evenings I usually went to the Sindhuri Park hotel for dinner [Strictly Veg], near top right of map below. I often had to walk the first km to get an auto ride into town. The town starts at Balaji colony, down Prakasam Road, past Town Club to junction with Nethaji Road into Gandhi Road. Turning right at end leads to the Sri Govindaswamy temple area, the station and the nearby Sindhuri Park hotel (there is not park) and the temple tank. |
