How to go to tirupati from coimbatore (either by Train or by Bus).

Question

Hi,

I have to attend an interview in Coimbatore. I am from Hyderabad and I am new to Coimbatore. In my return journey I want to go to Tirupati. My interview is scheduled 10.30 am in the morning. The interview might be finished by 14.00.

What is the distance between Tirupati and Coimbatore & what would be the journey time. Can anyone suggest me the best possible way to go to Tirupati either by Bus or Train.

Answer 2

Get a train from Coimbatore to Renigunda. Most of the north bound trains will go via Renigunda. Get down at Renigunda railway station.It is about 40 km from Renigunda to Tirupati. You can get a bus service even to Thirumala from Renigunda. The other way if you want to go by road, you can get plenty of buses from Coimbatore to Trupati via Krishnagiri, which is an excellent four lane road. But if you want to have dharsan you have to book for it earlier. Otherwise it is going to be a really tough time for you. Only last Sunday (10.8.2008) I went to Trupati, entered in to temple at 5 am (VIP way) and got dharshan at 9.15 am. More than four hours.
