Cholan Tours became the first tour company to offer this special service in collaboration with the tourism department of Andhra Pradesh. It is one of the most visited Hindu temples from all over India and also by NRIs settled across the world.
K Pandian, Managing Director, Cholan Tours Group informs, “Recent news reports mentioned that on certain days, pilgrims waited for darshan for 20 hours and even people who paid `300 for VIP darshan waited for six hours. Given the fact that mostly family members and elderly people come for Tirupati, these uncertain waiting hours are always a big concern for who wish to do this pilgrimage. Here, we in association with Andhra Pradesh Tourism come with a service of guaranteed special darshan (in maximum two hours’ time) in the morning slot. Those who book with us, will be taken in a group escorted by a guide who will ensure a smooth passage for the tourists-cum-pilgrims.”
He further informs that soon South Tourism will have its own office in Tirupati to ensure better coordination for the clients.
