Tucked amidst the serene hills of Andhra Pradesh, Tirumala Temple, the sacred abode of Lord Venkateswara, welcomes millions of devotees each year. Among these spiritual seekers are thousands of Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) and foreign nationals who journey from faraway lands to offer their prayers. Recognizing their devotion and unique travel circumstances, Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams has introduced the Supadam Entry – an exclusive and efficient access point for NRI and foreigner darshan at Tirumala.
In this blog, we explore how to plan your NRI Darshan from Bangalore Airport, the benefits of TTD’s services for international devotees, and how to book your Supadam Entry tickets hassle-free.
Many international devotees fly into Kempegowda International Airport (Bangalore), which serves as a popular gateway for the Tirupati Balaji Darshan. From here, NRI Darshan tour packages are available that include:
These tour packages are ideal for international pilgrims who prefer a seamless, pre-arranged pilgrimage experience.
The Supadam Gate is a VIP entrance located near the Vaikuntam Queue Complex. It’s designated for specific categories, including:

There are multiple ways to secure Supadam Darshan tickets:
1. On-the-Spot at Supadam Gate
NRIs and foreigners can walk in between 12:00 PM – 5:00 PM with valid documents. However, entry depends on the daily quota.
2. Tirupati NRI Darshan Online Booking via Travel Agencies
Due to limited online access for foreign nationals on the TTD official website, many prefer trusted travel agents who have authorized booking rights and offer packages including:
3. TTD Website (When Available)
On rare occasions, the TTD portal lists NRI slots under the special darshan services section. Devotees must register, upload documents, and secure a slot.
TTD offers specific lodging facilities to international devotees:
In addition, star hotels in Tirupati offer comfortable stays for those preferring private accommodations. Early booking is recommended, especially during peak seasons and religious festivals.
Tirumala is not just a temple — it's an emotion for millions. With the Supadam Entry, priority services, and personalized tour packages, TTD ensures that NRI and foreign devotees receive not only a sacred darshan but also an experience that is dignified, respectful, and spiritually enriching.
