Planning a visit to the sacred Tirumala Tirupati Balaji Temple? If you are a Non-Resident Indian (NRI) or a Foreign Citizen, you can enjoy a special darshan facility exclusively for NRIs provided by the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD). Known as the TTD NRI Darshan, this service ensures a comfortable and smooth experience for devotees visiting Lord Venkateswara.

At Sri Balaji Travels, we help NRIs with Tirupati NRI Darshan packages, including travel, temple guidance, and complete darshan assistance — making your pilgrimage hassle-free and memorable.
