How can a solo traveller keep costs low while visiting Sri Kodanda Rama Swamy Temple?

Taranjeet Phadke · 2 days ago ·7 replies

I’m a solo traveller planning a short visit to the Sri Kodanda Rama Swamy Temple in Andhra Pradesh. The temple is open 24 hours and free to enter, so I can drop in at any time. I’m wondering how to arrange affordable transport from Tirupati Airport or the nearest bus stop, and what budget‑friendly lodging options exist nearby. Any tips on saving money while still enjoying the temple’s serene atmosphere?

From Tirupati Airport you can catch a local bus to Nellore town and then a shared auto or a short taxi ride to the temple. If you prefer a bit more comfort, the Inn The Centre in Nellore is only about 0.6 km from the temple and offers basic rooms at a budget price. Staying there keeps you close to the temple and nearby eateries, so you can spend most of your time in quiet prayer without extra travel hassle.

You could take a local bus from Tirupati Airport to Nellore and then hop on a shared auto that takes you straight to the temple. If you want a cheap stay, the Inn The Centre is only 0.6 km away and has basic rooms that fit most budgets. It’s close enough that you can walk to the temple and back without needing a taxi. The auto fare from the bus stop to the temple is usually under a few rupees.

If you want to cut the cost, take the 6:30 am bus from Tirupati Airport to Nellore. From the bus stop, a shared auto to the temple usually costs under ₹10. After visiting, you can stay at Inn The Centre it’s only 0.6 km away, so you can walk in and out without extra transport. The hotel offers simple rooms and a free breakfast, which keeps your daily expenses low.

If you’re flying into Tirupati, the 6:30 am bus to Nellore is a good pick. From the bus stop, a shared auto to the temple usually costs under ₹10, and you can walk back from the temple to the bus stop in about fifteen minutes. For a cheap stay, Inn The Centre is just 0.6 km from the temple, so you’ll spend minimal time traveling and more time in quiet prayer.

A quick local taxi from Tirupati Airport to the Nellore bus stand costs only a couple of hundred rupees, then the 6:30 am bus takes you straight to the temple. Afterward, Hotel Park Inn Nellore, just under a kilometre away, offers decent rooms and a complimentary breakfast, keeping your daily spend low while you’re close to the shrine.
