I visited Tirumala with friends recently. I have been there many times.But this time I felt something exciting and different apart from piligrimage. We had time after our darshan to explore. We had lunch and then planned to go out for sight seeing. We hired a jeep and visited 3 tourist attractions of Tirumala.
The three places are Sreevari paadalu, Silathoranam and Chakra theertham. The way to Srivari paadalu is one of the most memorable ones. The scenery and view of the main temple made us feel great. I want to upload some of the pics to this post...
After enjoying the scenery of forest in Srivari Paadam, we headed to Silathoranam and Chakra theertham. Silathoranam is the world's second popular natural rock decoration. Scientists and Archaeologists found that, the rocks here are 250 years old..!!
Chakra theertham is at walkable distance from Silathoranam. There is a temple of lord Shiva (swayambu). There was a rocky pathway to reach the temple. Chakra theertham is a waterfalls with clear and splashy waters..
Last but not the least, one of my friends has good photography skills.I uploaded some of his pics in this post. A special thanks to him from my side...Great friends with Great skills are making my life happier every day...
The last pic I uploaded has two giant squirrels almost in the size of a monkey with long tails playing on a tree.This was really unbelievable and I felt it was some super natural creature when I saw them for the first tym....Had a great travel experience, learnt new things while exploring....memorable trip it was..!!
