Tirumala Hills

The Seven Hills of Tirupati come into clear view during the descent, featuring steep cliffs and sacred peaks.

🏙️

Tirupati Cityscape

A panoramic view of the bustling temple city nestled at the base of the towering Seshachalam Hills.

The right side is superior for the approach into Tirupati Airport. During the descent, you get a direct view of the Tirumala hill range. Late afternoon flights are ideal as the setting sun casts a golden glow over the rocky outcrops and temple complexes.
