Srivari Mettu Footpath

Srivari Mettu Footpath is a pedestrian pilgrimage route to the Tirumala Venkateswara Temple in Tirupati District, Andhra Pradesh, starting near Srinivasa Mangapuram in Chandragiri. Spanning about 2.1 kilometres with 2,388 stone steps through the Seshachalam hills, it is the shorter of the two Tirumala footpaths. Restored and opened by Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams in 2008, it offers a forested, sheltered trek and Divya Darshan access for foot pilgrims.

Visitors can expect a stepped stone pathway of 2,388 steps covering about 2.1 km through forested slopes of the Seshachalam hills. The route is sheltered with covered roofing for most of the stretch, with rest sheds, drinking water points, toilets and security checkpoints along the way. Pilgrims walk uphill to Tirumala, passing scenic hill views and forest surroundings, and can obtain Divya Darshan tokens at the base counter for special darshan at the Tirumala temple.
