[Venkatsriram]

I am planning for Mantralayam trip from chennai this weekend Jan 23rd. Any route recommendations and road conditions

Google map says tirutani, tirupati, cuddapah, Nandyala, kurnool.

 

I also want to break the journey in 2 parts so that I can drive safely. Any hotel recommendations..

Roads are good on this route. It is the best route to take. I think there is no need to take a halt. Start early in the morning. If you planning for a halt Kurnool is the best option.

How many days are you planning?

You can actually do this in a single go as the roads are good throughout.. But if you might want to break this into 2 days, You can stop by Tirupati for a day for the darshan or Kadapa for a night and do it leisurely..

Kadapa doesn’t have great accommodation options, You can check out Sreenivasa Residency which is a decent one of the lot.

I am planning to drive by road to Mantralayam. 

Is Chennai Via Gudur a good route or
Via Tirupathi a better option.
