The Ghat Roads are a series of winding mountain roads that link the city of Tirupati to the hilltop town of Tirumala. As you ascend or descend these roads, you are treated to stunning panoramic views of the Eastern Ghats, with lush forests and deep valleys unfolding below. The journey itself is an experience, with numerous hairpin bends and scenic viewpoints that make it a memorable drive. Many visitors pause at designated spots to capture photographs of the dramatic landscape, especially during sunrise or sunset when the hills are bathed in golden light.
