Tirupati is a very sacred place for Hindus and millions devotees from all over the world flock to seek blessings of Lord Venkateshwara, the reigning deity of the seven hills of Tirumala. Since the temple is crowded all through the year, finding accommodation here becomes very difficult, unless you reserve your stay well in advance. This stands true despite the fact that there are numerous government and private Tirupati hotels which have been established for the benefit of the devotees.
More than five thousand Tirupati hotels inns, cottages and choultries have been provided here. Public amenity complexes are a special feature in Tirupati. Here, you can avail dormitory like accommodation with secure locker facility. While there are luxury hotels in Tirupati, you also have a wide range of medium to budget class hotels which provide excellent and cost effective accommodation facility. Deluxe hotels here offer suit rooms for lesser than INR1000 along with all other facilities such as shopping arcade, swimming pool, restaurants and safe deposit lockers. Non vegetarian food and alcohol is not allowed in Tirupati hotels which are located on the hills near the temple.
While Tirupati is the religious abode, Mysore is the royal center. While camping out at Mysore hotels, you can visit the grand Mysore Palace, Brindavan gardens, Chamundi betta, Mysore zoo and Philomena Church. Mysore hotels give you comfortable accommodation within your budget range. Also, you have a wide range of accommodation options to choose from, ranging from 5 star luxuries to clean budget hotels. You also find heritage Mysore hotels. Several resorts and hotels in Mysore provide special ayurvedic treatment packages which are very rejuvenating and refreshing.
Another thing to experience in Mysore is its rich cuisine. Typically served on freshly cut banana leaves, the traditional spread consists of a variety of dishes. Coconut is generously used in the food along with tamarind and chilies. The cuisine is a mix of Karnataka and Kerala cuisines. Mysore pak, the famous sweet cake, is a legacy of this place. Besides traditional fare, there are numerous hotels which offer multi-cuisine foods.
Shimla is a place which is completely different from both Mysore and Tirupati. It is a lovely hill station and the capital of Himachal Pradesh. Shimla has a very charming architecture which transports you to Europe. Since it was the summer capital of the British, several government buildings and other structures have been built according to European architecture. When you visit the place, you can book into one of the heritage Shimla hotels and enjoy the European ambiance of the place while drinking in the gorgeous mountain views.
Places which you can visit in Shimla are the Mall road, Shimla ridge, Shimla Glen, Viceregal lodge, Jakhu temple, Kinnaur, Tara Devi temple and so many other places. The natural scenic beauty here is the biggest attraction of all. Shimla hotels offer lovely views of the far away hills. You have Shimla hotels in all budget ranges and can choose one based on your convenience. Hotels here also provide tourist packages and arrange local transport.
