If you are planning a visit to the hill shrine of Tirumala (Andhra Pradesh) and looking for comfortable, convenient accommodation, one option is the Hathiramji Mutt. This guide covers everything you need to know about the rooms, booking process, rates and practical tips.

What is Hathiramji Mutt?

The Hathiramji Mutt is one of the traditional religious institutions on the Tirumala hill facing the main temple area. Although not operated by the temple trust, it provides lodging to pilgrims. It is located conveniently near the main temple complex, making it a well-known option for those seeking accommodation on the hill.

Location & Contact

The mutt is located in Tirumala, Andhra Pradesh. One commonly listed phone number for bookings is 0877-2220015.
Another contact listed in some directories is 0877-22277240.
Because details may change, it is best to call ahead to confirm availability, eligibility and conditions.

Booking & Eligibility

• The Hathiramji Mutt accommodation is not part of the official temple-trust (Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams) online booking system.
• Rooms are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis in many cases. Some websites note that online booking may be unavailable for the mutt, and direct contact is required.
• Eligibility: Some mutts (including Hathiramji) may give priority to devotees belonging to particular communities or associations. Always check when you contact.
• On arrival: If you arrive early (especially in the morning), chances of securing a room are higher. If full, consider staying off-hill (in Tirupati town) and commuting.
• Always carry valid photo ID and check room rules (vacating time, extension charges etc). The official TTD page for accommodation warns about penalties for overstaying (though this may apply to TTD-run housing) but is a useful awareness.

Rates & Amenities

• Exact rates specific to Hathiramji Mutt are not always clearly published online. Some sources indicate that these mutt‐rooms provide basic amenities only (bed, water, electricity) and may not be “full-fledged family” accommodation.
• For context: On the TTD-run rest-houses in Tirumala, rates per day vary (e.g., one official list shows A/C suites at Rs 2,500, non-A/C at Rs 500 etc).
• Given that Hathiramji Mutt operates independently and primarily for pilgrims, you may expect modest charges (or possibly nominal) compared to commercial lodging — but you should confirm at time of booking.
• Because amenities are basic, expect less in terms of extras (e.g., no room service, limited luxury). Check the terms when you arrive.

Practical Tips for Pilgrims

• Book early: On weekends or festivals, hill accommodation fills up quickly. If you’re unable to get a room at the mutt, consider staying in Tirupati town and making the early morning ascent.
• Arrive early in the day: If you show up early at the mutt reception, you are likelier to secure a room.
• Check vacation/overstay rules: Some accommodation units require vacating within 24 hours. Overstaying may incur penalties. While specific to TTD-run units, similar discipline may apply.
• Eligibility check: Ask if your community or group qualifies for the mutt’s lodging. If not, ask for alternate suggestions.
• Carry alternate options: Just in case your preferred lodging is full, keep a list of other mutts or guest houses (there are many in Tirumala) and consider staying off-hill as a backup.
• Check amenities & conditions: Verify bedding, water supply, electricity, sanitation, and whether the room is shared dormitory or private.
• Budget accordingly: Since amenities are basic, you may want to allocate part of your budget for comfort if travelling with family.
• Respect mutt rules and timings: As a religious institution, expect some rules regarding behaviour, quiet time, etc.

Why Choose Hathiramji Mutt?

• Location: Being on the hill close to the main temple makes it convenient for pilgrims wanting to stay near the darshan area.
• Spiritual ambiance: Staying in a mutt often provides a more devotional atmosphere compared to generic hotels.
• Affordability: Potentially lower cost than commercial hotels given its pilgrim-oriented nature.
• Community-oriented service: For devotees belonging to the specific community linked to the mutt, this can be a preferred choice.

Final Checklist Before You Go
