Chandragiri is located 14 kms south of the famous Hindu pilgrimage centre of Tirupati.

The empire contributed vastly to Telugu culture, art & literature. The surrounding country is fertile & picturesque - with interesting archaeological remains. The last capital of Vijayanagar kings was Chandragiri in Chittoor District. Ruins of the fort exist to this day & amidst them stand the palaces that have been given a facelift. The fort stands next to a huge rock and is just 12 kms from the temple town of Tirupati.

AP Tourism has put together a unique show at Chandragiri to relive the glory of the Vijayanagar Empire. The show in English starts at 8 pm in the evening and tickets are priced at Rs. 30 for adults and Rs. 20 for children.

 alycat Says:  Great service at reasonable price. Neat and whats surprising is that it is located in a residental area, so you wont find the regular headcahes of traffic and people selling thier wares on your face when you get out of your room.Rs 600 for an AC double bed
