If ur main purpose is to visit Tirupati & arriving at Channai then first U can visit Channai & Madurai for 2 days Pondicherry & Rameshwaram for 2 days by hired taxi & leave for Tirupati by night with prior booked night tourist bus with package tour which would include darshan, food, site seeing & stay. By 8th Oct. U should be able to leave for Lucknow. Have all the booking prior so that U get value for the time & money spent. U can dial " Just Dial Tele.No. 39999999 " for any help 24 hrs a day. Weather should be fine as winter is setting in & if the time does not permit U can skip Pondicherry but don't miss to visit Rameshwaram, Chennai Marina Beach & temples, Madurai Meenakshi Temple in Madurai.

You have 6 days actually, so you can visit the following places
1) Thirupathi
2) Pondichery - including spots along ECR - Mahabalipuram incl.
3) Tanjore, Kumbakonam, Thiruvarur (temple towns)

Try taking an overnight train to the last 3 places. You can cover all these in 5 days, with one rest day.

You can do this and depends on budget to spend on different types of Transportation.
You can go to Tirupathi by flight. After Tirupathi, you can cover all other places very comfortably. You can engage a private taxi to cover those places and in time according to your plan.

7,8 Oct â€“ Yellagiri (Hill station)

This hill-station is 3-4 hours drive from Chennai and is at a height of 920m above sea level. It is one of the quieter hill destinations of Tamil Nadu and is surrounded by orchards, rose-gardens and green valleys. The up-hill drive, with 14 hair-pin bends, takes you through some spectacular scenery. Yellagiri is basically a cluster of villages surrounded by four hills. The main settlements are at Athnavur and Nilavur. A peaceful and unexplored area, the destination has not been commercialised, and offers you a picturesque and unpolluted ambience.

Sightseeing Highlights:

Punganur Lake is a manmade lake with a pretty garden surrounding it. The boat club here offers pedal and motor boat rides. The area is a favourite haint of bird-watchers. There is a children's park and a mini-zoo next door.

Velvan Temple situated on top of a hill, is another attraction of the town. The presiding deity is Lord Murugan and there is a huge sculpture of Gadothgajan at the entrance. In July and August several colourful festivals and fairs are organised here, where you can see the local culture.

Jalagamparai Waterfalls is a steep trek downhill of around 5km. The lush green surroundings and small hamlets on the way add to the scenic beauty. However, there is water in the falls only after the monsoons, so trekking here in summers may not be worth the effort.

You can include Mahabalipuram, Pondicherry and also Kanchipuram.
I would suggest hire a car. That way it's going to be faster and flexible.
