    If you’re arriving late afternoon, the best bet is to head out around 4 or 5 pm. Most local buses to Hiriyur depart every hour after that, and the last one usually leaves around 7 pm, so you can still catch the evening light over the lake. The roads are well maintained and traffic is light after 5 pm, so you’ll find the journey smooth. If you want a more relaxed schedule, consider taking a shared taxi instead of a bus; they usually leave a few times a day and can be booked a day ahead. This way you won’t have to wait for the next bus after you arrive.
