    If you’re aiming for the best mix of cooler weather and a longer twilight, late October to early November is ideal. The rains finish around then, so the lake looks especially lush and the sunset usually comes around 6:30 pm, giving you plenty of time to enjoy the view after you arrive. The bus timetable stays reliable after 5 pm, and a shared taxi can be booked a day ahead to avoid any waiting. If you stay near Tirupati, the Pai Viceroy Hotel Tirupati is a convenient base.
