    A good rule of thumb is to start before the sun climbs too high around 8 am so you can walk the 45 minute route with the kids without the midday heat and crowds. If you need a quick lunch, the beachside café right at the entrance offers simple dosas and idlis that kids usually love. After the walk, a short drive to the Pai Viceroy Hotel in Tirupati gives you a comfortable spot for a family meal, and the hotel’s on site restaurant is convenient for a relaxed lunch.
