    A good trick is to start around 6:30 a.m. when the air is cool and the first light makes the stone reliefs look dramatic. The kids usually finish the walk before lunch, so you can grab a quick dosas at the beachside café right by the entrance. If you want a sit down bite after, the Pai Viceroy Hotel Tirupati is a short drive away and has a decent on site restaurant.
