    If you’re starting from the Tirupati bus depot, catching the 6 am bus gives you a 45 minute ride that keeps you out of the heat before the fort opens. If you prefer a quicker hop, a cab from the airport takes about 35 minutes and drops you right at the base of the hill. Bring a light hat, carry a refillable bottle, and stick to the shaded walkways near the main gate until the sun climbs. Afterward, the Alexander Luxury Hotel in Anantapur is a convenient spot to unwind. TravelIndiaDeals may earn a commission if you book through this link.
