    If you’re heading from the Tirupati bus depot, catching the 45 minute 6:00 am bus keeps you cool until the fort opens. From the airport, a 35 minute cab drop right at the base saves you waiting. Pack a lightweight scarf or bandana to shade your face, and consider stopping for a quick break at a nearby tea stall on the way up many locals recommend a small, cool spot under the banyan tree just before the main gate. If you plan to stay overnight, the Alexander Luxury Hotel in Anantapur is a convenient option a short drive away.
