You could aim for the 5:30 am bus from the Tirupati depot it arrives around 6:15 am, so you’ll be on the hill before the sun gets too high. If you take a cab from the airport, ask the driver to stop at the small tea stall under the banyan tree on the ascent; it’s a cool break spot locals use before the main walls. This way you beat the midday heat and the crowds.
