You could try the 5:45 am bus from the Tirupati depot; it arrives just before 6:30 am, so you beat the main crowd. If you’re already near the airport, a cab takes about 35 minutes and you can stop at the tea stall under the banyan tree on the ascent for a quick shade break. After the walk, a short drive to Alexander Luxury Hotel in Anantapur gives a cool place to rest.
