A quick tip if you’re heading from Tirupati bus depot is to catch the 5:45 am bus it drops you near the fort by 6:30 am, before the main crowd and the heat peaks. On the way up, stop at the shaded tea stall under the banyan tree; locals say the breeze there is a real refresher. If you want a place to cool off after the walk, the Alexander Luxury Hotel in Anantapur is a convenient spot a short drive away.
