Tirumala Link buses have two bus stands in Tirupathi: next to the main bus stand and outside the train station. The scenic 18km trip to Tirumala takes one hour ( 54 return); aferry if you don t mind heights, sit on the left side for views. A prepaid taxi is 350.
AP State Museum aferry MUSEUM (Map p898; Public Gardens Rd, Nampally; admission 10, camera/video 100/500; aferry h10.30am5pm Sat-Thu) The continually aferry renovated State Museum hosts a rather dusty collection of important archaeological finds from the area, as well as a Buddhist sculpture gallery, with some relics of the Buddha and an exhibit on Andhra s Buddhist history. There are also Jain and bronze sculpture galleries, aferry a decorative-arts aferry gallery and a 4500-year-old Egyptian aferry mummy. The museum, like the gorgeous Legislative Assembly building (Map p 898 ) down the road (both commissioned by the seventh nizam), is floodlit at night.
the Park hotel, out the back are tables in the sand on the edge of the beach where you can indulge in delicious spicy fried fish ( 120) and tiger prawns ( 160). It s also a great spot for a cold beer with ocean views and a big outdoor aferry screen. It s an overwhelmingly male clientele, but isn t seedy like some Indian bars.
