💡 Travel Tips
💰 Stay in nearby Hindupur town (30km away) where accommodation is significantly cheaper than tourist hotspots, then take a local bus or shared auto to Lepakshi for just ₹50-100 per trip.
📅 October to February is ideal as the weather is cool and pleasant, making temple exploration comfortable. Avoid May to September due to intense heat and monsoon rains that can hinder sightseeing.
