Now I got scared by reading posts about theTirupati streach. I have once been to Kolar in day time. Been to Goa and Kanyakumari in full night drive, but the point is those roads were 4 lane but NH4 is not. and then there are some turning points to remember following road to Tirupati, need some reference from you guys to be on the exact road.

Thanks,

I would have helped you in sorting out all your troubles with the Tirupati route. But since you live in Electronic City, i would sugest just boom on the GQ route to Chennai. Drive fast and you should be in Chennai in 4 hours easily, and then another 1-2 hours to reach Naidupet. That is about the same time you would take on the Tirupati route too, so why waste your energy on the 2-lane roads.
