Combining with Tirumala
Sripuram's darshan hours are 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, daily, which gives a long window after leaving Tirupati.

Independent planning guidance
Darshan time at Tirumala is hard to predict, so plan Sripuram for the following day rather than squeezing it in after Tirumala. If you finish at Tirumala in the morning, an afternoon arrival at Sripuram still leaves time before darshan closes at 8:00 PM.
