Nandi Hills before the gates get busy: my mist-season Swift plan

Mist season is finally here, so I want to do the Nandi Hills run properly this time instead of rolling up at nine with half of Bengaluru.
The shape of it: out on Bellary Road while it is still dark, FASTag topped up, then the climb from the base. Karnataka Tourism lists the hill open 6 am to 6 pm, and weekends run on a pass and parking system, so being in the queue before sunrise rather than after is the whole game. Coffee up top, idli on the way down, home before the highway thickens.
The ghat stretch is where my little Swift asks for attention. Narrow, blind hairpins, walkers hugging the edge, and that fine mist that turns your windscreen into frosted glass. I keep tyres at 29 PSI cold, make sure the washer bottle is actually full, and hold a low gear on the descent so I am not riding the brakes.
Who here has tacked on a Chikkaballapur loop afterwards? I need a breakfast stop recommendation.
