Accomodation at Srsailam is available in AP tourist rest house Punnami. I think it's about Rs500 for a double. The temple has some rooms vailable for Rs 150 per day. Unless it's a festival season, you can get accomodation easily. AP tousist hotel caN BE booked form HYD itself after your arrival in HYD. From HYD yo Srisailam it's 6 hours journey by bus. APSRTC runs these buses and can be booked after you arrive in HYD.
From srisailam to tirupati, there are buses. can be booked after you to srisailam. As srisailam is not connected by rail. You have to go to Kurnool to catch a train to Tirupati, I think.

Dunno about Srisalam/Tirupathi, but

Srisailam is about 230km from Hyderabad, 5 hours by road. The nearest railway station is about 70km away, if I remember right, (Marakpur)

Perhaps it is better to stay overnight at Hyderabad. Part of the road is through the sanctuary, and it sometimes closes in the evening, or we were told so.

Buses will be available too, or a taxi can be hired

There is a AP Tourism run hotel, no great shakes.

Not many other options.. the temples run some 'choultries'; we stayed within the Sanctuary in pretty peaceful surroundings, (cant do without own transport) but the accomodation wasn't great either, and getting food was a problem, miles from anywhere.
But they may be better organised now, this was two years ago.

Even if the AP Express gets to Hyderabad on time it would be difficult to get to Srisailam.

Kurnool seems to be about 115kms from Srisailam.

What day are you leaving Delhi?

Train 2708 (AP Sampark Kranti) departs Nizamuddin (Wednesday, Friday and Sunday only) at 07:30 and gets to Kurnool at 13:22 the following day.

2A = Rs 1921
3A = Rs 1376
SL = Rs 509


Train 2797 departs Kurnool daily at 23:40 and gets to Tirupati at 07:30 the following morning.

2A = Rs 709
3A = Rs 518
SL = Rs 204


NOTE...if you are staying at Srisailam for 3 nights or less, you can book the above 2 trains using the 'break of journey' rules and save a lot of Rupees.

The combined fare if booked using the 'break of journey' rules would be: - (the amount saved in brackets)

2A = Rs 2097 (Rs 533)
3A = Rs 1508 (Rs 386)
SL = Rs 567 (Rs 146)
