Hampi is one of the most beautiful Historical Place in Karnataka.

Bangalore to Hampi Diaries

Among all the places in my checklist, Hampi was one of the places in my list to be visited. However, after reading and exploring so many posts in Tripoto, the time has come to decide to visit Hampi and explore insides of the place. When I was ten, I had visited Hampi with family. Though I don’t remember those happy moments spent with family, just the old captures helped me recall about the place.

After discovering many options, we had to finally decide to travel by Bus and booked a month prior which had costed 620/- per person (Sleeper Bus). We arrived at Hospet around 4.30 AM. To see the beautiful sunrise, we had to rush and booked local auto from Hospet to Hampi and we reached around 5:15 AM then checked into room to see amazing sunrise view from Matanga hill.

Note: Hello travelers, keep in mind that there won’t be any bus facilities till 6 AM on any given day.

Day 1: We started to explore the places in Hampi and started to visit temples like: Vijaya Vittala Temple, Hazara Rama Temple, Badavalinga temple, Hemakuta Hill Temple (for Sunrise) and visited monument places like: Stepped tank, Queen's bath.

Day 2: We started with Virupaksha Temple, Sanapur Lake, Pampa Sarovar and followed towards Hippie Island to have yummy and delicious lunch then our excitement continued towards Anjanadri betta which has a good view for sunrise, unfortunately we had missed ☹.

Travelers keep in mind, it’s not possible to complete everything within two days. It required at least 3 to 4 days to cover all the places. Due to time constraint we had to cover everything and trust me guys, we had a restless journey.
