While coming to travel cost

If you are travelling by train from Bengaluru

Bus - 600 /- to 800 /-

so Up and Down will cost from 350/- - 1700/- (Including Travel from Hosapete to Hampi 15-30/-) per head

Guest House will cost between 500 - 1500/- per head depend on how facilities are available like AC & Non-AC. If it is pick time it will be more demanding.
