Hampi - 2 Days trip (Saturday , Sunday)
Climate - April May Months are hot and mercury reaches top. June July months are rainy season in Hampi. So better avoid these months.
Description: Hampi is one of the best weekend destination from Bangalore. Sometimes it is better to understand the history by experiencing it, so we value our rich culture. Even though invaders had destroyed much portions, the remains showcases the ability of old Indian architecture and man power.
Reachability: Hampi is connected by road and rail. Bangalore to Hampi takes around 7 Hours by car and half stretch is beautiful toll rods , which are easily to drive. National Highway Authority has started to broaden the roads further so that in coming months of 2017, the travel will be much more easier.
2 Days plan. How easy it is?
Hampi is too big. We can spend months to explore the whole Hampi. Its stretched across acres of land. There are so many similar monuments which could be skipped. We can cover whole Hampi if you are ready to move quickly around.
We had left Bangalore by 9 AM and Reached Hampi by 5 PM. Covered almost all spots. As seen in the map, the Hampi sightseeing covers upper part of Thunga badra and lower part of Thunga badra river.
Day 1: First day we reached by evening 5 PM. So we covered below points, then moved back to hotel.
Day 2: We have a complete day to cover Hampi. Remember Archaeological Survey of India closes the historical monuments entry by 5 PM. So ensure to move fast so that you cover maximum points. If we are able to leave Hampi by 6 PM, we can reach back Bangalore by 1 PM.
Below points were covered on day 2.
