Hyderabad Weekend Getaway: Hampi

On one of the extended weekends, I decided to plan a trip to Hampi.
Trip Route: Hyderabad – Kurnool – Bellary – Hospet – Hampi – Hospet – Bellary –Guntakal- Gooty - Kurnool – Hyderabad.
Duration of trip: 3 days

I had to include ‘Bellary’ in the trip because, I have some relatives there and my parents wanted to do the night halt at their place. On day, we reached Bellary by early evening… met with my relatives and tasted some really good food at Bellary. Next day early morning, we started from Bellary towards Hampi. Hampi is around 90 KM away and is reachable in 2 hours. Reached Hampi by 10 AM.

It takes one full day to visit all the sites in Hampi. Plan your trip in winter or rainy reason to avoid the heat. It become virtually impossible to roam around Hampi in summer season. We finished visiting all the sites by 6:00 PM. Somebody suggested us to visit the fish museum at Hospet (Hospet is 5KM away from Hampi and it’s a large city with lot of restaurants/lodges) . At around 7 PM, we visited the Fish Museum at Hospet… it wasn’t worth the hype. Around 30 fishes in different aquariums were on display. At 8:00 PM, had dinner at Hospet and returned to Bellary.
