How did you manage food during the day visits - are there sufficient lunch options in the vicinity?

The weather was thankfully cloudy when we visited. The afternoons can get hot though, carry a umbrella and water bottle at all times to be safe. Regarding the food, you will get a few snacks in Hampi but no restaurants as such. For that you have to go to either Kamlapur or Hospete ( Check out the place where I had lunch on Day 2, there are a lot of restaurants near to that place )

These places are unfortunately not listed on Google maps, let me just list out the locations near where you can park comfortably.

• Hazara Rama Temple
• Queens Bathhouse
• Zanana Enclosure
• Hampi Bazaar
• Shree Vijaya Vitthala Temple

Update:

Roads: Decent roads. No matter what time you leave to Bangalore; you are bound to hit truck traffic. Leaving early still helps a little. This is only until Chitradurga; from there, the new highway is a breeze.

Food: Bangalore to Hampi - Pathetic. Dotted with dhabas. The only decent hotel is Anand Bhavan. This is perpetually busy, hence service is poor. Food is okay.
On the other side of the road you have paakashala restaurant. Good food and service.


Hampi: Great weather in the day. Rains late night. Was packed to the brim at all tourist spots.

Beautiful travelogue. I will be visiting Hampi for a day or day and half in couple of months. I will base this for planning my visits there.

From where do you book this?

Are there any decent hotels that might allow you to freshen up and checkout same day? I will be reaching Hosepet by train in the morning.

Will the Rama temple, Narasimha statue and Anjanadri hills be possible in a day? Is the above ticket needed for these places?

Thnaks for your kind words. Above is the Webpage . You can select Hampi Circle and go for Hampi Group of Monuments. This single Ticket covers the entire group of monuments here. Rama Temple and Narasimha Temple is also included and in the same general area. Anjanadri Hill is on the opposite side of the Tungabhadra River. You can go there in the evening as the last spot as we did. I think you can do it in a day. Not sure if hotels allow to just freshen up. Clarks inn is in Kamlapur and is just opposite the museum. It is also walking distance to the other monuments.

Thanks a lot for sharing. Is one full day enough to see the places you've mentioned in the travelogue? Do you have any preference in the sequence to go for? I heard car parking from main monuments (Virupaksha) are not near. Do you advice to hire locale auto or can we go by car?
