Routes

From October 29th to November 2nd, I embarked on a journey to Hampi, taking advantage of the Diwali holidays. I booked a bus through Raj's Travels and Transports, with the fare being 1,905.28 INR from Penukonda to Hampi and 2,355.10 INR for the return journey. Despite expecting a comfortable ride on the sleeper bus, the poor road conditions made it difficult to sleep. Accommodation: Abhi Homestay Hampi Upon arrival in Hampi, I checked into Abhi Homestay Hampi. The cost was 3,000 INR per night. The host, Abhi, was incredibly warm and welcoming, making me feel at home from the moment I arrived.

The homestay's convenient location was a major advantage for exploring the area. * Address:  Abhi Homestay Hampi * Whatsapp: +91 94815 65235 Getting Around: SRI VIRUPAKSHEWARA Rent A Bike Following Abhi's recommendation, I rented a small scooter from SRI VIRUPAKSHEWARA ...
