In my 3 part blog on Hampi, I have covered the places of historic and religious significance with photographs. Here, I am giving my itinerary and my feedback on various places and restaurants I visited. I have given link to my blogs, google location of the places and my ratings of these establishments for one to have an easy access.
Day 1
- Reached Hosapet by Hampi Express from Bengaluru around 7 am
- Take the cab arranged by Heritage resort to reach the resort, freshen up. Overall, I rated the resort 4 stars on Google.
- Breakfast at the resort
- The guide reached around 830 am as scheduled, leave for Vijayanagar ruins covering both Vittala Temple Ruins and then the Royal areas.
- We had lunch at the Mango Tree Restaurant. A pure vegetarian restaurant. We had a South Indian Thali at the restaurant. It was both clean and tasty. I rated the restaurant with 4 stars on Google.
- Subsequently, we reached the resort, checked in and took some rest
- Left for the Virupaksha temple leg of the tour by 4 pm
- We reached back to the resort for dinner
Day 2
- We had our breakfast at the resort
- Left for the Anjanadhri hills leg of the tour
- Reached the resort for lunch
- We spent the afternoon and evening leisurely. I booked a massage at the resort. I would rate the massage 3 stars out of 5
- Evening we continued at the resort and had our dinner at the resort itself
Day 3
- Breakfast at the resort
- Spent some time in the swimming pool
- Left for Lunch at the Naivedyam Restaurant. The option was between Kailash Parbath and Naivedhyam. I rated the restaurant 4 on Google.
- Visited the Tungabadhra Dam, went around Hosapet
- Reached the Resort. The resort was kind enough to extend my stay with a charge till late evening.
- Checked out around 9 pm and went to Naivedyam for dinner. From there went to the Station
- My train to Chennai was only at 11:55 PM which was around 15 minutes late. I reached the station around 10:30 PM and decided to use the AC waiting room. If there was one not so good experience in the whole trip, it was this. I rated the facility 2 out of 5 on Google
Overall, I would rate the trip as outstanding. I would also recommend that visiting Hampi should be in your bucket list.
Will cover other interest places which I visited recently in the next blog. Bye till then.
