Hampi Tour Package from Bangalore

A 3-day / 2-night Hampi tour from Bangalore is suitable for covering the major monuments without turning the journey into an overly rushed day trip. It provides one main sightseeing day, two travel days and time for both the Sacred Centre and Royal Centre.

Hampi is approximately 340–360 kilometres from Bangalore, depending on the route and pickup location. The road journey commonly takes around 6–8 hours, but actual travel time depends on traffic, road conditions and meal stops.

The exact route may vary according to road and traffic conditions. The driver will use a practical road route towards Hosapete and Hampi, with suitable breakfast, refreshment and lunch stops arranged during the journey.

The pickup point and reporting time will be discussed and confirmed approximately two days before the trip. The departure is normally planned early enough to reach the Hampi region with time available for hotel check-in and evening sightseeing.

The core itinerary covers Virupaksha Temple, Hampi Bazaar, Hemakuta Hill, Sasivekalu Ganesha, Kadalekalu Ganesha, Vittala Temple, the Stone Chariot, King’s Balance, Queen’s Bath, the Royal Enclosure, Mahanavami Dibba, the Stepped Tank, Hazara Rama Temple, Lotus Mahal, Elephant Stables and other important monuments.

Authorised battery-operated transport may operate between the vehicle area and the Vittala Temple entrance. Availability, fares and operating arrangements can change, so they should be reconfirmed near the travel date.
