Route guide: Bangalore to Hampi
Hampi, the UNESCO World Heritage capital of the Vijayanagara empire, is about 340 km from Bangalore. The Urbania runs up NH-48 past Tumakuru to Chitradurga, whose hilltop fort makes a good break, and then takes the highway to Hosapete, the base town about 13 km from Hampi. The drive takes six to seven hours. Hampi's monuments spread across roughly 25 square kilometres of boulder-strewn landscape, so having your own vehicle and driver saves a lot of time between sites. The Sacred Centre around Virupaksha Temple and Hemakuta Hill is walkable; the Royal Enclosure, Lotus Mahal and Elephant Stables form another cluster; and the Vittala Temple with its famous stone chariot is reached by a short battery-vehicle ride from its parking. Tungabhadra Dam near Hosapete is lit up in the evenings. Local running of around 100 km is included in the 780 km estimate.

Best time to visit Hampi
October to February is the best time, when days are warm but comfortable and nights are cool. March to May is very hot, often above 38 °C, so sightseeing must be done early morning and late afternoon. The Hampi Utsav cultural festival, usually held in winter, draws large crowds and is worth timing a trip around.
