Saturday, August 13, 2011

I was always fascinated by Hampi's prosperity during
Vijayanagara kingdom.(Sad to see that its ruined today). And wanted to
visit this place from long time, but since we need at least 4 days,(i
now feel need atleast 5 days :)) i had to wait for longgg
week-end... Atlast waiting time was over, we had a long week-end for
Aug 15th. I checked with my parents if they want to join. When they
confirmed, i checked for tickets, and was dissappointed to find buses
from Blore to Hampi were full, i really wonder, how soon this buses gets
filled up, especially on week-ends. Finally we decided to book tickets
to Hospet (12kms from Hampi).I booked tickets from Blore - Hospet
(k.s.r.t.c Volvo) and Badami - Blore. S.R.K Travels (Since my plans
was 2 days in Hampi and 2 days in Badami)
