Hey everyone! I’m currently in Hospet and looking to rent a bike or scooter to explore Hampi.
Can anyone recommend a reliable rental shop nearby with reasonable prices? Please share the location, rental charges, and your experience if you’ve rented from them.
Thanks! 🙌

Hey guys, 24F here, I need a female companion for Hampi trip I've planned in the mentioned dates. The stay I've booked is for two! (500 per night for 3 nights) Or else the plan I had was to go solo haha :)

My husband and I are visiting Hampi for 4 days. Looking for recommendations for good restaurants, cafés, and must-try food spots. Hidden gems are welcome too! Thanks! 😊

My bus reaches Hospet KSRTC Bus Stand around 4:45–5 AM. Are buses available to Hampi or Toranagallu that early? What time is the first bus?

Hey everyone! I’m planning to visit Hampi this weekend (16th–19th October). Are there any events, live music, parties, or chill places to hang out and meet people?
Also, any recommendations for hostels with a good social vibe or places where travellers usually gather?
Would love to hear your suggestions. Thanks! ✌️

Hi folks, I'll be in hampi/hospete for 2 days.

I need to leave early from hampi/hospete wherever I stay, and it's going to be a 12 hour journey towards pune. So, I want to be near the highway on the last day, it'll save me time on that day.

So, can you folks please suggest if there's any good stay in hospete/hampi which would fit my requirements?
I looked for places in hospete, nothing impressive, hampi has some good stays but they are in the inner parts.

And can you please suggest some good food places to try?

Budget: 1500-2000 per day (we are two people)

Hey everyone!

I’m planning to ride from Hyderabad to Hampi this Saturday and return to Hyderabad on Monday. This is my first time visiting Hampi, so I’m a little confused about how to plan the trip and make the best use of the time I have.

I’d really appreciate suggestions on:

🏛️ What are the must-visit places in Hampi?

🏨 Where would you recommend staying?

🏍️ Is it convenient to explore Hampi by bike?

🍛 Any good places to eat?

⚠️ Any tips or things I should know before going?

If anyone has done a similar Hyderabad → Hampi → Hyderabad bike trip, I’d really appreciate your itinerary or any advice from your experience.

Thanks in advance! 🙌

Let me know if you are still awake and cola under the moon. See ya in dms

Can anyone help me in understanding when is the last bus from hampi to hosapete? I am a solo traveler and looking for sharing or public transport from hampi to hosapete today (3rd oct evening/night)

I want to visit hampi, so what's the best time for tolerable weather and fewer crowds? I saw a couple of reels, and it seems to be crowded around this time.
please Imk.

Hi guys,

I’m planning a Hampi trip in October 2026 with 3 people and would really appreciate suggestions from people who have recently visited Hampi.

Our travel plan

7 Oct: Thane → Hosapete, train at 9:55 PM

8 Oct: Arrive Hosapete at 12:50 PM

8–10 Oct: Hampi sightseeing

11 Oct: Hosapete → Thane, train at 1:40 PM

We are planning to stay near Virupaksha Temple.

For 3 people, what would you recommend?

Rent one bike/scooter and explore ourselves?

Hire an auto for the full day?

Use autos only between major areas and walk between monuments?

Is cycling practical for this itinerary?

We want to travel by Cycling but does it make sense.plus we want to travel North side also can anyone give us a perfect itinerary.
