5.00We had come on a 3 day tour for hampi. Our guide and cab driver were excellent. Our guide Nagaraj very knowledgeable as he was born and brought up in Hospet. He was able to actually give us a picture of what happened during the krishnadevaraya period and also about the different stories which goes with different historical monuments and it's structures. He also took us to a great pure vegetarian eatery where you get local food. Above all he takes wonderful photography. As he knows the local language it was very easy. The driver was also wonderful who also took us illikal to buy handmade. cotton sarees. Day 1- hampi - Ganesha monument, etc Day 2- aihole, patadakal, badami Day 3 - hampi - corcal drive, vittala temple, museum, virubhaksha temple, palace grounds So anyone going to hampi this is the best time to go as the weather is good.
