Hampi through your eyes from Bangalore – a 2 day tour of History & Adventure!
Best for: travelers who want a slower-paced trip with an overnight stay included
This itinerary is built for travelers who want to reach Hampi from Bangalore and keep the visit unhurried. It includes private transportation, one night of accommodation, a guide, breakfast, and listed admissions to several Hampi sites. The schedule combines monument visits on the first day with a coracle ride on the Tungabhadra River and more sightseeing the next day, including the royal enclosures and Anegundi Fort.

Full Day Private Tour of Badami, Aihole and Pattadakal from Hampi
Best for: travelers who want a guided day trip from Hampi to extend the visit beyond Hampi itself

The tour includes an air-conditioned vehicle, a guide, entrance charges, vegetarian south Indian meals, and GST. Its route covers Badami, Aihole, and Pattadakal, so the experience is less about exploring Hampi itself and more about connecting Hampi to a wider temple-architecture circuit. Because it is private, it may appeal to travelers who want a structured day with included logistics and a clear sightseeing list.

The format suits travelers who want a guided overview without an overnight stay or side trip. It offers the broadest classic Hampi sightseeing day among the three options.

Choosing the right Hampi itinerary style
If you are arriving from Bangalore and want more time on the ground, the two-day option gives the most relaxed structure. If you are already in Hampi, the choice is between a focused one-day overview of Hampi itself and a separate day trip that expands the route to Badami, Aihole, and Pattadakal.
Bangalore to Hampi over two days
This route is the best fit if you want transport arranged from Bangalore and prefer to see Hampi over a longer, more relaxed schedule.
Hampi to Badami, Aihole, and Pattadakal
Choose this if you want a private day of temple-focused sightseeing beyond Hampi rather than a longer Hampi-only itinerary.
Hampi heritage circuit
This is the best fit if you want a compact, private introduction to Hampi’s main monuments in one day.

Booking notes
- Included items differ by tour, so check whether transport, meals, accommodation, and entrance charges are covered before booking.
- Two of the tours are private, while the two-day Bangalore trip is described differently and includes an overnight element, so the travel style is not the same across all three.
- The product details are snapshots and can change, so confirm current inclusions and timing details at booking time.
