Hospet and Hampi

Hampi is just 13km away from Hospet, which offers better hotels and staying options. So if you have your own transport it makes better sense to stay in Hospet.

The other option is to stay on Hippie Island across the river. But, be warned that the lodging and boarding, though cheap, is absolutely basic and you’ll have budget foreigners as neighbours - not to mention the full moon night-long rave parties. The guides also mention that the hotel owners here would rather have foreign tourists staying, but when the author went and inquired there was nothing to show that Indians were unwelcome.

The rooms are large, airy and unbelievably cheap. The restaurant is across the road and serves mainly south Indian food. Try the rice plate that comes with a fiery sambhar.
