Trip 2009 - Dandeli - Hampi

Mas breaks...Wat to do? where to go?The planning of the trip began in november as we had leaves in the last week of december (yay Symantec:D ). We did many hours of route planning in google maps, did research on places to go. Earlier it was planned to go to Pune - Nagarhole - Banglore - Pune, but then it would have been too hectic as we planned to stay in B'lore for 3 days. Finally we choose "Dandeli" as the place to go... but 5 days there... naa, we need to add another destination to our itinerary.

One "travel Advisor" of mine suggested Hampi and Badami Caves & it was just 250 kms from Dandeli. So Hampi added as the 2nd destination to our trip and we are good to go.

We began looking for places to stay and everything was full. Finally, we found some place by "Karnataka Forest Department" at a whooping price of Rs 500 per night (deluxe Tents).
In Hampi we booked a hotel by KSTDC - Mauraya Bhuvneshwari.
All set and done, now was the time for bike preparations and gear purchasing for my ardhangani :)
