Bangalore to Hampi by Road

If you are planning a quick trip to see the famous ruins,of the Hampi civilization of the "Vijayanagara Kingdom",then the best route to take from Bangalore would be the Chitradurg – Hospet road of National highway 13.

The route is as follows – Bangalore – Neelamangala – Tumkur – Sira – Chitradurga – Kudligi – Hospet – Hampi. The road from Chitradurg to Hospet is satisfactory, but the road from Chitradurg till Hospet is not at all good. Again the stretch from Hospet to Hampi is good.
