💡 Travel Tips
💰 Stay in Hampi village instead of Hospet town for more budget-friendly guesthouses (₹300-600 per night) and eat at local dhaba restaurants where meals cost ₹80-150, saving 40-50% compared to tourist restaurants.
📅 October to February is ideal for visiting Hospet, when temperatures range from 15-28°C, making it comfortable for exploring the expansive Hampi ruins on foot. The monsoon season from June to September should be avoided due to heavy rainfall, while summer months (March-May) can be extremely hot with temperatures exceeding 35°C.
