💡 Travel Tips
💰 Stay in Hassan town (30km away) instead of Halebidu for 40-50% cheaper accommodation while maintaining easy access to temples via local buses or shared autos costing ₹50-100 per trip.
📅 October to February offers pleasant weather with temperatures between 15-28°C, ideal for exploring open-air temples without the intense heat. Avoid May-September monsoons when heavy rains can make temple exploration uncomfortable and roads slippery.
