💡 Travel Tips
💰 Stay in nearby Badami (15km away) where accommodation costs ₹800-2000/night compared to Bangalore, while still accessing Aihole temples within 30 minutes by local transport or shared autos.
📅 October to February offers the most pleasant weather with temperatures between 20-30°C, ideal for exploring temples and outdoor photography. Avoid May-September monsoons when heavy rains make temple exploration difficult and roads become slippery.
🛂 Indian passport holders do not require a visa as Aihole is located within India. Simply carry a valid ID proof like Aadhaar, PAN, or passport for domestic travel.
