Hampi is considered the capital of the Vijayanagar empire in the 14th century. It is located at the banks of the Tungabhadra river in the eastern part of central Karnataka. It is 384km. away from Hyderabad. If you have a scooter then also you can manage to go by your vehicle. But just remember you have to take 15 minutes to break for every on average of 80km (depending on the capacity of the scooter). So, let's plan our Hampi trip for the weekend.
