Bicycle tours

If there is one thing that you must do in Hampi, it is to get a bicycle and roam around the ruins and this sleepy village at a pace that keeps you discovering its beauty. Hampi is not a place to strike off from your wishlist in a rush; so let it work its magic on you—slowly. A number of bicycle rental points are in the lane that houses Virupaksha Temple; you can get one for around INR 500 as security deposit and INR 50 as bicycle rent for a day. You would be required to provide an ID card as well. Take ample pit stops in the artsy cafes and restaurants, in the temple ruins and street markets, say hello to locals, wave at fisherman—enjoy Hampi in a way that it deserves.
