| Help needed with getting from Hampi to Mumbai Dear all I'm trying to figure out the best way to get from Hampi to Mumbai. I found a train from Hospet to Mumbai - 17 hr! Is there any other way throught different place, so that I won't have to travel for so many hrs in one shoot? Thanks a lot. |

| If you take a train east a few hours to Guntakal, you're on a major route to Mumbai. So you can try to construct an itinerary in two segments. But it will probably take at least 17 hours anyway. Of course you can always stop for a few days in Goa instead. 17 hrs is not a lot. India is a big country, and Hospet is not on a fast line. If there a nonstop train, and if you don't want to stop for any other reason, I would go for it. Spend the money for 2-tier AC, and watch the world go by. |

| Scroll to the bottom of this page and read 'Similar Threads'. Getting a bus to Raichur, then a train to Mumbai would work well, the train times don't work well via Guntakal, well, they didn't the last time I looked. Just a thought.....now the train line south of Bijapur has been converted to broad gauge, does the Mumbai-Bijapur train run though to Badami and Gadag (on Hospet-Hubli line)? Or is there a Hospet-Bijapur passenger train???? |

| Thank you guys. I see that it's or very long train journie (I know that 15 hr isn't that long comparing to Indian territory, but I hardly can imagine myself spending these hours in a train without even having a proper window to look at (A/C 2)) or stopping for couple of days in Goa. I guess it'll be Goa then. |
