Thanks PD, title corrected.

Beach, are you suggesting Hampi may be worth more than one day?

Thanks for that

You need at least 2 (full) days. That’s the bare minimum you need.
Plan for 3 to 4 days, you would be doing justice to yourself.

Also in Hampi you need to find out what interests you the most. Is it the wandering in the rural ambiance or is it savoring the splendors of the never-ending expanse of ruins or is it the charm in spending hours at the river sides or is it bicycling around the villages or is it the hill climbing or …..

…remember there’s something spooky or magical about Hampi. So it all depends what will attract people. I would say Hampi is the ‘Varanasi’ of south India.

Wow....

Just wow. Thanks so much for all your hard work beach.

I hope I can contribute as much as you have with this post to other IMers when I finally get to India.
