If you don't know much about...Aathira: Thanks.<br /><br />If you don't know much about Hampi, yes, I would advise you to take a guide. Ranjana Guest House, the place where we stayed during our trip, let us hire an auto for the whole day and the auto-driver doubled up as a guide. He was a very nice guy, but didn't know that much about the history of the place.<br /><br />There is a tourist information centre near the Virupaksha Temple from where you can hire "proper" guides. Private guides will cost you about Rs 600 for a full day (<a href="http://www.hampi.in/cost.htm" rel="nofollow">source</a>).Ranjit Mathewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04429610992943896537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17482943.post-56942294828003925072010-01-29T00:27:30.980+05:302010-01-29T00:27:30.980+05:30Wonderful write up.

However, it is indeed overlooked by a lot of Indian tourists.Ranjit Mathewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04429610992943896537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17482943.post-72872952232555533172009-02-08T17:31:00.000+05:302009-02-08T17:31:00.000+05:30Hi Ranjit,Great work with blog entry and the pictu...Hi Ranjit,<BR/><BR/>Great work with blog entry and the pictures.<BR/><BR/>It is sad that we are ready to travel to the far ends of the globe to see the ruins of various civilization and ignore the majesty of our ancestors that are an overnight train ride away!<BR/><BR/>I was pleasantly surprised that you found it hard to get accomodation in these off-the-regular-tourist-map spots and that too in these recessionary times!<BR/><BR/>Jai ho!Ray [V]https://www.blogger.com/profile/06849850268725441165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17482943.post-38992414663808684952009-01-15T16:31:00.000+05:302009-01-15T16:31:00.000+05:30Sriki: Yes, of course!
