Humpi - Aihole - Kudalasangama



The first trip which we covered over 1000 kms....

Humpi
One of the best historic places to visit in Northern Karnataka, out of which many were constructed during the reign of Krishnadevaraya...

Aihole
A historical place with an entirely different architectural style as that of Humpi... 120 kms from Humpi..

Started at 5PM from bangalore, first halt was at Chitradurga to have dinner :-). From Chitradurga to Hospet road is full of Trucks..., reached Hospet at 1AM, and stayed after covering almost 350kms. This is the best place to stay on the waay to Humpi(affordable)..


Next day morning we started for Humpi... That day we covered almost all the monuments in Humpi.., and then in the evening we had a nice view of Thungabadra Dam.. We started for Aihole that day evening at around 7PM, and we are forced to stay at Ilkal, as it was the only township 36kms before Aihole.. In Aihole, you wont find a single hotel...

We covered Aihole by that day afternoon and headed to Kudalsangama.. A place where 2 rivers meet, with a famous Shiva temple almost at the point of convergence... The view is truly awesome...


Journey Back to Bnagalore after the wonderful trip.. started at 3PM on the 2nd day, reached back (Electronics City) at 2AM, with a few stops in between..
