The Road trip to Hampi, Karnataka was not planed, but as Christmas came on Friday this year we decided to take this opportunity and explore some new places. We had planned to visit The Rann of Kutch but I dont know what happened and all of a sudden we decided to visit Hampi. The reason for this change where:- first it is near as compared to Rann of Kutch which would have required more than a week to explore. Secondly NH4 to Karnataka is in mint condition, expect for Pune to Satara. But once you pass Satara, this is one of the best roads in the Country. There are two route for Hampi from Pune, one is via NH9 and NH13 i.e. via Solapur - Vijayapura and other NH4 i.e. via Kolhapur Hubali . we decided to take NH4 was this route was very well known to us.
