My hubby has lot of interest in sculpture and art. As there was a long weekend coming up, we planned a trip to the Temple City Hampi.We have booked the tickets till Hospet for Kolhapur express which starts from Nampalli, Hyderabad. The train was decently clean and was not over crowded.The journey was good after Guntakal junction.It was one night journey. After reaching Hosptet, the nearest Rail Head to Hampi, we have taken public transport to Hampi, which was hardly 45 mins.
