Guys, can you help me out here?

My family will be going to Hampi in the first week of next month. Can anyone please suggest the best hotel in Hospet / Hampi?

I am not asking for value for money hotel here. Just the best available hotel.

Thanks in advance.

Where did you get it from?

Bought the Motul 5100 15W50 oil cans from the Motul distributor on JC road. He also had a hugger in stock.

thats absolutely fine with me...

I'll confirm in a few hours Nisarg. Feeling weak with the medication and not completely recovered yet. Badly want to join but if i cant make it, i'll let you know latest by 7pm today.

Edit - Vishwas - will check around and let you know.

ok , we got two destinations as of now , chukki twins and manchanabele dam , lookin at eric's pics , and by personal experience , i think what he says is right ! , i went there last august and it was fantastic , the little deviation we take after maddur is rwhere the roads go bad for a bit , while riding through the villages , it is about 130km each way ... as for the other one , manchanabele dam , this one is quite close about 30-40 km , the roads great except for the last 8km after the ISRO ... and hey , we can take our bikes upto the water edge ... no need to leave it out of our sight ... with a lil off-roading .after that maybe we can head to maddur for breakfast and back ...

so here's what we can do , put the destinations to a vote ... ,

MANCHANABELE DAM
1. nand15 -FZ16
2. rdna - RTR 160

CHUKKI TWINS


so everybody , lets vote !!! , I already did ... if any other destination is to be added - quote , add and vote ...

I'm still open to other places since I'm still not too keen on offroading.

[n_aditya]

No confirmation on the destination or the riders as yet. Hopefully something is decided by tomorrow afternoon.

I will anyway be riding on Sunday morning. If nothing gets updated here, I will ride to Krishnagiri or Maddur/Mandya on Sunday morning.

Those who wish to join me can call me if they have my number. (nisarg is gonna ride with me and has already confirmed).

I am not familiar with both the mentioned locations (machnabelle dam or chukki twins) so didnt comment, although I prefer the one which is of a longer riding distance. Typically I like to do at least 100-150 kms one way since i ride only once a week.

Can someone take ownership and post confirmations of the riders and the location for sunday morning?

Thanks.

Edit - reading the previous posts, I vote for Chukki twins.

Lolzz!!!
Still there is a fight for the destination

If i am not wrong then the Gagan chukki and barah chukki mean Shivasamudram falls, Right?

Well then towards the end while you approach towards these falls the roads will be damn dead ones!!
At least 2-3km of total off roading!!
Been there once

The toughest part of organizing a G2G is the destination. Not too many scenic places with good roads, rest stops, cafe's or resto's enroute at least in blore.

If this was Europe, then i'm sure the location would be decided within 2-3 posts.

There is a new biker's cafe but sadly it is not a few 100 kms away but just a jump of 4km for you!!
Saw one motocafe kind of thing in koramangla now don't know how good it is to justify its tag.
Though can't ride but can for sure check out that this weekend

[tulinisarg]

Yup. Thanks. I have checked this site. I wanted an actual feedback about good quality hotels.

Edit - Vishwas - will check around and let you know.

Had been to Hampi last December with some friends and though we didn't go for one of the best the guest house we stayed was quite good. I'm trying to locate their card but can't seem to find it. Will let you know if I manage to locate. There are quite a few guest houses around Hampi Bazaar but don't expect the same quality there as you would get in the good hotels here.

BTW have you checked the Lonely Planet guide to India. It has a few pages on Hampi including suggestions on places to stay.

Do not miss the food at Mango tree .. its a nice place to sit, relax and the food is good.

I'm ok with Krishnagiri too! Always wanted to go to Maddur, but heard from a colleague that his cousin met with an accident on Mysore and he's in bad shape Was a hit-and-run by a Merc who was doing ~140kmph!!! I'm a bit scared to ride on this road now, though I've traveled on this road throughout my engg
