Very well written with all necessary photographs. This can be quite a ready reckoner for both travellers and tourists visiting Hampi.

In reply to Amey. Thanks for the comments. You're right, there are a few places where you may have to park your bike and walk. For eg if you are planning to climb the Matanga hill or Anegundi. The cycle is often provided with a cycle lock. But I suggest you carry your own cycle lock or at least a chain and lock (the ones used to lock suitcases in the trains) for double safety. We left our moped!! and it did survive. Anyway Happy Travelling.....

Amazing photos. I’m going to visit there next month and I’m planning on hiring a bicycle to get around. From what I’ve read, there are some places where I’ll have to ditch the bicycle and take a walk. Where should I keep the bicycle at that time? Won’t it get stolen or something?

In reply to Kusum. Thanks for the comment. We have not tried riding a bike in the hills though we do plan to ride to Leh, Ladakh or Spiti Valley. The hills in Hampi are not steep so the ride is not tiring.

Hi Malini,
My name is Kusum and your blogs are very informative and have covered all details. Me and my sister are planning to visit Malyavanta Hills next month and rent a scooter. Apart from Hampi, have you guys rode scooter on hills apart from Hampi. Since this is my first time on hills, do you usually switch off engine downhill and experience the ride? Thanks, Kusum

In reply to Rajesh Iyer. The distance is very little. A little more than a kilometer may be. It took a less than 5 minutes to climb up and even less to climb down.

Thanks for your reply. How long is the journey downhill? Is it safe enough for my wife to ride the scooter on the way back? Your blog is extremely informative. Thanks once again
