Two days is not sufficient to explore Hampi.
I would suggest you to take at least three days.

I heard from other groups/members there is nothing much to spend not more than 1 day in Hampi ( recently visited with help of Tour Guide ).

Need your valuable suggestion/comment on this.

I have been there last month too.. Stayed at Hospet in Hampi International hotel which was very good at it's budget..

Nothing has changed over there except for the road conditions which were in it's worst conditions after Raichur. 1 and a half days is what you would require to cover every bit of Hampi. And if you would want to cover the places around.. you have Thanda (reservoirs of tungabadra) near to Steel Plant and also Tungabadra dam is a good choice to visit. Including travel... 3 days would be a hurry trip and 4 days would be a leisure one

Roads leading to Hampi are in bad shape. (both Via kurnool and Raichur)

Hotels are expensive in December (Hampi peak season).

 

Take the following route:

Hyderabad --> Kurnool --> Alur --> Bellari --> Hampi

Don't take Raichur road.
It is under construction. 

 

We stayed in Clarks inn Hampi, It is decent.

Hey @Mack,  as told by ranger, the below is the best route from the 2 options you have.

 

 Hyderabad --> Kurnool --> Alur --> Bellari --> Hampi

 

This route is a little longer by about 50 kms but takes the same drive time. Roads between Alur - Bellari has got a few short bad stretches but it's still better than the route via Raichur.

 

Accommodations in Hampi at the moment are very high compared to the usual time due to peak tourist month. You would get a decent hotel during this month if you can shell out 3000 to 3500 INR per night.

 

Royal Orchid Kireeti and Clarks Inn are decent options which you can count on in Hampi.

Hyderabad-Bellary-Hampi latest update:

 

While going, took Hyderabad-Kurnool-Alur-Bellary route.

Take this route only if you HATE your car.

There is almost no road for almost 60 kms on this stretch be it SH or NH.

 

While coming back, took Bellary-Guntakal-Gooty-Kurnool-Hyderabad route.

Not the perfect route but much much better than the Kurnool-Alur route.

Ignore the Kurnool-Alur route suggested by Google/Apple maps or you will regret later.

 

Word of caution - lot of speed breakers on both the routes without any markings. Be careful.
