Belur Holidays
The town of Belur lies around thirty kilometers to the north of Hassan and owes its fame to its Hoysala temple.
Belur: What to see nearby?
What our travellers think of their stay
At 30km from Hassan and around 16km from Halebidu, Belur is a small, isolated village in the heart of the Karnatakan countryside.
My suggestion
Hassan, as a mid-way point between Bangalore and Mysore, is a useful base from which to visit Belur and Halebidu. But even so, you could always stay at Belur itself, as you'll get a taste of Indian rural life.

My suggestion
Set off in the morning, examine the sculptures, enjoy a vegetarian lunch and then head straight to Halebid so see and explore its temples and compare them with what you've seen in Belur.
