Hospet: What to see nearby?
What our travellers think of their stay
Hospet is the long-distance bus terminus for people wishing to visit the Hampi temples.
My suggestion
There are frequent shuttle buses from Hospet to Hampi . Don't listen to rickshaw drivers telling you they're the only way to get there.

My suggestion
Unless you're waiting to catch a bus or you happen to be there at night, there is no reason to spend any amount of time in Hospet. Hampi, by complete contrast, is so beautiful that staying over in accommodation there is absolutely an option.
