Hi friends, planning to do a Hyd-Hampi trip next week. Is there any information on the latest condition of Gooty - Ballari - Hospete route? Travelling on a sedan with family. Thanks.

Hi, Did you finalise the route?

I am also planning to drive from Hyd-Hampi(Bellari) this Friday. Thinking of Hyd-Kurnool-Aloor-Bellari route.

I took Hyderabad-Kurnool-Aloor-Ballari-Vidyanagar township route.

Road is in good condition for most part. Ballari to Vidyanagar stretch is having some construction and traffic. Otherwise it was a pleasant drive.

Started from Golconda fort around 11AM and reached Vidyanagar around 6.15PM with a 45 minutes break in Kurnool for lunch.

Planning to drive out early morning Monday(9¹/23) from Hampi towards Hyderabad; am thinking of taking the Gangavati-Sindhanur-Raichur-Mahbubnagar route. Wondering about the road conditions lately & the time it might take?

The alternative is of course to take the longer route via Bellary-Alur to join NH 44 at Kurnool...

Any suggestions?

Hi All,

Sorry for the delay in updating this. We finally took the Mahboobnagar - Raichur - Sidhanur - Gangavathi - Hospet route. The route was good, except for the rather annoyingly frequent and unscientific speed breakers in parts of the route, especially at and around Raichur. The roads were in pretty decent condition, and the traffic was manageable.

We took around 7 hours 45 mins to reach the hotel in Hospet (Gmaps had shown an estimated time of 8 hrs at the start), including a couple of breaks, and travelling at reasonable speeds.

Since I was travelling on this route for the first time and were unaware of the amenities available, we were reasonably prepared for the lack of amenities too - which turned out to be helpful because the amenities available were too few, too far in between and probably not maintained too well - so I'd advise travellers to be prepared, likewise.

Safe driving, folks..! Thanks.
