There are several tour operators who conduct theme tours and package tours. These operators plan and arrange the whole trip for you. All you have to do is sit and relax. The tour operators have their own fleet of buses, some of them air-conditioned. The tour package, in most of the cases, covers more than just one place to give better value for money. Many of these packages include accommodation and some of them include meals also. These package tours are good if you do not have enough local knowledge or if you do not want to trouble yourself with planning for the tour.

One such tour is conducted by Karnataka State Tourism Development Corporation - a Government of Karnataka Undertaking . Being a Government company, this is one of the most reliable operators. The tour covers Hampi, Tungabhadra Dam, Badami, Pattadakallu, Aihole, Bijapur and Kudala Sangama and costs around Rs.1200 per person. The tour cost includes accommodation. KSTDC also gives special discounts for group bookings and student bookings. Please visit their website for more details.

If you are coming to or already in Goa, it is easier for you to include Hampi to your itinerary. There are many tour operators in Goa who have latest and most comfortable buses (some air-conditioned and with a sleeper) from different places in Goa to Hampi. These air-conditioned coaches with sleepers would be very useful for this 10 hour journey.
