Pune - Hampi - Pune bike ride in 4 days in mid-May 2017

Two expatriate students studying in Pune rode to Hampi and back in their Bajaj Pulsar 180 motorcycles in May 2017. 

Day 1:
They crossed Magarpatta (Pune) at 5.30 am.
Route: Pune - Indapur - Solapur - Bijapur - Hungund - Hospet - Hampi.
Pune to Solapur is superb 4-laned NH65 (erstwhile, NH9) which they did non-stop in 3 hrs 15 mins.

Crossing through Solapur town during the morning rush hour took about 25 mins including a brief stopover for tea and breakfast at a roadside stall. There isn't any bypass to avoid the mess in Solapur.

Solapur to Bijapur had a high volume of unruly local trucks and two-wheeler traffic. It's still a 2-lane stretch throughout. 

Bijapur to Hospet was a comfortable ride on very well maintained 4-laned roads. Hospet to Hampi is only a distance of 13 kms.

Since they had an early morning start from Pune, they could check-in to their hotel (no prior bookings) around 6.00 pm.  

Day 2 and 3:
They explored the ruins of Hampi.

Day 4:
The return ride was through the same route as the onward journey. The timings were almost the same as that clocked while riding from Pune to Hampi.
