Getting to Badami

Usually the biggest line in the budget — and the one the estimate above leaves out.

Bengaluru → Badami

train · 9h

₹350

1 way / person

Hubli → Badami

bus · 2.5h

₹150

1 way / person

Cheapest listed route is Hubli → Badami by bus. Return for two works out to about ₹600 — so a whole trip lands near ₹3,560 for two, travel included.

Fares are typical one-way estimates per person from Badami's common gateways, not live prices — book early and expect festival months to run higher.
