Virupapur Gaddi (another side of Hampi across the Tungabhadra River) may be the best location to stay or I can say at least I selected the same. The best about Virupapur Gaddi is all tourists’ daily requirements are available from early morning till late night hours at various shops and most importantly – The small location area-wise and picturesque.

Laundry was the utmost requirement. Washing clothes was not allowed inside the guest house except for smaller clothes. We visited one such makeshift shop – Ezra Laundry Service.

Laundry cost per item – I question.

Rs. 5 for small clothes such as a handkerchief, underwear, vest, and Rs. 10 for big ones such as trousers, shirt, t-shirt, and woolen clothes.

Delivery of clothes?

Next day – He said.

The next day he was prompt. The usual time is 24 hours but even on request within 6 hours clothes are washed, dried, and delivered. Excellent isn’t it? Cheap and best for budget travelers. And above all the spirit of work – This too shall pass. Wonderful.
