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 thing about Virupapur Gaddi is that 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, and 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.
