Bijapur

Hello Travelers,

Bijapur city is located at a distance of 560 Kms from Bangalore and is situated in Bijapur district of Karnataka. It is a historical city and was the capital of Adil Shahi dynasty.

We started at 5 AM and reached Bijapur by 2 PM. Bijapur is now renamed as Vijayapura. After Chitradurga take right towards Hampi Expressway. Empty roads and you will find difficulty looking for good hotels. Try finishing breakfast before Chitradurga.

In Bijapur too getting a good veg hotel was difficult for us. May be we did not search properly.

We saw two dams enroute to Bijapur from Bangalore - Tunga Bhadra Dam and Alamatti Dam.

Here are some pics.

On our personal trip to Bijapur along with Gol Gumbaz we had the opportunity of visiting temples of Laskhmi Narasimha Swamy in Toravi and Narasimha temple near Bus Stand.

Along with visiting these temples we also visited Gol Gumbaz. Here is the post link: https://rajendrajagathkar.blogspot.com/2022/04/gol-gumbaz.html
