- Badami
I had been to the amazing ancient cave and temple site in Badami several years ago and since it was more or less on my way this trip I thought I would stop again and include the nearby sites of Pattadkal and Aihole.
Clark’s Inn was a bit fancy and relatively expensive at 2,750 rs. a night including morning breakfast but very nice. I was not pleased that all wine shops were still closed, the 3d day of Holi, so no beer.
The next day I had an easy ride to Aihole, stopping in Pattadkal on the way.
After last night I craved a.c. and I arrived at Clark’s Inn. Yes, I will take the room (2,750rs.). Very nice. And the extraordinary things/places at Badami in the afternoon heat.
