Time slot 5 am to 7.30 am – To Halebid
We took some rest and went out for break fast near bus stand at Vishnu refreshment,
Belur to Halebid distance = ~35 kms (Time for travel is @ an hour)
We took 8 am bus and reached Belur at around 9 am (Roads are okay)
Tip 1 : Take your break fast at Belur only, since no good hotels available at Halebidu
Tip 2 : Every half an hour you can get a bus to Halebidu
