You need at least two days to cover Hampi. If you're travelling from Bangalore, there are no buses running during the day anyway. So you can start on a Friday night, reach Hampi on Saturday morning, spend two full days and then leave back on Sunday night. On one day you can visit the town side of Hampi which has many temples and ruins. You can book a tour auto from the bus stand which will show you all the popular places, or rent a scooter or bicycle and explore around. On other day you can visit the other side of the river, hippie island (though it's not an island really). It has more natural beauty and is a good place to relax. It has many hills with huge boulders, the monkey temple, a waterfall and a lake. P.S. If you are renting bikes, you'll probably need to book separate bikes on each side of the river. The locals usually don't allow bikes from one side to be taken to the other side. Also, if you are taking an auto to travel somewhere, always ask and fix the fare before boarding the auto. Otherwise the auto drivers charge exorbitant prices once you get down. (I was charged 200 bucks for travelling not more than a kilometre, while sharing the front seat with the auto driver).
