You could start the day by catching the early morning light on the carvings at Hoysaleswara, then head straight to the Halebidu Archaeological Museum when it opens at 10 am. After the museum, a quick auto to Belur Chennakeshava Temple takes only about ten minutes. For sunset, the small hill south of Hoysaleswara where the Kaveri bends gives a quiet spot to watch the river and temple silhouette. If you’re staying near Belur, Sunshine International Boarding & Lodging is a short auto ride from the bus stand.
