In reply to Samuel Palmer:
I stayed in mowgli guest house which was awesome then but I note reviews from two days ago aren’t quite as good. Oh yeah watch out for the mossies. Whatever anyone says people do catch malaria in Hampi (and dengi) , it’s one of the few places in South India there is a real but fairly low to moderate risk. Follow the normal precautions, personally didn’t use pills. I found some really good Ayurvedic spary out there that worked a treat and seemed to last longer than the chemical stuff as well as feeling and smelling nicer). You will want a plug in mossie repelent for sure too. Pretty sure it was this one

No need to take a net, anywhere you would want to stay should have nets in my experience.
Enjoy the river crossing! You do it on a coracle!
