An ordinary ticket from Madgaon station to Hospet, which is the closest station to Hampi, will cost you a mere 84 INR (as of April 2009). However I will warn you that ordinary carriages (non-sleeper) can get VERY crowded, so much so that we were crammed into the corridor next to the toilet, and at one point people, including my partner, were hanging out of the door! And still people were pouring in at each station, with tons of luggage! It was incredibly impressive how they managed to find space - one enterprising young man actually climbed up over the doorway and wedged himself up there like a spider!
If you can see out, the views on this route are amazing!

We stayed in Madgaon for one night, as we couldn't get a train until the next day, when we travelled to Mumbai. It was very hot and humid when we stayed there in April 2009.
