Have you tried running php artisan serve on your command line? — paudel
I have used this code in routes.php file. Route::get('/hello',function(){ return 'Hello World!'; }); — Nisha Sharma
The folder public should be your server's document root and not turn up in any url. — brombeer

Since you are using XAMPP, it will be better for you to register a new virtual host on your xampp's Apache. Just go to /path-to-xampp/apache/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

And add this code

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName mylaravel-app.local
    DocumentRoot "e:/path-to-xampp/htdocs/laravel/public"
    <Directory  "e:/path-to-xampp/htdocs/laravel/public/">
        Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Require local
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

After that, you save it and restart your XAMPP to refresh its DNS. Then you can now view your app on http://mylaravel-app.local

UPDATE for sample code:

// app\Http\Controllers\Hello.php
class Hello extends Controller {

    public function index() {
        echo "Hello world!";
    }

    ...
}

// routes:
Route::get('/hello', 'Hello@index');

// then you test it on http://mylaravel-app.local/hello
