Hampi Travel Guide
Where the Tamgabhadra River snakes through a surreal and magical landscape of rock boulders and rich vegetation, you will find the ancient ruins of Vijayanagar.
Better known as Hampi, this sleepy town was once the capital of a mighty empire. The remaining temples and ruins are spread out over 26 km2 and exploring them can be a strenuous but rewarding adventure. Stumbling upon a temple that looks almost like a mutation of the rock formations surrounding it will give you a real sense of discovery.
