Falling in Love at Hampi

The fabled and alluring ruins of Hampi dot a landscape of barren rocks and large boulders strewn across a rust coloured landscape. Green patches of palm, paddy fields and the Tungabhadra river make for visual relief. A part of Kishkinda and the capital of the Vijayanagar Empire, Hampi dates back to the 14th century. Lose yourself in the historical richness, exuberant architecture and soak in the relaxed pace of this temple town and spend a while. You will fall in love.
Towering over Hampi bazaar, the main travellers’ hub of Hampi, is the captivating Virupaksha Temple. The eateries at Hampi bazaar are nothing fancy but, most of them serve delicious food from all over the world.
