Travel back in time to the glorious days of the 14th century Vijayanagara Empire in North Karnataka. Let the interesting and charming ancient sites of Hampi tell you the story of what was once described as ‘the best provided city in the world’
Hampi was one of the richest and largest cities in the world before it fell to the Deccan Sultanates. What remains today, is a sprawling scenic ruined city, with its multitude of temples, monuments, statues and palaces, civic buildings and even irrigation systems. Combine with this a backdrop of Tungabhadra River, lush rice and banana plantations, swaying palm trees and giant boulders and it creates a stunning landscape with abundant natural beauty, which makes Hampi special. Adding more charm to it, is Hampi’s lack of infrastructure, which has made Hampi notoriously difficult to get to, and this inaccessibility keeps away large crowds. There is now a direct flight from Hyderabad which has made journey easier to explore Hampi, a UNESCO world heritage destination.
