Discover the Magic of Hampi 3 Days UNESCO Heritage Guide
Spanning over 4,100 hectares along the banks of the Tungabhadra River in central Karnataka, Hampi is an open-air archaeological marvel. As the capital of the Vijayanagara Empire during the 14th to 16th centuries, Hampi was described by Portuguese and Persian chroniclers as one of the richest and largest cities in the world.
Its surreal landscape of giant orange-ochre granite boulders piled high against green banana plantations and dramatic ruined temples creates a visual spectacle found nowhere else on earth.
Our 3-day itinerary guides you through sacred temples, the Royal Enclosure, and sunset coracle rides.
