Superb place showing the Golden era of Vijayanagar empire. So many things to see. We stayed for 2 full days and explored a lot. Could have been 2 days more. August is a right month. Not much rain and greenery all around. Temps in the range of 25 to 30 degree celcius. Advisable to engage a guide atleast for one full day for better exploration. Other days can be easily done on your own with the help of map. One can walk around or can take vehicle to main spots. Don't miss the riverside walk from Virupaksha temple to Vijay Vithal temple

I had an absolutely amazing dining experience! The food was the true highlight—each dish was bursting with flavor, beautifully presented, and made with the freshest ingredients. From appetizers to dessert, everything was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. You can really tell the chefs put their heart and creativity into every plate. Whether you're a foodie or just looking for a great meal, this restaurant is a must-visit. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates top-quality cuisine!

Hampi in the southern Indian state of Karnataka is a heritage site with history going far back to the prehistoric era established around 1336 AD. Once a vibrant and highly rich empire called the Vijayanagar which was ruled by four different dynasties: the Sangama Dynasty, Saluva Dynasty, Tuluva Dynasty, and Aravidu Dynasty. Now converted into ruins partly by erosion, partly by intentional destruction by an alliance of the Deccan Sultanates, including Bijapur, Ahmadnagar, Golconda, and Bidar and then by negligence or inability to preserve of Indian governments. The ruins are still very beautiful and picturesque to say the least. They provide pleasant feel to eyes and peace to mind. There are innumerable spots for professional and casual photography including selfies. There is mostly no danger or risk in visiting most spots but one should be cautious while visiting the Kotilingam spot on the other side of the Tungabhadra river. You have first to pay heavy charges for the boats (either baskets or motorboats) and when you reach the other bank, there is absolutely no real pathway to even walk. you literally have to jump from boulder to boulder to reach the final place. It is somewhat risky, especially in rainy season, when the rocks are slippery and there is nothing to hold on to. Rest of the places are good. For charges, you have to bargain for a good deal.

A city lost to time,though a unesco heritage site the ruins can be maintained better.Beautiful,peaceful,such intricate designs on temples in mind blowing,the architecture,history is fascinating.Great place.Must visit.

Was very disappointed, having travelled more extensively in india we have seen much more impressive temple complexes such as the big temple in tamel nadu. There is too much hype about this place from TV and media that did not live up to the reality of the visit. Would not recommend to other travellers.

The extent of stone ruins from the Vijayanagar era is unbelievable. We would recommend having a guide at the sites where available, but also allow enough time to go around quietly by yourself as there is so much to see. Don’t miss going out to take some photos just before sunset. Everywhere you look you will marvel.
