Hampi is a Unesco worl heritage site on the south bank of the Tungabhadra river, Hampi boasts the evocative ruins of Vijayanagar or the "City of Victory". The capital of three generations of Hindu rulers for more than 200 years, Hampi reached its zenith under Krishnadeva Raya (r.1510-29) and Achyuta Raya (r.1529 - 42). The site comprises the Sacred and Royal center and hosts 83 temples/sights!! Although Hampi is quite small, it takes at least three days to see everything. I thought three days would be more than enough, but I couldn't be more wrong. I covered the mayor temples and left many things behind. I mean it's possible to see everything in three days, but it's just not enjoyable. The other atraction of Hampi is the tranquility. Unlike in other Indian places, there's no rush here, no trafic, the times goes slow and there're many places to chilled-out.
I'll continue tomorrow, but here are some pictures: Hampi. Enjoy!
