Hampi is a UNESCO landscape of temples, bazaars and coracle crossings. Virupaksha, the stone chariot at Vittala, Lotus Mahal and Elephant Stables are the core Sacred Centre.

An empire in stone and granite

Stay on the quieter side of the river for sunset boulders, or in Hampi Bazaar for dawn temple bells. Cycle or auto between clusters; distances add up.

Winter is best. Mid-day granite reflects brutal heat. Combine with Badami–Pattadakal–Aihole if you love early temple architecture.
