Hampi

Hampi attracts thousands of tourists and pilgrims every year. This is an important religious site in the south Indian state of Karnataka, which houses Virupaksha Temple and several other notable monuments. Hampi has been listed in the UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Years ago, Hampi was the capital of Vijayanagara, an Hindu empire in southern India. The historical place is situated in the northern part of Karnataka, which has developed from the ruins of Vijayanagara.

Located at a strategic location, Hampi bounded by the torrential Tungabhadra River on the one side and surrounded by defensible hills on the other three sides.

It is like a paradise for backpackers in India travel. Hampi is close to Hospet, about 13kms away. The state capital Bangalore is 353 km away and Bellary is 74 km away. Hampi is a beautiful place to visit.
