Hampi
Hampi is one of India's most extraordinary archaeological landscapes and was once the capital of the Vijayanagara Empire. Spread across a dramatic terrain of granite boulders and river valleys, the ruins include temples, markets, palaces, gateways, water systems and ceremonial structures. The Virupaksha Temple, Vittala Temple and Royal Centre are among its best-known monuments. Hampi's landscape allows architecture and nature to merge in a remarkable setting. The site provides insight into the political, commercial and religious life of one of medieval India's most powerful empires. For travellers interested in archaeology, architecture, history and landscape, Hampi offers an exceptionally rich experience.
