Hampi trip planner

The temple town of Hampi sits on the site where one of the richest and biggest cities on the planet once stood, with the ruins of the old city protected as a World Heritage Site. Once the capital of the Vijayanagar empire during the 15th and 16th centuries CE, the remains of the impressive fortified city represent the main attraction in Hampi, including many temple complexes, military buildings, aqueducts, and canals. The surrounding rocky terrain frames the old structures, adding to the evocative air of the town, with a number of different hiking routes winding their way through the landscape. Hampi is in Bellary District. Plan the details of your Hampi holiday and any onward adventuring with our easy-to-use India visit planner.
