City of Ruins
Hampi, the erstwhile capital of the Vijayanagara Empire, is a surreal landscape of giant boulders and intricate stone temples.
Beyond the famous stone chariot, there are hundreds of smaller, unmapped shrines waiting to be discovered.
Every stone in Hampi has a story to tell.
The Royal Enclosure
Step into the private world of the ancient kings. The Mahanavami Dibba and the Queen's Bath showcase advanced hydraulic systems and exquisite Indo-Islamic architecture.
While crowded, the view from Matanga Hill is unmatched. We arrange a private guide to take you up a less-trodden path.
