Hampi, a ruined city, is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Located in the depths of the hills and valleys of Karnataka province, this place is a historical pleasure for travelers. Surrounded by 500 ancient monuments, magnificent temples, bustling street markets, castles, monuments, and the remains of the lovely architecture of the Kingdom of Vijayanagar, Hampi is a collector's delight. Hampi is an open museum with 100+ locations that you can explore and a favorite way to see the city from its historical perspective.

Hampi was the capital of the state of Vijayanagar about 1500 AD, and by some accounts, the second-largest city in the world at that time. In the centuries that followed, it became less important, and you can now look at the ruins of many temples and shrines. The area around Hampi is as spectacular as the ruins itself - the city is surrounded by rocks of various sizes, and you can climb to the top with a little effort to get an amazing view of the whole city and geography. It is located on the banks of the Tungabhadra River. It is famous for its large, well-carved temples, especially the Temple of Virupaksha, dedicated to the ruling god. You can also find remnants of old canals, canals and shacks for soldiers and stables here. The Hampi was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1986 and many attempts have been made to reclaim the lost glory of the site - the most accessible modern facilities (if any) are allowed in a large area, giving a true feel to the ruins.
