Hampi is another world heritage site situated in Karnataka which will leave you in awe with its untouched beauty. You can get lost in endless rocks and ruins with amazing landscapes of rice fields and rivers in all its serenity. Here are my favorite things to do there:

# 1 – Sunsets

I witness the most amazing sunsets here in Hampi – the weather is perfectly warm around March and you can go venture out into the rocks and find awesome spots to get that perfect sunset view. As you sink into the amazing colors of magic hour a chaiwalla comes to you to sell you amazing chai to sip while you watch your sunset.

# 2 – Ancient Ruins

The majestic ruins of old temples are an absolute eye treat as they take you on a journey back in time. The 1st temple you will probably end up in will be The Virupaksha temple – when you go there make sure you get your blessing from the Elephant which feels really warm and fuzzy. The best part about all these ruins is the carvings and the details in each carvings.

# 3 Rice Fields Walks & Rock Climbing

The rice paddocks in Hampi are so beautiful – you feel a deep connection to earth as you go through these fields towards the endless walks into the rocks to go venture out into the wild. It is a perfect destination for wanderers who just want to explore.

# 4 The Locals

The locals are so friendly they love hanging out with you. When we ride around Hampi the locals spot you and go crazy waving at you and shouting “Hi!! Hello” “How are you?” and a simple smile and a wave back makes their day.

# 5 Monkey Temple

I love Monkey Temple – it has the most amazing view of Hampi from top and the rocks are so nice and warm to sit on. If you want to just find a beautiful spot to just chill and not move and maybe meditate this is the place to be. Best time to visit would be around 5 in the afternoon.
