Historic Hampi is an ancient city that grew and bustled on the banks of River Tungabhadra in Karnataka, India.

Scattered with ruins, Hampi today is a living museum of India's past glory During the medieval period, Muslim rulers of the north, one being Muhammed Bin Tughlaq, led a plundering mission here. Later, two Hindu brothers Harihara and Bukka, sent as emissaries by the Tughlaqs, went on to set up an independent state here and founded the new capital city of Vijayanagar in 1343. Hampi remained the capital of the great Vijaynagar Empire between the 14th and 16th centuries.

Hampi city is segregated into three distinct parts, the Hampi bazaar that is an enchanting medley of massive elephant stables, temples, tanks and bathing ghats; the royal enclave and a tiny village.

While on a Hampi tour you must explore attractions such as the Vithala Temple, Virupaksha Temple, Hazara Rama Temple and the large elephant stables.

A world heritage site, Hampi is a city strewn with profusely sculpted boulders, carved palaces and shrines - each with a tale to tell…Some interesting sculptures and structures that arrest your attention on a Hampi tour include the 9 feet tall Sasivikalu Ganesha, Pushkarini Tank, Mahanavami Dibba, Lotus Mahal, King's Balance and the Queen's Bath.
