Vijaya Vittala Temple

Reviewed By 957adityan

I am thrill and surprise that 400 years back there was so much Science and knowledge available on Stone carving, design thought symmetry, architectural view and out of world Music Pillar (unfortunately it now closed for visitor) To see detail carving on Stone Chariot itself will take some time. I strongly wish they should start every hour demonstration program (Strictly security guided) with tickets. As other Hampi temples this one big temple but many sculpture are destroyed and so pooja / archana happen at this place. Area is so specious and well maintain by archelogy department. Kudos. They have kept Battery operated vehicle from entrance to temple which is also good. One suggestion for such place guide is must and Charges for guide should be formally displayed at ticket entrance. Or Now Audio Guide facility should be available. Toilets & Washroom needed for Visitor which is missing.

Try a late afternoon ( around 5) visit, usually it is empty and very peaceful. The road to the temple is also very pretty.

Achyutaraya Temple

Reviewed By EileenMtShasta - Mount Shasta, United States

Very big temple complex with beautifully preserved carvings and construction. On the right side as you go on, there is a small platform which leads to the Matanga Hill steps. It is an easier route then the steps that are straight down the street from the Virupaksha Temple.

Hampi

Reviewed By axxmexx - Boston, United States

We traveled from the US and visited Hampi with our parents (who live in India) for the first time ever. Every place we have visited at Hampi is really an architectural wonder, can't even imagine what it was like during its glory days when this city was functioning. We loved observing the details on stone carvings, our favorite was the Stone Chariot. I have to mention these points from our experience: Access: getting to Hampi is not easy, you will experience some of the very rural and poor parts of India/Karnataka state, by all means, its not Hampi's fault for its location. India is improving, I really hope, Hampi is made accessible through the fast highway. Fee: Another sad thing is that the access fee, my wife (an American citizen) had to pay more than 10 times the fee for Indians, this is a sad display of discrimination of tourists who love India and spend so much in India virtually helping the economy otherwise. Food: If you prefer hygiene, I highly recommend you bring your food (snacks, power bars etc.). Plenty of coconut water is available (if you like it). We wandered for hours to find a decent restaurant and then finally gave up and went back to the Hotel.
