Hampi is one of the most beautiful and evocative of all historical sites in south India. It was established as the seat of the Vijayanagara Empire in the mid 14th century, a time when art and architecture flourished. The city was conquered by Sultanate troops in CE 1565, pillaged for six months, and abandoned. People however continued to live in the region and worship continued in few temples. The sprawling heritage site encompasses several village settlements; the presence of these human settlements makes Hampi a living heritage site. We believe that people living in these settlements are an essential part of the site and therefore anything and everything rooted by local communities add to the cultural significance of the place. Explore Hampi is an attempt at building a tourism venture that makes locals stakeholders in its responsible development. We want to promote Hampi as a living heritage site; showcase the unique culture and beauty of the region along with the ruins of Hampi.

Visited Hill for sunset view. We parked our can near Hampi Bus stand and strolled towards hills which is 10 mins walk from the car parking. Started climbing hill up and reached to the top in just 25 minutes. The climbing hill isn’t very safe as the boulders are little curvy, slippery and there is nothing to hold for support. Don’t forget to carry water and a torch with you. View from the hilltop is breath taking. You can get a 360 degree surreal view of Hampi displaying Virupaksha temple, Hampi Bazaar, Boulders scattered to the places on one side and green paddy fields, Anjaneya Hills on the other side of the Tungabhadra river.
