Hampi is one of the UNESCO Global Heritage Sites located in Vijayanagar district, Karnataka, and is a good feast for heritage lovers. The best time to visit is from October to March, and I suggest avoiding the summer season because of the hot weather.
Hampi was the capital city of Vijayanagar, Empier, from 1336 to 1565, as per the chronicles of Persian and European travelers, particularly the Portuguese. It was a flourishing grand city near the Tungabhadra River and the world's second-largest city after Beijing when a coalition of Muslim sultanates defeated the Vijayanagar Empire. After that, Hampi remained in ruins.
The top place to visit Hampi.
Hambi has more than 75 sports to visit; the better option is to take one rental bike; it will be worth it, and the auto option is also available, but for major sports only. Don't miss the Matanga Hills sunrise below; I mentioned a few sports.
