Excursions
The charm of Hampi is irresistible and captures you on arrival simply because of its incredible landscape: an empire built amongst giant boulder-strewn hills.

This is a landscape to explore. You can walk up the river to a group of secluded romantic rock pools to relax and cool down in the fresh water. Alternatively you can cross the river on a boat or coracle and swim in the large rock strewn sacred lakes.
