📍 Destination Overview
Hampi in Karnataka, India, is the ruined capital of the great Hindu Vijayanagara Empire (14th-16th centuries), a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Hundreds of monuments rise among boulder-strewn terrain, chiefly the stone chariot and musical pillars of Vittala Temple and the active Virupaksha Temple, their grandeur merging with the surreal riverside rock landscape.
