Start your day with a tour of the Vijayanagar Empire ruins. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this ancient city has incredible architecture and history. Don't miss the Virupaksha Temple, Hazara Rama Temple, and the Elephant Stables.
Head to the Hampi Bazaar, a traditional market street with a wide variety of foods, clothes, and souvenirs. Don't forget to check out the Matanga Hill sunrise for beautiful views of the ruins and surrounding area. Afterwards, visit the Queen's Bath, an outdoor pool palace which was reserved for the Royal family.
Start your morning with a peaceful walk to the Anjeyanadri Hill to see the beautiful temple dedicated to Lord Hanuman. You can also explore the nearby caves and go further up the hill for amazing panoramic views of the area. Afterwards, go rock climbing at Hemakuta Hill. End your day with a relaxing boat ride on the River Tungabadra and watching the beautiful sunset.
If you have more time, consider taking a day trip to the Hospet Dam, a scenic location with beautiful gardens and a fun park. If you have less time, skip the boat ride and go straight to the Tungabadra Dam.
