Hampi
is a picturesque and remote Indian village, dotted with magnificent
14th to 16th century ruins that are spread along the Tungabhadra
River in Karnataka, southern India. A UNESCO World Heritage Site
since 1986, the Hindu kingdom of Vijayanagar once ruled all of
Southern India.
Set in a fantastical, otherworldly landscape of huge weather-beaten
granite boulders, rolling hills and green verdant valleys, this
ancient kingdom appears to exist on another planet, or at least,
in a time that is long past. To this day, tourist development
is limited and the area retains an over-worldly quiet beauty,
rarely found in bustling India.
