Hampi Monuments Day Trip — Virupaksha, Vittala & the Stone Chariot
Hampi was the capital of the Vijayanagara empire and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site spread over 26 square kilometres of boulder country. The day covers the Virupaksha temple, still in worship; the Vittala temple with its stone chariot and musical pillars; the royal enclosure with the stepped tank and the Lotus Mahal; and the Elephant Stables. A guide is essential — the site is enormous and largely unlabelled.
