Anyone with a passion for history, ruins, picturesque rocks & rural life should visit Hampi & the older city, Anegundi.
At Hampi, take our Vijayanagara tour, the last Hindu empire that defended itself against the Islamic invasion of India. Its prosperity was so high that an ancient traveller once described—"the jewels that bedecked the royal horse was richer than the entire city of Paris". A cosmopolitan culture, rich in trade and natural resources, great kings - its fall was much like Rome and we hear its glory only through the old travellers’ tales.
Across the river, discover Anegundi - a picture of green fields among rockier terrain. With a story older than Hampi, it is also the holy place, Kishkinda, from the great Hindu epic Ramayana—a place fought for by the mighty monkey king Vali, in a jealous rage, with his brother Sugreeva. It’s also home to pre-historic cave drawings, rural landscape and rocky ruins.
