About this tour
We believe that everyone should try and spend at least 2 or 3 days in Hampi! However, if you’re truly pressed for time and would like to see some of Hampi’s best sites in just one day, we’ve got you covered. We suggest a car tour covering:
The beautiful Virupaksha Temple, which attracts pilgrims from far and wide. Virupaksha was the patron deity of Vijayanagara. His name refers to Shiva’s third eye, which burnt the god of love to ashes
The spectacular monolithic granite carvings of Narasimha, Badavi Shiva Lingam and Sasivekalu Ganesha
The expansive Vitthala Temple, one of the pinnacles of Vijayanagara architecture
The royal’s enclave’s Elephant Stables and Lotus Mahal, built in Indo-Islamic style
We would be happy to modify the tour based on your preferences.

There is a good deal of walking within the monuments, so please ensure you wear comfortable shoes and are adequately hydrated.
