HAMPI 

Romancing the Stones

Hampi is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was the capital city of the famous 14th Century Vijayanagara Empire. Located on the Tungabhadra river in Karnataka, Hampi is historically famous as the seat of South India's largest, wealthiest and most powerful empire. Its magnificent ruins, remarkable landscape and religious and mythological associations make it an outstanding destination of international significance. Our road trip to the historical town of Hampi was made comfortable by Arjun Tours & Travels. Our chauffeur Shadakshari hails from a team that's driven by passion and excellence that ensured that our holiday was perfect in every way.

On our recent visit to this historical town, we stayed at the Evolve Back Kamalapura Palace, Hampi. This sprawling resort finds its inspiration from the architecture of the famous 14th century Vijayanagara Empire. Located in typical Hampi landscape, with stunning scrub forests and rugged boulders forming its backdrop, Evolve Back Kamalapura Palace, Hampi blends seamlessly into the past. The moment we set foot here we felt as if we were time travelling to a bygone era of the magnificent Vijayanagara Empire.
