Go Bouldering in Hampi

The historically rich region of Hampi makes for the perfect setting for adrenaline pumping activities. Offering a great mix of bouldering and camping, with a heritage trek thrown in, this two night trip showcases the destination in its entirety. The accommodation is at a campsite nestled amidst lush organic farms. While the second day is all about the incredible historical treasures, the first day includes a hike through a hidden trail, and bouldering. Climbing these big boulders and traversing the smooth surface, under the guidance of professionals, is followed by the thrill of jumping off cliffs into refreshing water bodies. As you carry on with the hike, the trail leads you to an amazing spot to catch a scenic sunset. On the second day, soak in the architectural beauty of the temples–some of our top picks are the famous Vittala Temple that is known for its unique stone chariot, Lotus Mahal for its intricate architecture, and the Virupaksha Temple for its grandeur. End the tour with a spectacular sunset at the Hemakuta Hill Temple. plantheunplanned.​com
