Virupaksha TempleDay 1

Day 1

Virupaksha Temple

The one temple in Hampi that never stopped functioning, with a fifty-metre gopuram over the bazaar street. The temple elephant is walked down to the river to be washed each morning, which is worth getting up for.

Matanga Hill

Day 1

Matanga Hill

The highest geographic point in the ruins, accessible via a steep stepped trail and famous for panoramic sunset views over the entire stone landscape.

Vittala Temple Complex

Day 1

Vittala Temple Complex

The stone chariot is a Garuda shrine rather than a vehicle, and its wheels once turned. The musical pillars in the hall are now roped off — too many people struck them. Come at opening; this is the most visited thing in Hampi.
