Hampi or Vijayanagara

Absolutely! Hampi is generally safe for solo travelers. We recommend informing your accommodation about your daily plans and carrying a basic pepper spray for peace of mind. We can also arrange tours with experienced guides for an extra layer of security.

Witness the vibrant Hampi Utsav (November) showcasing dance, music, and colorful processions. In October, experience the grandeur of Vijaya Dashami, a ten-day Hindu festival culminating in a spectacular chariot procession.

We offer a variety of options to suit your preferences. Choose from comfortable guesthouses near the ruins, serene homestays in local villages, or luxurious resorts overlooking the Tungabhadra River.

Yes, to respect religious sentiments, modest clothing is recommended. Avoid shorts, sleeveless shirts, and skimpy clothing when entering temples. Most temples provide shawls or dhotis ( sarung-like garments) for visitors to cover bare legs or shoulders.

Autorickshaws are the most common mode of transport for short distances within Hampi and Hospet. Bicycles are a great way to explore the ruins at your own pace. For longer distances, taxis and rickshaws can be hired for day trips to surrounding areas.
