Adventure Forever invites you for one of the most amazing backpacking trip to mystical Hampi to experience history, ruins and cafes like Hippies. Hampi is a small yet enchanting temple town located on the banks of the River Tungabhadra, bounded by the intriguing historical ruins of Vijayanagara city in the state of Karnataka. Packed to bursting with rock cut temples, towering piles of boulders, buzzing backpacker enclaves and fascinating history, non-pushy Hampi has everything you need to have a truly fantastic time. Hampi has an air of lost glory and yet many of the temples and rock carvings, depicting beauties and beasts, gods and demons, are still in excellent condition. Even if you have only the faintest interest in Indian history, travelling to this village offers a fantastic opportunity to soak in a sight of real historical importance.
