Hampi


    19th March, Sun, 2000
    Hampi

    (Photos/pics for this travelogue might be available on My Tourism Photo Album)

    With my family, I went to Hampi.  Its a beautiful place which used to be VijayaNagar empire's capital.  The town was founded in early fourteenth century.  There is an overnight train from Bangalore to Hospet and vice versa.   The reservations are relatively easily available.  Hampi is less than 10 km. from Hospet.  You should stay in Hampi for 2-3 days minimum and hire a bicycle to wander around the serene and picturesque surroundings.  Main venues are Elephants' stable, The Queen's Palace, Main temple, Queen's Bath, Underground temple, Chariot temple, Musical pillars, Irrigation system etc.  Also, there's Tungabhadra Dam nearby Hospet.
