About The Trip

Hampi: The Land of Boulders, Temples, and Timeless Stories

Nestled on the banks of the Tungabhadra River, Hampi is a place where history breathes through ancient ruins and landscapes that feel almost otherworldly. Once the capital of the mighty Vijayanagara Empire, today Hampi draws travellers for its breathtaking blend of history, adventure, and rustic village charm.

Massive granite boulders scattered across the land invite climbers and explorers alike, while intricately carved temples and royal structures tell stories from centuries past. This journey isn’t just about sightseeing — it’s about experiencing Hampi’s raw energy: hiking to hidden sunset spots, bouldering under expert guidance, and camping under a canopy of stars.

Detail Itinerary

Private Vehicle | (Push back seats bus)

Stay Not Applicable


Details

Hop on for an overnight journey to the magical land of Hampi. You’ll be joined by a fun bunch — solo travelers, adventure seekers, and weekenders looking for a break from routine. We ease into the trip with some icebreakers, shake off the weekday stress, and settle in for the night as we head toward a sunrise adventure waiting in Hampi



Breakfast, Dinner | (Self sponsered Lunch)

Private Vehicle

Tents | (Multiple sharing basis separate for men and women Doms / Rooms / Tents)


Details

We arrive in Hampi in the morning, freshen up, and have breakfast before heading straight into adventure mode.

First up: bouldering — one of the most unique ways to experience Hampi. For anyone new to it, bouldering is a form of climbing done on natural rock surfaces, without ropes, but close to the ground, with crash pads for safety. It’s a fun, beginner-friendly introduction to climbing and a perfect way to connect with Hampi’s dramatic landscape.

And here’s something worth knowing: climbing shoes are intentionally snug and often a size smaller than your usual shoes. The tighter fit helps your feet stay secure, providing a better grip, precision, and control while navigating small holds on the rock.

After bouldering, we explore the quiet charm of Anegundi, wandering through its laid-back streets and soaking in the vibe. Lunch is at one of Hampi’s popular cafes (self-sponsored) — no better way to relax after an active morning.

In the evening, we head out for an offbeat sunset hike to a lesser-known viewpoint, offering stunning views of Hampi bathed in golden light.

We wrap up the day back at our stay with a cosy dinner, campfire conversations and a night under the stars — camping that feels just right after a day packed with experiences.



Breakfast | (Self sponsered Lunch & Dinner)


Details

We start the day with a refreshing breakfast before diving into Hampi’s rich heritage.

Our first stop is Virupaksha Temple, one of the oldest functioning temples in India, dating back to the 7th century. This temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, has stood the test of time and continues to be the spiritual heart of Hampi even today.

Next, we make our way to the Lotus Mahal, a beautiful example of Indo-Islamic architecture. Its delicate arches and lotus-like design were built for the women of the royal household and it remains one of the most photogenic spots in Hampi.

From there, we head to the Elephant Stables, a massive and impressive structure that once housed royal elephants. The domed chambers and symmetry here give you a glimpse of how grand life was during the Vijayanagara Empire.

We continue to the iconic Vittala Temple, famous for its stone chariot and musical pillars — each pillar, when struck, produces a musical note, a true testament to the craftsmanship of that era.

After exploring these historical marvels, we break for lunch (self-sponsored) before heading out to Hemakuta Hill temple or Matanga Hill in the evening. These spots offer some of the most breathtaking panoramic views of Hampi — the perfect place to sit quietly and watch the sun set over ancient ruins and rolling boulders.

We wrap up the trip by departing Hampi around 7:00 PM, stop for dinner at Hospet (self-sponsored), and drive overnight to reach Bangalore by early morning — memories packed, camera rolls full, and mind refreshed.
