Some of the fun things to do at Hampi are taking a coracle ride in the nearby Tungabhadra river.
These round cane boats have been a mode of transport here from the 15th century. You can also
hire a bicycle and take the trail down to any of the interesting ruins, go bouldering or trekking.
Some must-visits are Vijaya Vittala, the extraordinary architectural marvel with 56 musical pillars,
which create melodic sounds when tapped delicately, the stunning Virupaksha and Krishna
temples, the Royal Enclosure with the Queen’s bath and Lotus Mahal (palace).
Anegundi, or Kishkindha, the capital of the Vijayanagar empire is a fine repository of neolithic
history and prehistoric rock art, represented by Mourya Mane, a several-thousand-year-old Stone
Age colony. You can visit the birthplace of Hanuman, the monkey god, or peek at the ancient
elephant stable, where the city’s elephants were fed, bathed and trained for battle and other
activities
