Hampi
Hampi (¹¦ª, Hampe in Kannada) is a village in northern Karnataka, on the banks of the Tungabhadra River in India. Hampi is located within the ruins of Vijayanagara, the former capital of the Vijayanagara empire. Possibly predating the city of Vijayanagara, this village continues to be an important religious centre, housing the Virupaksha Temple. The village of Hampi contains several other monuments belonging to the old city. It extends into some of the old ceremonial streets of Vijayanagara. A Hindu temple naga decoration at Hampi.

Vegetation is visible in the wet months; but again it never dominates the landscape. It is an ideal spot for people who are interested in history and/or nature.
There are many sites of interest in and around Hampi. The must-visits are Virupaksha Temple, Hampi Bazaar, Monolith Bull, Lakshmi Narasimha temple, Hemakuta Hill temples, Big Shivlinga, Vithala Temple (the famous Stone Chariot is located here), Hazara Rama Temple, Royal Enclosures, Queen's Bath, Zanana Enclosure (which also houses the Lotus Mahal), Elephant Stables, Achyut Raya temple, Statue of Ugra Narsimha, Virupaksha Temple, Mahanavmi Dibba, the Stepped Bath and the Matanga Hill (from where one can see the most beautiful sun set ever).
Take a ride in the or in the Tungabhadra river to see some beautiful rock forms caused by erosion over the years or to croos over - Reports as of August 2007 indicate that Government has banned these boats but deployed a motor boat for river crossings (Rs. 5 per Indian per one way crossing, Rs. 10 for non Indians).
There are also several along the river which the boatman will guide you to.
The old capital called Anegundi, across the river from Hampi also has many sites. The Monkey Temple on Anjenaya Hill (involves climbing up 572 steps) and the Old Palace are definitely worth a visit.
To do justice to all the sites, one needs a minimum of 3 full days of sight seeing.
