Most of the structures lie along the route from Kamalapura to Hampi.
One such place is the Dravidian-styled Malyavanta Raghunathaswamy temple
that has marine monsters carved on its outer walls. The 6.7-meter tall
monolith of Ugra Narasimha in Hampi images Krishnadevaraya’s love for
architectural splendours. In fact, the Bazaar at Hampi images truly the
town’s eclectic mixture of the ancient and the modern.
Spread across 9 sq. miles, Hampi can easily be reached by road, rail
and air through Hospet. While regular buses ply to Hampi from all nearby
towns and cities. Those who wish to travel by air need to fly to
Tomagallu, Bellary or Belgaum and travel by road from there. Hospet,
which is 13 km away, has a railway station and several road transport
facilities that help you reach Hampi easily.
And if you though Hampi is all about ruins, here’s some adventure for
the thrill-seekers. The Daroji Bear Sanctuary situated on the outskirts
of Hampi offers some great scenic beauty and up-close views of Indian
sloth bears. So gear up, pack your bags and set of to the land that has
tales to tell.
