Ever
since I read about this place called Hampi in my school history books it was an
instant entrant in my must visit places. Being a big history buff Hampi got me
excited each and every time I read something new about its lustrous historical
background. So after two and a half years and with multiple failed attempt to
plan a trip to Hampi, I along with my partner in crimes Akash and Sourav
finally made a trip out to Hampi in the last week of week of January’17. Call
it a curious case of my procrastinating mind I am yet to write about any of my
past travelling experience be it the Ooty trip or a trek to Kumar Pravata but
with this out I hope to come out with the rest soon.
Hampi is
located on the banks over Tungabhadra around 385 km from Bangalore towards
north of Karnataka. It was the capital to the glorious Vijaynagara Empire and
was accounted as one of the richest city in the world at its peak. Now gone are
the Empires and the riches and all that remains are the acres and acres of ruin
singing an ode to the beautiful time it had.
