1. Visit at the Right Time: The best time to visit is October to February — cool weather and clear skies make exploring temples and hills comfortable. Avoid the peak summer months (April–June); temperatures can soar above 40°C! ️
2. Plan at Least 2–3 Days: Hampi isn’t a one-day stop! There’s too much to see — from ancient temples and royal ruins to riverbanks and bouldering sites. Keep one day for temples, one for adventure, and another just to relax and soak in the views.
3. Wear Comfortable Footwear: You’ll walk a lot! The terrain can be uneven with steps, sand, and rocks. Opt for sturdy walking shoes or sandals — leave the fancy ones for dinner time.
4. Stay Hydrated & Sun-Protected: Carry a water bottle, sunscreen, hat, and sunglasses. Many sites are open with little shade, so protect yourself from the sun while exploring.
5. Catch the Sunrise & Sunset: The Matanga Hill sunrise and Hemakuta Hill sunset are unmissable! Go early, take a flashlight if needed, and enjoy the magic.
6. Respect the Heritage: Many temples are still active places of worship — dress modestly and maintain silence. Avoid climbing or touching ancient carvings; they’re fragile and priceless.
7. Explore Like a Local: Rent a bicycle, scooter, or tuk-tuk to move between attractions. Chat with locals — they often share fun stories and lesser-known viewpoints.
8. Stay in the Heart of It: Choose eco-friendly stays or riverside guesthouses in Hampi Bazaar or Anegundi for easy access and great views.
9. Try Local Food: Don’t miss banana pancakes, thalis, coconut water, and lassi at places like The Mango Tree and Laughing Buddha Café.
10. Carry Cash: ATMs are limited and digital payments may not always work in remote areas. Keep some cash handy for local purchases.
11. Slow Down & Soak It In: Hampi is best enjoyed at a relaxed pace. Sit by the river, watch the sunset, listen to the temple bells — let the place whisper its stories to you.
Bonus Tip:
If you’re visiting in October 2025, don’t miss the Hampi Utsav — a vibrant festival celebrating art, music, and dance amidst the ruins!
