It’s spectacular!
A hodge-podge of hulking grey boulders [keien] - shaped by water and wind into doughnuts, obelisks, almost-spheres and pancakes - casually sit around the Hampi landscape in the thousands, gathered into mini-hills, stacked into towers, or proudly solitary, looking for all the world like the discarded playing blocks [speelblokken] of a bunch of giant and rowdy [lawaaierige] children.
A river - the mighty Tungabhadra - runs through it, nourishing the emerald-green paddies [rijstvelden] and darker-green banana plantations on both its banks, and beyond.
Pack a picnic lunch and find a high spot-with-a-view by the river, or the Pampa Sarovar lake, or the reservoir of the Tungabhadra Dam, to savour the landscape properly. Oh, and enthusiastic birders will find plenty of wonderful avian life to engage them for hours.
