hampi 3-

Hampi has great sunrises…

…and sunsets!

And places to watch them from!

Get an early start on one of the days you’re there, and climb the 700 steps that will take you to the top of the Anjanadri Hill - believed to be the birthplace of Anjana’s son, Anjaneya, otherwise known as Hanuman - before dawn.

Watch in silence as the sun’s first rays burnish the granite hills around you in shades of copper and bronze, and turn the dark twisty ribbon of the Tungabhadra into liquid gold.  Don’t miss the show in reverse, from the ‘sunset point’ on Matanga Hill.

Rest assured that even the kids will hush up for this spectacle - they will be exhausted from a day’s worth of wandering among the rocks, sure, but there is also something about a Hampi sunset that calms the most restless mind and fills the heart with gladness.
