There she is!
... for the day... dinner at old faithful Mango Tree and hit the sack pretty early. There's not much of a bar/club scene in Hampi, considering you can't get booze. And I guess standing around a table, drinking fifteen cups of chai over the course of an ...
Wieder in Bewegung / On the move again
... Show muss weitergehen und so habe ich meinen Goa- Urlaub nach 5 Wochen beendet und habe mich in Bewegung gesetztund nach Hampi manövriert. Mit knapp 400km etwas viel fuer den ersten Tag, aber der Verkehr war weniger abenteuerlich als die Strassen. ...

the scene at Hampi
... . I visited and the area is much more peaceful, with only guesthouses and restaurants. I can understand why bakcpackers shun Hampi Bazaar - travelling in India is hot, crowded, loud, manic. After two months in the coconut woods in Kovalam, however, I am ...

Illness and illegal kingfisher
Had a relatively unproductive day as hampi only really requires 1 day to see most of what it has to offer....although we did wade across the river instead of taking the boats we usually take to cross. We thought we were being adventurous, but kim ruined ...
Happy Hampi

... focus of the celebration - to the temple on their shoulders. The next morning whilst exploring the still-functioning temple in Hampi, I witnessed something so surreal that even now I'm not sure it really happened. As I was standing on the main ...
Templeishious Hampi
... a village surrounded by 75 or more temples. Most are Hindu but a few Muslim ruins still remain dating back to pre-conflicts. Hampi is a surreal place, the landscape is covered in sandstone rocks that look as if they have been placed there to create some ...
Bathing an Elephant!
... I pestered the keeper until he agreed I could help with the morning bath the next day! I had read about a man who rode across India on an Elephant and wanted to bath one ever since. So the next morning I got up at sunrise and went down to the river ...
Hampi

The ancient city of Hampi
... and bus to Hampi, arriving the next day. As we passed Murudeshwar on the train I could see the 40m high idol of Shiva. Arriving at Hampi in the late afternoon, it was 38 degrees and I think the hottest place for me so far. I adopted the habit of wearing a ...
Hampi
... courtesy of 4 local buses and possibly the slowest tuktuk driver ever. Not quite sure how I can describe this place. Surrounding Hampi are the ruins of the Vijayanager empire. Many of the ruins were only discovered and excavated in the early ...
The dark side!
... floor on cushions whilst going about your hedonistic ways. We got chatting and playing cards with this Austrian couple who were in Hampi mainly for the bouldering, which was pretty sweet. There's a big rock-climbing culture in Austria they were saying, I ...

Bush Comes to India
... have more citizens here than the U.S. Maybe its just a matter of not being granted enough vacation to make a trip to India worthwhile? I don't know. Tonight I am headed to Bangalore in order to catch a train heading to Mysore and then into the hill ...

Ein untergegangenes Koenigreich wie im Maerchen

A step back in time in Hampi
Travelling to the town of Hampi proved more exhausting than expected. We left Baga on a 5.30am taxi to Madgaon from where we caught a morning train which 8 hours later left us in a town called Hospet, followed by a 30 minute tuk-tuk to Hampi to top ...
