amazement at every step, originally uploaded by alwaysforward.

With no exaggeration, not a single moment in Hampi goes by without fascinating you. Every step you take will reveal so many hidden beauties.

There is just so much to say about Hampi that I don't even know where to start. Google it. I mean it, really, read about it. You'll see that it's well worth your time. It is one of the most astonishing places that I have ever seen!! It's full of ancient temples, monuments, ruins from the Vijayanagara Empire scattered all around a vast area, most of which are still erect and absolutely amazing. Every stone in Hampi has a story to tell. It's located on the banks of the Tungabhadra River.

Hampi is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
