The trip to Hampi can be easily described as a photographer’s heaven with huge opportunity to capture the lost world. The sunsets over heritage buildings, landscape, exploratory nature of people can be very well captured in the place. I have placed my collection which can be found from the following image link.
These trip photos might not do justice in all respect but they will surely give you a glimpse of what lies ahead of you.
We had hired bikes on rent which is a common practice and are also easily available on very economical prices. Even with more people, I would suggest you to hire bikes as some places might be difficult for bigger vehicles to maneuver.
Just visit the city to get immersed in the life of those times. Just remember to treat the sites with respect otherwise they will soon be gone forever and things like these can never be re-created.
