This backpacking trip to Hampi takes you into the craggy, boulder-strewn landscape right out of an Indiana Jones movie as you travel to the towns of Hampi, Badami and Anegundi. You'll explore the dreamy riverside town of Hampi, with its ancient temples inhabited by monkeys. You'll explore the red sandstone canyon and caves of Badami, and wander through the rock-cut temple that stands beside Agastya lake. You'll take a cycle ride through quiet roads and bumpy trails through paddy fields, and take a boat trip in a primitive coracle that drifts slowly through the green river, between the weather-bleached rocks of Anegundi.
On this backpacking trip to Hampi, you'll visit hippie cafes to taste exotic cuisine and stay at homestays to experience local culture. This slow-paced adventure is perfect for those looking for an offbeat holiday, with a heady mix of nature, activity, history, and relaxed outdoorsy fun.
