Dawn to Dusk How we explored the best of HAMPI in a day. Hampipictures WeekendWorthy

Day 1

Hampi

It was a Saturday night.We took the Bus at 11pm from Yeshwantpur (Bengaluru) and we have reached Hosepeth before sunrise,There we met a autowala who agreed to show us all of Hampi for Rs1400. We were very excited and headed for Hampi which is around 14 Kms from Hospete. We had enough of time for sunrise so we decided to first Visit the Sunrise Point on the hilltop.
The sunrise point is on a hilltop very close to the Virupaksha temple and can be reached with a 30 minutes trrek. We reached there on time and witnessed one of the best sunrise in our life,with fresh air and the scenic beauty all around, the sun came out of the horizon and raised slowly in front of us from the never ending rocky hills and stone bed, a river was flowing gently on the left side down the hill, green spread banana farms were on the right and numerous ancient temples were seen all-around , altogether the ambience was so peaceful and overwhelming , we enjoyed every second of being there, the views were amazingly beautiful.

We came down the hills,took a lodge and got ready, then had some breakfast at a local cafe the view and ambience of the cafe was very nice but the prices were set up for foreign tourists,thus was a bit expensive.
With a fresh mind and happy stomach we again started to explore Hampi. We went to the temples and saw the ruins of Vijaynagar Dynasty along with the remainings of markets, temples and ponds from the time of king Krishnadev Rai

Outside these temples is a Abandoned market place from the ancient time, one could easily reimagine how prosperous the dynasty would have been at the time. Though the ponds were dry , it still looked so beautiful, and we got some really nice pictures.

Throughout the day we explored every possible place and saw places and things like never before.

It was time for the dusk and we went to the sunset point , again on the top of another hill.
We reached and the sun was already there.It felt magical.The pureness of Hampi and the greatness of Lord Shiva could be felt everywhere. The day ended with a wonderful sunset and we made lots of unforgettable memories that day. I loved every minute spent in Hampi.
