About the trip

A lost city on the UNESCO World Heritage List

If, during your stay in Goa, you'd like to discover a place that captivates with its history, architecture and extraordinary landscape — Hampi is the perfect choice. In the 14th–16th centuries it was one of the largest and wealthiest metropolises in the world, dazzling travellers with its palaces, temples and sprawling bazaars. Today, among monumental temples, royal palaces and granite hills, the atmosphere of the former Vijayanagara Empire is easy to feel. You'll explore in a private, air-conditioned car with a driver, accompanied on site by a licensed English-speaking guide. It's a journey for those who want to see the true heritage of India — far from the beaten track and at an unhurried pace.

The Stone Chariot — the icon of Hampi (Vittala Temple) Virupaksha Temple — in continuous worship for over 700 years The Royal Centre, Lotus Mahal and the Elephant Stables Sunset from Hemakuta or Matanga Hill A traditional coracle ride on the Tungabhadra River
Itinerary

3 days, day by day

Day 1 · Goa → Hampi

First encounter with the empire

Departure from Goa and, on arrival, sightseeing begins with a licensed guide: Virupaksha Temple, Hampi Bazaar and a viewpoint over the Tungabhadra River. Check-in and time to unwind in the evening.

Day 2 · Hampi

The heart of the lost city

The Vittala complex with the Stone Chariot and its musical pillars, the Royal Centre, Hazara Rama Temple, Lotus Mahal and the Elephant Stables, ending with sunset on Hemakuta or Matanga Hill. Overnight stay.

Day 3 · Hampi → Goa

Back to the beach

After breakfast, with memories to last a lifetime, the private car takes you back to Goa.

At a gentler pace, you might also consider the Archaeological Museum in Kamalapur, the Queen's Bath, the underground Shiva temple or Anjanadri Hill (by tradition the birthplace of Hanuman). Hampi is a photographer's paradise — its granite boulders and ancient temples at sunrise and sunset rank among the most photogenic sights in India.
