After a
while without any news here, wanna catch up and write a bit about my way from Gokarna to
Hampi, Kerala and so on. Here we go!
I had heard great comments about Hampi even before coming to India, and after being here the same from many other travelers. Once someone told me that when one arrives in Hampi, will be sure that God exists. In my case, particularly, I already believed in God before going there, nevertheless the place is unique; indeed the creator was really generous when planned that place.
The energy of the town itself creates a perfect environment where one can spend days and days even without doing any tourism, just watching the mountains, the river… But of course that it’s worth to go check some of the many tourist attractions, such as the ruins, the lake and the area around it, the hanuman temple for an amazing sunset, say hi to the elephant Lakshmi at the temple – and maybe even see her taking a bath in the river if you are lucky, I wasn’t.
Ah, it’s nice to mention that renting a bike was one of the best things we did, because it gives you freedom to make your own schedule and makes it possible to visit most of the places you want.
Well, fully recommend the place; it’s definitely a must in India!
After an awesome
stay in Gokarna and a night without much sleep on one of those sleeper buses – I’ve
never been lucky on those sleepers – my amazing friend Dinah and I arrived to
Hampi early in the morning. Leaving the bus we met Balasz, who was also in the
same bus as we were and became a friend. Good times! J

Balasz and Dinah - Sunset around Hanuman Temple
View of old market and temple
Ruins. Many mountains surround the town and the rocks seem to have been put one by one there, unbelievable!
The lake is an amazing spot for a bath!
Sunset from Hanuman Temple. Be prepared for a good walk up the stairs and hide the bananas if the intention is not feeding the monkeys! ;)
