Most people visit Hampi because it is one of the well-known World Heritage Sites in India but there are many hidden places around Hampi that are worth visiting. There are monuments enough to occupy your attention, and it is easy to get lost in them, and spend days just wandering around the ancient city, re-discovering bits of heritage in every nook and corner. However, what people don’t know is that around Hampi lies heritage even older than Hampi itself, traces of an ancient civilization, of humans who first set foot in this land, of dynasties which gave way to Vijayanagar Empire, and above all this, a natural heritage which has survived all the kingdoms, and wars which laid them waste. These are just as interesting as Hampi itself, and if you are visiting Hampi, you should take time out to visit some of these too.
