When you think of history and mythology in India, there are many places that quickly come to your mind like Kurukshetra, Dwarka and Sarnath and many more. Among these great historical places there is one that does bring out a true old world charm- Hampi! A capital during the time of the Vijayanagar Empire, an important seat during their rule, fought many dynasties to avoid being captured and blessed with some exquisitely carved monuments that simply leave you awe-struck. A great time with your family is in store for you at Hampi.

When one thinks of embarking on a road trip or a vacation that includes a small town or village, it is best to be prepared to not expect malls or great roads or even late night shopping escapades or a particularly vibrant nightlife. Hampi nightlife is similar to that of a small town being equal to nil. With a handful or restaurants of chill out places open in the night, nightlife in Hampi is not something to be looked forward too. During the day you can explore the village with its spectacular monuments and temples, each more unique and exquisite than the other; however with nightfall you may not find many things to do here. You can possibly sit back in your hotel and relax, catch a bite or two at the restaurant nearby or maybe take a short stroll to refresh yourself in the night. Besides this, there really isn’t much that you can indulge in during the night.

To set your night in motion, you can definitely climb atop the Matunga Hill and witness a spectacular sunset that leaves you in a state of awe, with the fading rays of the sun falling across the rocks and boulders. A great place for some great clicks; you can try your photography skills at this point and capture the most beautiful scenes at this time. It is however advisable to consult with the locals before going out at nightfall or twilight as it is, after all, a new town and only the locals would know their way around. One more way to enjoy Hampi nightlife is to gorge on some local cuisines that are delicious and unique.

A heritage village with lots to explore and much to offer to tourists, Hampi should be visited atleast once during your journey!
