What is Hampi famous for?
The Lost city of Hampi, the capital of the once glorious Vijayanagar Empire and the ancient Kishkindha Kingdom from Ramayana was abandoned after it was burnt for months by the Deccan Sultanates in the medieval period. It was only in the late 19th and 20th centuries that its importance was rediscovered.
So Hampi has both historical and religious significance. Tourists are a mix of general tourists who want to explore India and pilgrims, who are especially looking to visit places related to Ramayana, in particular the Anjaneyadri Hill, which is a fulfilling and moderately difficult climb of 575 steps to the top of the mountain.
