Must-see attractions
Achyutaraya Temple
Hampi
　　At the southern end of Sule Bazaar is the beautiful Achyutaraya Temple, dating from 1534, one of the last great monuments constructed before the fall of Hampi. You approach the temple via two partly ruined gopuram (gateways). The central hall boasts elaborately carved pillars and sculptures, including Krishna dancing with...
Queen’s Bath
Hampi
　　South of the Royal Centre you’ll find various temples and elaborate waterworks, including the Queen’s Bath, deceptively plain on the outside but amazing within, featuring Indo-Islamic architecture. 　　Admission included with Vittala Temple admission. ...
Daroji Sloth Bear Sanctuary
Hampi
　　Amid scrubby, undulating terrain 21km south of Hampi, the Daroji Sloth Bear Sanctuary nurses a large population of free-ranging sloth bears in an area of 83 sq km. You have a good chance of spotting them, as honey is slathered on the rocks to coincide with the arrival of visitors....

Vittala Temple
Hampi
　　Hampi's most exquisite structure, the 16th-century Vittala Temple stands amid boulders 2.5km from Hampi Bazaar. Work possibly started on the temple during the reign of Krishnadevaraya (r 1509–29). The structure was never finished or consecrated, yet its incredible sculptural work remains the pinnacle of Vijayanagar art. 　　The courtyard's ornate stone...
Sule Bazaar
Hampi
　　Halfway along the path from Hampi Bazaar to Vittala Temple, a track to the right leads over the rocks to deserted Sule Bazaar, one of ancient Hampi’s principal centres of commerce and reputedly its red-light district. A near-kilometre-long stone colonnade flanking its eastern side is very well preserved. At the...
