The old walls: Part 1

A sudden and unplanned trip to Hampi was something that I will cherish forever. It was a desperate attempt to go somewhere with friends and Hampi happened because we couldn't manage any other place due to last moment planning. And trust me, it was worth, Hampi happening to me. Right from my first step to this small place that served as the capital of the Vijayanagara Empire, every part of this place have made me fall in love with it. Each piece of ruin stands for the grandeur and rich culture of the glorious empire that ruled India for more than 3 centuries. A mesmerized me, so overwhelmed with the trip and still admiring what my eyes could behold!

  1. awesome sanju, indeed it's beautiful place i too visited that place but trust me when it rains there, then you can really see the architecture of the place. where the water comes and goes and also stores you will be amazed to see that. i have all the potos in my facebook. so i could say every one being in karnataka and did not visited HUMPI its a waste.
