Hampi

After a few days in Kutle beach I decided to move on. The next destination was Hampi, a village with ruins of an ancient Hindu empire capital. It's located more than 200 km east from Gokarna, and there's only a local bus in low season. It was a long journey, but since the road was flat, it was ok. The place is amazing, the ruins are spread around a huge area, impressive temples and hundreds of gigantic boulders.



















It's hard to believe humans did this amount of work, especially in the ancient times. There was a full moon yesterday, and also a lunar eclipse, the sky was full of lightenings and the whole scene seemed to be taken out of some fairy tale.
