Let's time travel to experience the legacy of one of the India's most ancient & prosperous kingdoms of Vijayanagara - The Hampi :)
As we marvel at the historical wonder that is Hampi, since it's a long weekend, we will also travel Badami - yet another place with it's history dating back to ancient Indian kingdom of Ashoka & a wonder in itself!
Words cannot explain these magnificent sites, so let's experience in our own muddie way! ;-)
