“Many worlds of Hampi” is a 3-day photography tour designed to cover a wide range of interesting subjects that goes beyond the architectural splendours of Hampi. We have explored all the corners of Hampi to bring you the best in
- Landscapes – the river, boulders and hills of Hampi. Perhaps few places can boast of dramatic sunsets and sunrises as Hampi can. A crimson sun rising and setting over the boulders and hills of Hampi overlooking Tungabhadra River is perhaps among the most beautiful, but less photographed spectacles in this magical landscape.
- Wildlife – birds and bears of Daroji. Daroji Bear Sanctuary is a refuge for more than a hundred bears living in a small area, offering a high probability of sightings and photography opportunities. The rocky terrain is also home to rare birds like the Yellow-throated Bulbul, Painted Sandgrouse and Red Avadavat. May be an encounter with Star Tortoises too…
- Architecture – the famed ruins of Vijayanagar Empire. Hampi’s architectural heritage and its temples in various stages of ruination have brought this small village to UNESCO world heritage status. A large number of monuments more than four hundred years old are strewn all across the plains of Hampi, inviting photographers to lose themselves in the ruins.
The tour calendar includes
- Visit to sites that offer excellent photography opportunities
- Expert session on landscape and travel photography
