Hampi - 6 - Last Day

Anjaney Parvat, Kishkindha - A Birthplace of Lord Hanuman is around 25km from Hampi. It takes around 575 steps to climb to the temple which is at the top of Anjaney Parvat. The temple is pretty small and nothing much to offer. But when its a birthplace of our favourite Bajarangi, then its just not possible to not to visit it. There was a positive vibe around the place and we were so happy to be there, to place, where the most important characteristic of Ramayana was born

We started early to avoid any crowd and sun. The road towards is a pleasure to drive. It was foggy in the morning, lush green paddy fields on one side with lots of coconut trees and on another side, now most common sight of boulders.

It took us around 35mins to climb those steps. View from the top is fascinating though.

Sanapur Lake -

We then headed to Sanapur Lake. It could be heavenly awesome in evening when the usual colourful sky of Hampi is at its best. The coracle ride spot was there and we were glad that we took the ride from Hampi side. From this side, it's a plain vast lake, nothing much interesting.

Walk Around the City -

We returned to the city, had our lunch and took a stroll around the city to see few places nearby which we haven’t seen. The market is okiesh and nothing much to shop than the usual. Rates are not also cheaper. The usual oxidised jewellery for e.g. you could get in half the rate on F.C. road than buying in Hampi.

Buying the magnets for the fridge is a good idea though, and recently i have started doing that. Collecting the magnets from the places we visit.

After 2 days finally the sun was out and the temperature started rising. First time also we saw tourist around that we can call it a crowdy. Exhausted, we returned to our A/C rooms and preferred to relax as the day after was again a long drive day.

Evening it started raining again that quickly dropped the temperature down. We ordered a heap of pakoras and gallon of tea. The usual bunch of monkeys were dancing in the verandha and as by now we were familiar faces to them, they even though to enter our room to take their share of pakora.

In the next, the last post, I will put all the necessary details, budgets, references etc if you wish to travel to Hampi.

I would recommend you should!
