Important Note: Hampi is a place to explore on feet. We do arrange a private AC vehicle for maximum comfort and time saving, however after getting off the vehicle a traveller is expected to walk at least 2-3 hours daily to visit all places. Hence the sightseeing places we cover during the tour depend on speed and composition of the group. Anjanandri hills exploration is a great experience but it requires ascending 350 stairs, a walking stick might be helpful while ascending it. Visits, activities and their order are subject to change for an offbeat tour based on the discretion of Mumbai Travellers.
