Just 13 km (8 miles) from the ruins of Hampi, the small town of Hospet serves as the main gateway to the ancient Vijayanagar Empire. While many travelers pass through quickly, the town offers a chance to see everyday life in this part of Karnataka.
A Modest Base for Exploring Hampi
Hospet itself may seem unremarkable at first glance, but its authenticity and lack of tourist polish make it a rewarding place to explore on foot. The bustling markets, simple eateries, and local rhythm provide an interesting contrast to the monumental ruins of nearby Hampi.
