Coracle Ride
Hampi
Cross the Tungabhadra River in a coracle — a circular traditional wicker-and-pitch boat piloted with a single oar — between the temple side and Hippie Island (Virupapur Gaddi). The crossing offers views of riverside ruins, boulders, banana plantations, and the Hanuman Temple perched on a rocky outcrop.

Pro tip from your tour advisor
The coracle crosses are currently the most atmospheric way to get to the northern side (Anegundi — the older Kishkinda kingdom site). Early morning crossings have a magical mist-on-river quality.
