Hampi
Photograph Hampi's incomparable visual landscape — crumbling Dravidian towers (gopurams) rising among rounded orange boulders, the mirror-like Tungabhadra River reflecting ruins, the intricate carvings of the Vittala Temple, Zenana Enclosure's Islamic-influenced Lotus Mahal, and the atmospheric pre-dawn mist over the ruins.

Pro tip from your tour advisor
The view from Matanga Hill at sunrise — looking east over a boulder-strewn plain of ruins in every direction — is one of India's most extraordinary dawn photographs.
