Tungabhadra River & Coracle Ride

The Tungabhadra River at Hampi is the lifeblood of the ancient Vijayanagara landscape — a sacred river flowing through a dramatic gorge of enormous granite boulders where traditional coracle (circular basket boat) rides are one of Hampi's most iconic experiences. Sunset from Virupaksha Ghat is deeply atmospheric. Coracle rides widely available near Virupaksha Temple. A top Hampi sightseeing and photography experience. Most atmospheric at dawn when mist rises from the water between the boulders.
