Join the Monks on Wheels as we take you on a 5D/4N tour to wander back in time as we explore the rich heritage history of Hampi & the ancient architectural style of Badami with a little adventure added to it.
Hampi – prepare to be captivated by its allure, an extraordinary village and temple town nestled in Karnataka, boasting a treasury of historical wonders. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Group of Monuments at Hampi transports you to a time when this city thrived and stood among the wealthiest in the world. Within the confines of Vijayanagara City, Hampi holds a profound appeal for tourists, attracting visitors from far and wide with its resplendent monuments and storied past. Unveiled as the most searched destination in Karnataka in 2014, Hampi beckons those with an insatiable appetite for history and architectural marvels. It’s no wonder that this remarkable place has earned global acclaim, drawing tourists from every corner of the globe to experience its unmatched charm.
Badami – prepare to embark on an intriguing journey, to a place steeped in legend and renowned for its enigmatic Cave Temples that have withstood the test of time since the 6th and 7th centuries. These mystical Cave Temples embody the exquisite architectural finesse of a bygone era. Badami holds the ancient secrets of the Chalukyas, once a powerful kingdom that left an indelible mark on history. While Pulakesin I laid the foundation in the 6th century, it was the awe-inspiring Chalukyas who orchestrated an architectural revolution. They adorned the landscape with countless temples and monuments, heralding the dawn of the resplendent Hindu architectural style. The epitome of architectural marvels is the Badami Cave Temples and the Groups of Monuments at Aihole & Pattadakal which are an awe-inspiring testament to the magnificent Chalukyan legacy. Hear the whispering tales of a forgotten era to those fortunate enough to behold their timeless beauty.
