The sunset views over the Tungabhadra River are simply breathtaking. Plus, it's way less crowded than the Taj Mahal! Hampi is for the travellers to enjoy art and culture.
Embrace experiential travel beyond landmarks; connect with locals
Now, shift your focus to experiential travel. Forget just ticking off landmarks. Start embracing activities! Think learning a local craft from artisans in Rajasthan, taking a cooking class in Kerala, or volunteering at a tea plantation in Assam. These are all interesting things to do.
Immerse yourself in the local culture. It’s a far more meaningful and memorable way to travel. Connect with real people. Share their stories. Return home with memories that will last much longer than a photo.

Explore Andaman: Diving, snorkelling, kayaking in paradise
