Around Hampi
Anegundi
Across the Tungabhadra, about 5km northeast of Hampi Bazaar, sits Anegundi, an ancient
fortified village that's part of the Hampi World Heritage Site but predates Hampi by way
of human habitation. Gifted with a landscape similar to Hampi, quainter Anegundi has
been spared the blight of commercialisation, and thus continues to preserve the local at-
mosphere minus the touristy vibe.
