The entire site around Hampi stretches for kilometers. We started the day on the hill near the town of Hampi.

| The main path from the Ganesha temple to the top of the hill above Hampi. |
 |
| The panoramic view from the top of the hill. |
 |
| The monuments and temples around Hampi are made from the many granite boulders lying around the site. There are so many boulders, that no effort was made to use the stone efficiently. |
 |
| Clearly this stone fell upon a completed pavilion. The lines of holes in the stone are where the stonecutters started to split the stone into workable pieces. |
 |
| The main tower (gopuram) over the gate to the temple nearest the town of Hampi. You can see this tower in some of the photos above. |
 |
| This temple had an elephant on duty. |
 |
| It also had a lot of monkeys hanging around. Here a mother attends to her baby. |
