Arrival at Hampi guesthouse

Hampi is a great backpacker town, and I recommend it to anyone. I could have easily stayed there for several more days to unwind. It reminds me a lot of Pompei in that you are completely surrounded by ancient ruins -- it's like a city beside a city.

We arrived at Sudha Guest House, which was by the river, pretty early in the moring. All of the guesthouses in Hampi are run by families, and it brings a nice touch of comfort.



Also, all of the guesthouses in Hampi have wonderful rooftop restaurants overlooking the rocks and ruins.



It's a nice way for travellers to connect, and the views are stunning:



While we were eating, we saw a monkey jumping around on the interesting rock formations across from us:
