[Madhan Rajasekkharan · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good description of the places in the Hampi Unesco area , but could be much better in terms of mentioning the unique experiences and places and connecting it to the history. More like a guide book.

[Hitesh · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book can be a guiding light while visiting the remains of Hampi. Well structured, and written crisply. For those who would like to plan a trip to the Great Vijayanagri, this book is a must to read and you may encounter the charms of historic visualizations while being on the epic city.

Helps you with planning your trip to Hampi. There is so much to cover in Hampi that it can easily overwhelm you. This book should make planning and preparing an itinerary easier.
