Hampi Day 1

I recently (26th-28th June 2026) went on a three day climbing trip to Hampi. It wasn't enough for climbing, but definitely enough for healing my soul through and through. This is my day to day log of a small set of things that happened. On our first day, we arrived sleep deprived in Hospete and took an auto to Hanumanhalli. Our abode was Mani's homestay (theres no maps link for it 🫠). It is a minimal 1980s style house with owning family living in a small part of the house, leaving four rooms open for lodging. We were all dead tired from floating in air most of the night in the bus. To top it off, it was already sunny enough outside. With all this, we decided to explore and take rest in the day, and climb in evening and night. 🌝 After some delicious doses and paddus [1] for breakfast, we took onto exploring the trail of getting upto foothills of Rushyamukha hill. Apparently, this is the place where Ram and Sugriva agreed to be allies against Ravana!! Check out Ramayana for more…
