Hemakuta Hill Temple

Easy to climb with an entry right beside Virupaksha Temple, Offers stunning sunset views and is dotted with ancient temples. Great for photography but tripods aren’t allowed as it’s a heritage site. A must visit in Hampi!

One of the most beautiful sunsets I have experienced. Cloudy yes, but the magic nature was putting in front of us was unbelievable.

Really one of the best sunsets in Hampi. As I missed my day 1 sunset due to clouds on anjanadri this made my trip complete on day 2 the sunset was really one of the best

One of the most beautiful places to watch the sunset and listen to the soothing music coming out of the Virupaksha Temple.

There are few temples on this hill.. It's a great place to see sunset in hampi with just 10 min walk from down.. Amazing view of Virupaksha temple and mountains from top.. Please ensure u don't litter plastic over there.

This place is perfect for catching a stunning sunset in Hampi. It's a peaceful spot where you can soak up history, spirituality, and nature all at once. You can even see the Virupaksha Temple from up here.

Hemkuta Hills is an absolute gem for nature lovers and history enthusiasts alike! The views from the top are breathtaking, with stunning rock formations and panoramic sights of Hampi's ancient temples and landscapes. It’s a relatively easy hike, and the scenery along the way is truly unique. Sunrise and sunset here are magical — definitely worth planning your visit around those times! The peaceful atmosphere and spiritual vibe make it a must-visit spot if you're in Hampi. A perfect blend of natural beauty and historical charm!"

It is a scenic place when ever you go. You have many small temples, arches and each of them gives different views and options to take a lot of pics and DP. You will see Shiv, Ganesh and Jain temples here. You can visit the hill for both sunset and sun rise. To reach this hill you have to pass a small structure through which only one car can pass. Whole hampi is very spiritual with a modern touch. It is situated near to Virupaksha temple and you can descend to reach Virupaksha temple also. In monsoon it can be slippery so take care of kids. However, anyone can visit. Older people can also go as there are steps and many places to sit and enjoy. Do carry water as it can get sweaty a lot no matter when you visit it. Avoid it in the afternoon. It was supposed to be built between 9-14 century by Vijayanagra Empire and is quite different than any other place.
