October to February generally provides the most comfortable weather for outdoor sightseeing. Summer afternoons can be extremely hot, while the monsoon may bring greener scenery along with slippery stone surfaces and changes to walking plans.

Can Hampi be visited during summer?

Yes, but sightseeing should start early and include adequate rest breaks during the hottest part of the day. Travellers should carry drinking water, sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat and lightweight clothing suitable for exposed outdoor conditions.

Can Hampi be visited during the monsoon?

Yes, but rain can make stone paths, hill steps, boulders and riverside routes slippery. Weather and water levels can also affect viewpoint visits, Sanapur activities and access-dependent places such as Navabrindavana.

Are sunrise and sunset experiences guaranteed?

No. Sunrise and sunset visibility depends on weather, cloud cover and seasonal conditions. Hill or viewpoint visits also depend on available time, daylight, walking ability and safe access.
