11 types of travelers you will meet in Hampi

The greatest world explorer, Ibn Batuta, once said,

Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.

This time when we went to Hampi, we spotted eleven such storytellers:

1. Hippies: While 60s was considered the heyday of hippiedom, you still find them in great numbers in Hampi. So if you spot them next time, sing along Strawberry Fields Forever by The Beatles with them.

2. Musicians: If you are someone who loves music, then Hampi is just the place for you. Go to the other side of the river, you will experience a cultural extravaganza of music, dance and song.
