Explore Hampi

We believe that travel experiences can be transformational. It can breaks preconceived notions we have, teach us values like empathy, allow us to appreciate uniqueness of cultures and often push us out of our comfort zones, creating opportunities for personal growth. We wanted to create a community based tourism venture that would curate these kinds of travel experiences. So in 2013 we founded Explore Hampi, with a vision to serve not just the visitors coming to Hampi but also the local communities who are important stakeholders in its development. We started off by curating well researched tours focussed on the History, Architecture & Cultural Heritage of Hampi. Since then every year we have introduced new tours focussing on different aspect of Hampi as a destination such as Mythological Connections of Hampi, Wildlife & Birding, Prehistory of Hampi. In 2016 we introduced our first 4 day educational experience – The Young Archaeologist Program. This was designed to sow seeds of curiosity and a sense of wonder for the past, amongst the young participants. All of our educational experiences are curated to achieve specific learning outcomes and are designed to supplement the academic curriculum. Since the very first day of our operation, we have strived to create travel experiences that have meaningful impact. As we make strides into the future this will continue to shape everything we do.
