STAY AT
Shivavilas Palace -
Sandur’s hidden Oasis
By Tejashri Simha, Explorer -in-Residence, Destination Knowledge Centre
An hour away from the mesmerizing ruins of Hampi is the dusty and busy town of Sandur which was once the stronghold of the Royal Ghorpade family and Shivavilas Palace their royal residence. The Shivavilas Palace, a little away from the town center of Sandur is 20 acres of calm and quiet. This beautiful timeless palace is almost like a museum and definitely a charismatic abode with a lot of character.
STORIES FROM THE ROAD
Lakkundi - History meets Rural India
By Tejashri Simha, Explorer-in-Residence, Destination Knowledge Centre
Located on a decent road between Hampi and Badami, a quick detour took me to the village of Lakkundi. Lakkundi is a typical Indian village which I think looks like an Indian Santorini with whitewashed homes and bright blue doors. Not many (even Indians) would have heard about this place, though at one point it was where gold coins were minted in the 10th and 11th centuries. Now, it is a rare collection of temple architecture built during the rule of Chalukya and Hoysala dynasties.
