Great place to visit and see the rich culture and heritage of the country through the Vijayanagara period. The dominance of Ramayana and its importance in this connect be underestimated. A qualified and registered guide from the Tourism department is a must to understand the intricacies of the place.

Une journée de visite agréable et très instructive avec Raghava comme guide .
Très sympathique et donnant de très nombreuses et intéressantes explications.
de plus Il nous a emmené dans un excellent restaurant à midi .
Le tarif peut paraître élevé mais je pense qu'avec un autre guide on n'aurait pas découvert autant de choses.
