vijaya vitthala temple is one of the biggest temple runes.there are two ways to reach here you can reach here by walking from Chandramauleshwara Temple (along the river)or you can drive there via kamlapur which will be around 6 to 7 kms and fees for tuktuk(don't know the exact name but looks like big golf cart) as you need to walk for 1.5 to 2 km from main centre. so will suggest you to walk there by exploring some untouched route.inside you will find world famous stone chariot and musical pillars and some trees 4 to 5 hundred years old. if you take guide here he will play those musical pillars it has some of the great carvings on the pillars illustrate story regarding ramayana,must visit this place and spend enough time here it is worth it.

Main attraction is stone chariot. You can see Ramayana depicted in the form of stone carvings in this temple. Another attraction is musical pillers. But public is not being allowed to touch the musical pillers to preserve the same to generations. You will need to park your car at around 1 km away. You can either go by walk or use the battery car to go near this ancient temple complex. A must visit place in Hampi.

The complex houses the world-famous Vijaya Vithala Gudi and many more attractions. I would suggest engaging a government authorized guides so that you get to know all the details of this wonderful temple. The temple houses the famous chariot (which you can see printed on the Rs. 50/- Indian Rupees currency) which is the center piece of attraction for all tourists. With the guide you can understand clearly all the intricacies of this beautiful architecture and how the artisans have chiseled some fantastic designs and also with so much of thought for various purpose. Some examples are the 50 odd pillars in the main complex which when tapped in the right way can emit exact sound of that instrument that has been carved at the bottom of the pillars!! Similarly, one can see the intricate bangle designs chiseled on stones or for that 100+ years old champak tree which looks very attractive. To get to the complex, one needs to walk about 1km+ or take a electric cars that run at good frequency. Ticket is Rs 20/- From Vitthala temple, you can walk further back side to other temples like Kothandarama temple, Varaha Temple, Matanga Hill for Sunrise/Sunset views or for a coracle ride on the Tungabadra river. There is a old path with indications to even Virupaksha temple from Vithala temple complex.

Vijaya Vittala Temple has one of the finest architecture and a must visit in Hampi. The famous stone Chariot featured on 50 rupee note is inside the temple complex. The temple comlex has multiple structures. The temple has musical pillars. I would recommend hiring a guide for this place as it has vast and great history.
Charges - 40 rs for entry fee which can be used for Queen's Enclosure and Archaeological Museum. To reach the main complex, you will either have to walk or take battery vehicle which costs 10 rupees.

Each one of these pillars, give you a different musical note, of all the musical instruments, as per the guide. We could'nt check, since it has been warded off . Nobody can touch, only see. Some co -travelers have damaged the pillars.

It’s THE monument to visit when in Hampi. This place has so much history behind it. Should definitely take a guide with you or take the services of one of the temple guides. They charge 500 for an hour of the tour. Since the main 56 musical pillars are not accessible, guide can show you the pillar music magic in another Mantapa.
The car parking is ~1 km away from main temple because the structure started sustaining damage due to vehicle vibrations. You can pay 10 rupees one way and climb a battery operated cart. Or walk along the unpaved (but even) road and also enjoy the 3 small monuments along the way.
We walked while going and enjoyed the tow mantapas and a pushkarni (water body). While coming back we chose to take the battery cart/buggy as it was quite sunny
There is hardly any signal there so buying tickets via phone isn’t possible. Definitely carry cash for purchasing tickets (near the temple entrance)
The washrooms and near the car parking and they are pay per use.

Everything that I read and saw in the massive George Mitchell tome on Hampi was true. My partner and I especially loved this temple because of its intricate architecture and carvings. You sit there in awe and imagine how, so many hundred years ago the artisans actually made this happen, before modern technology that we take so much for granted.

Brilliant, marvellous ... If you leave Hampi. without seeing this , you have not really visited Hampi.
Approach road is good , ample parking space . Post parking lot , they take you on a battery operated car (like in airports) for a Rs 20 fee.
The place has rich historical significance and you must take a guide (for a 100 / 200 rupees) to talk you through the interesting stories behind the structures .

Hampi is worth to visit. There are many interesting places temples or monuments are awesome. I met the good driver in front of the hotel. He offered the plan to travel for 2 days and with reasonable price his service is impressed.I would recommend his name is Srikanth. For more information you can call him by phone 948-3072583 or visit his Facebook Hampi Srikanth

Spectacular and awe would probably be appropriate here to feel when you visit this magnificent place. Once you have parked your vehicle at the parking lot, a buggy would be available to take you to the site. A stretch of mud road with small hillocks and vegetation on either side and ruins of shopping complexes later, you would arrive at the beautiful Vitthala Temple. I was stupefied by the gorgeous Gopura itself. The very epitome of Vijayanagara architectural splendor can be witnessed when you slowly browse the venue and take in all the opulence. And then, there is of course the stone chariot. It is recommended to visit the site around post afternoon to escape the heat and get a guide as it is helpful. Please carry a water bottle and DO NOT litter.
