Hampi is an extraordinary landscape: piles of enormous boulders for hundreds of miles around, many teetering so precariously it seems like the slightest wind would dislodge them. It was formed by volcanos caused by shifting plates. It feels unlike anywhere else in India, and almost prehistoric. A sleepy river winds through the town. These are the ghats (steps leading down to the river): people bathe in it, sit by it, wash clothes in it and ferry people across it.
