Anjanadri Hill (Anjaneya Hill)

Anjanadri Hill, rising amid the mythic terrain of Kishkindha, is venerated as the birthplace of Lord Hanuman and attracts both pilgrims and travelers seeking spiritual solace and scenic beauty. The hilltop temple dedicated to Anjaneya (Hanuman) can be reached by climbing around 575 steps, each revealing breathtaking views of Hampi’s surreal boulder landscape and the lush paddy fields below. The atmosphere atop the hill is serene, often filled with the sound of temple bells and chants, making it a meditative experience.

The site is deeply rooted in the Ramayana legend—believed to be the place where Hanuman first met Lord Rama. Sunset from the summit is spectacular, offering a 360° view of the UNESCO-listed Hampi ruins, the Tungabhadra River, and the surrounding hills like Rishimukha Parvat.
