Sugriva’s Cave

A mythologically significant cave believed to be the hideout of Sugriva from the Ramayana epic, where Lord Rama met him.

Sugriva’s Cave is a modest yet revered spot tied to the Ramayana legends. Locals believe this is where Sugriva, the monkey king, sought refuge after being ousted by his brother Vali and where he met Lord Rama and Lakshmana. The cave’s interiors contain carvings resembling footprints, said to be of Lord Rama and Lakshmana. Beyond its mythological connection, the spot offers beautiful views of the Tungabhadra River and the boulder-strewn Hampi landscape, making it a peaceful stop for pilgrims and travelers interested in mythology, spirituality, or local folklore.
