This dirty, dusty temple town in the middle of nowhere (and likely the place that made us so sick that we spent our subsequent days in Hampi bedridden) was definitely worth it!






The “Green Police”

An amazing moment where a huge crowd engulfed us, taking our photos on their cell phones, asking our names, smiling and laughing in wonderment of the three foreign ladies.

Hidden in the hills behind the cave temples of Badami we found a real Indian treasure. Dilapidated and left for dead, these life-size statues depicting the evolution of humanity and Indian society where…amazing!

















I wasn’t able to find a shred of information about this massive display that is virtually invisible from the main temples, the mystery making it that much more enchanting.
