Matanga Hill, Hampi Overview
Situated just a kilometre from the main bus stand in Hampi, Matanga Hill is known to be the highest point of Hampi and therefore is one of the best places to see a bird's eye view of Hampi. This hill is described as the location of the hermitage of the Saint Matanga in the Ramayana, hence is appropriately named. The trek to the top of the hillock is a popular route amongst both locals and tourists alike.
