Tungabhadra Ghats

It’s not a specific place actually. The whole river has ghats around it at multiples places. Some are easily accessible and some are such that you have to go through banana fields and find your way (better seek someone’s help).
The places around river are nice and clean except the ones frequented by tourists and locals so you have to find a spot.

The Tungabhadra River is a river in India that starts and flows through the state of Karnataka during most of its course, Andhra Pradesh and ultimately joining the Krishna River near Murvakonda in Andhra

* Here The Holy Tungabhadra river flows as a small canal.
* Holy baths can be taken here.
* Nandi statue and Tungabhadra Harathi place are few highlights here.
* Having Cane juice/ coconut water and spending some time watching river is awesome and must try.

Tungabhadra Ghats are located behind the Virupaksha temple in Hampi, Karnataka, India. They are a favourite place for many tourists and locals alike. This place is flocked by hippies (mostly foreigners) who stay for months at a time.

Visit early morning to feel the bliss, to take a deep. If possible attend elephant washing between 9-10 am.

It's a nice area to unwind and go boating, but you should avoid going there during the rainy season because the increasing water level makes it illegal to visit the neighbouring river.

It’s a bit dirty and people take bath as well as the elephant bath between 10-12. It’s written that the river has crocodiles and have whirlpools in it so don’t bath. But many people do so yeah don’t go away from main ghat for a swim and be safe

This ghats have some magical forces, which always attracts everyone in the evenings and mornings,
Not so clean, but the ambience was powerful and beautiful

These are on the banks of the Tungabhadra adjacent to the Virupaksha Temple in Hampi
Many devotees take a dip in the waters of the river at these ghats before visiting the famous Virupaksha Temple.
The ghats are well constructed and well maintained. The Tungabhadra Pushkaralu were organised at these ghats in 2020
There is a sign to beware of crocodiles.

We were at hampi October first week and the preceding monsoon had left tungabhadra in full flow with the ghats presenting an awesome sight and bathing opportunities. Located close to the virupaksha temple ideal place to have a bath before the temple visit. Not many safety features there so better be ware and stay safe.

It's a good place to relax and boat riding but you must ensure not to visit in monsoon as they are not allow to visit nearby river due to increased in water level.

The place is very serene to visit after a day's trip. Other side of Tungabhadra River is Hippie Island. The ferry costs minimal for crossing and catch Elephant Laxmi taking a bath early morning. Its really amazing to see How Laxmi manages to walk on the ghats with her foot. Visit once and go back again and again to see the same magic.

Nice Ghat, we reached there by evening during sunset time, it was quit place with not huge crowd. If u want to spend some alone time with nature it is one of the easiest reachable place

This is where many Indians bathe in here every morning and pray for their families. I can go to the early morning and see various images.

이곳은 많은 인도인들이 아침마다 이곳에서 목욕도 하고, 가족들을 위해서 기도하는 곳이다. 아침일찍 가서 다양한 모습들을 볼수 있다.

Beautiful temples on one side, thick green forest and boulders on one side. The calm serene Waters of tungabhadra running in between them. What else would one need in life except for enjoying this beautiful place.if you ask me to stay here for whole lifetime, I would definitely stay because it's that peaceful in here.

Wonderful location we stayed in island mogli resort and villas to catch a small boat from island to virupaksha Temple

On the first day at Hampi, we decided to explore the monuments and places to see on the road connecting Hampi to Kamalapuram Museum. The greenery and the pleasant winds added to the joy of cycling as we set out. There are a lot of places to see here, details of which you can easily find from the internet. I will just concentrate on some of my favorites.

The Tungabhadra River is a river in India that starts and flows through the state of Karnataka during most of its course, before flowing along the border between Karnataka, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh and ultimately joining the Krishna River near Alampur village in Mehaboobnagar District of Telangana.

1) Coracel ride is a must - half an hour is good enough
2) Cross the river to the north side via boat/coracel
3) Visit the ghats at night when noone is present!

The place is very congested, though offer an amazing view. Lot of stalls selling coconut water, junk jewelry, snacks etc.seating arrangement is there. You can spend time here as the ghat is very busy. Boat runs from sunrise to sunset to cross the river.

The view might be OK on the other side, but the amount of human and animal trash everywhere makes it a really unpleasant trip. If you really want to, go down there, take a pic and head back your way. Boat nearby crosses the river but has an exaggerated price for the crossing (50 irn)

Hampi is an amazing ancient sightseeing place, a must for everyone who is traveling through the region. On the bank of the Tungabhadra River, there are many temples such as the Kumaraswamy Temple, the Yantrodharaka Hanuman Temple, Vidyaranya Temple, the Lord Shiva temple, Durgadevi Temple and it also has the Kottureshwara Swamy matta. Recently one of my friends from the United States visited my place at Hubli, and I took him to Hampi. He enjoyed seeing the place. I have posted some photos of his visit. There is also boating facility available in the river.

Ungabhadra river is passing in between hampi and hippy hampi.there are two options to cross the river to reach the other side one is motor boat and the other is coracle boat.
My suggestion is to go by motor boat which costs 20rs per head instead of spending 120 for coracle ride
Tungabhadra Ghat near Virupaksha Temple, the scenary is amazing when water is flowing. There are many attractions scattered along the banks of this river and a trek route from Hampi Bazaar - Chakrateetha - Purandaradasa Mantap - Vitthal Temple gives splendid views.
