When touring Hampi, it's worth considering a short trip to the heritage sites of Badami, Pattadakal, and Aihole. Badami, formerly called as Vatapi, was ruled by the Chalukya empire between 400 to 800 AD, and it is loaded with temples, monuments, and ruins from that era. The notable Chalukya style of architecture dawned in Aihole, and this hamlet is packed with about 120 stone temples, which regrettably doesn't get the recognition it deserves. With magnificent caves and four sets of impressive ancient rock-cut temples, Badami is one of the top historical hotspots to see at once in your lifetime! Pattadakal is more modest compared to Badami, however with only one temple complex; it's stately!
