We wrote notes about our days there like we usually do for our blog, but by the time it came to publish this text, everything has changed. Hampi, as we know it, doesn\u2019t exist anymore. At the beginning of\u00a0March 2020 the\u00a0authorities bulldozed down the whole part of the area known as \u201cHampi Island\u201d. The guesthouses, restaurants and other businesses there are now demolished completely. It is sad for all of us travelers who have fallen in love with that extraordinary place, but the saddest it is for the people who lived there. Along with their businesses they lost everything. Everything they have built with their own hands, their source of income, their homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140317-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Hampi\" class=\"wp-image-3106\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140317-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140317-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140317-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140317.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Hampi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140475-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Seri with some local school boys at one of the temples\" class=\"wp-image-3114\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140475-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140475-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140475-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140475.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Seri with some local school boys at one of the temples<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140461-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"The kids at the temples were really interested to talk to us\" class=\"wp-image-3113\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140461-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140461-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140461-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140461.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The kids at the temples were really curious about us<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What hampi was for us?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hampi, in Indias state of Karnataka, is a village dotted with ancient temples and ruins. The nature surrounding the village is almost like from another planet. Along with palm trees and vast, green rice paddies, there are large rock plateaus with almost gravity-defying rock formations with huge boulders standing over each other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140162-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"View from the Hampi Island to the temple side\" class=\"wp-image-3100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140162-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140162-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140162-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140162.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>View from the Hampi Island to the temple side<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140147-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Besides tourism, local people\u2019s income is based on agriculture (eg. rice)\" class=\"wp-image-3099\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140147-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140147-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140147-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140147.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Besides tourism, local people\u2019s income is based on agriculture (eg. rice)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of the boulders the place is considered a mecca for climbers. This, among other things, is what has brought Seri many times back to Hampi. For Johanna, who is not a climber, this was also already third time there. Because the place was not only about climbing or about the impressive ruins.\u00a0Virupapura Gaddi\u00a0on the other side of the river from the temples, also known as the Hampi Island, was a laid-back backpacker bubble with breathtakingly beautiful surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140367-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"They look cute but they are very sneaky\" class=\"wp-image-3108\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140367-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140367-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140367-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>They look cute but they are very sneaky<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Like the times before, also this time we stayed in Goan corner. When talking about Goan Corner, it breaks our heart that we must use the past tense. It WAS a place that almost felt like home, but it neither exists anymore. It was a place where many stayed for a long time, even much longer than we did. Many of them were climbers so it was easy to find company to go to boulder with or to spend time together in the evenings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140423-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Sometimes the walks to more remote climbing spots took a while\" class=\"wp-image-3111\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140423-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140423-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140423-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140423.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Sometimes the walks to more remote climbing spots took a while<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140716-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"You could always find someone to spot you\" class=\"wp-image-3123\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140716-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140716-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140716-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140716.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>You could always find someone to spot you<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve always met nice people there and made new friends.

She was lucky to find a great and very motivating teacher, Manti, who held his yoga classes in a big \u201ctent\u201d in the forest. In between we relaxed in the hammock or spent some time with the others at the restaurant. Johanna also got some work done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\"

Not many were talking about the topic while we were there and there\u2019s also a lot of misinformation and rumors going around. Therefore building up a picture of what exactly is going on has been difficult. There are many questions about this topic that will probably never be answered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The UNESCO World Heritage site Hampi started to become a popular destination on the backpacker trail in India in the 90\u2019s. Besides the uniqueness of the place that was attracting people, it was also well accessible from popular locations like Goa. Lot of Infrastructure like hotels, restaurants and shops were built. Furthermore, Hampi became a world-famous bouldering location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140163-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"A few of the countless ancient temples in Hampi\" class=\"wp-image-3101\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140163-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140163-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140163-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>A few of the countless ancient temples in Hampi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After UNESCO classified the Hampi World Heritage site as being in danger because the growing tourism, the Area Management Authority directed the local authorities not to renew any licenses or give new permissions for commercial activities. There would have been an Integrated Management Plan by an Indian heritage conservation expert, aiming more gently to turn the development to a more sustainable direction. The Area Management Authority, however, decided to set up an own plan that was seeing development only as a threat. Furthermore, there have been for many years\u2019 rumors about plans of building luxury resorts in that area that would, of course, profit from demolishing most of the existing infrastructure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2011, Hampi Bazaar, the place closest to the temples, was demolished, along with the homes of local people. Many guesthouse owners of Hampi Island had already appealed to court to protect their properties from the same faith. In the meanwhile, in 2016, also the old village of Virupapura Gaddi was demolished. On February 11th, 2020, the case was lost at the supreme court and followed by the complete demolition of Virupapura Gaddi, the Hampi Island.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image postimage\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140706-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"To get to Hampi Island one has to cross the river from the temple side\" class=\"wp-image-3122\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140706-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140706-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140706-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodridestories.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/P1140706.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>To get to Hampi Island one has to cross the river from the temple side<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For us this doesn\u2019t make completely sense, as there are no ancient temples in the proximity of Hampi Island. And even if there were, what is more important, to preserve old monuments or the lives and culture of the people that live there now?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s more info about the
