Anjanadri (Anjaneyadri) Hill is located in Anegundi, just across the river Thungabhadra.
Anjanadri is the birth place of Hanuman, and houses a Hanuman temple at the top. The climb of 575+ steps is moderate.
The views of Hampi from Anjanadri are breath-taking: the grand Vittalaraya temple, Achutaraya temple, Matanga hill, Gopuras of Virupaksha temple… It’s just out of the world!
The views of surrounding valleys, hills, lakes, farm lands, Tungabhadra river and sun sets – simply mesmerizing!
