We got an early start to minimize exposure to the heat over the 120k ride.
The terrain was initially quite dry flat country, with patchy agriculture. Saw a mix of mechanized tools and beasts of burden. I stopped to photograph oxen ploughing in a field, and pulling a roller in a winnowing operation elsewhere.
The ride offered the typical mix of rough and quiet rural roads and bustling towns with chaotic traffic!
As we approached Hampi, we were in a high plateau surrounded by hills of huge boulders, and an oasis - like abundance of water, and lots of rice paddies among the palm trees.
Our hotel is in a rural setting across the river from Hampi, looking out over rice paddies.
Very relaxing.
