Day 2

2) Coracle Ride : Taking a coracle ride is one of the must do things when in Hampi. Coracles have been used from the times of Vijayanagara Empire to ferry people across the river.  The coracle is quite strong and stable so no need to worry. All you need to do is to arrange yourselves in such a way so that the weight gets equally distributed and you are good to go. It's good if you have life jackets. The ride will cost you around 250 bucks per person for half an hour.
