Ferry Point Hampi Address: River Rd, Hampi, Karnataka, 583239, India
Ferry Point, as the name suggests, is the place where you get boats to cross the Tungabhadra River in Hampi. With lush views, coracle rides, and a calming breeze, Hampi Ferry Point offers a refreshing break from temple hopping.
Located on the banks of the Tungabhadra River, this scenic spot connects the bustling Hampi Bazaar to Hippie Island, the other side of Hampi. While this Ferry Point is considered just a transport hub, a visit is an experience in itself. Whether you're hopping onto a coracle boat or just sitting by the water, there's something magical about the rhythm of this place.
Things to do at Ferry Point Hampi
1. Taking a coracle ride – While at Ferry Point, experience a view of Hampi from the water in a traditional round bamboo coracle. While most people use ferries and coracles to cross to the other side, you can also book a longer leisure ride to enjoy the river’s charm. These scenic rides on the red-hued Tungabhadra River let you float past ancient boulders, statues and mini-islands peeking out of the water.
2. Soaking in the views – Ferry Point is also a peaceful place to pause and relax. You can just sit by the riverside, feel the breeze, and watch the calm Tungabhadra River flowing. It’s especially magical at sunset when the golden light bathes the landscape. You might even catch the evening religious aarti performed on the riverbank nearby.
3. Crossing to Hippie Island – Hop on a river ferry for a quick 5-minute ride to the Anegundi village (also known as Hippie Island). This quieter part of Hampi is filled with paddy fields, hidden temples, and some of the best cafes in the region. You can even spend a night on the island, enjoying the slower, chilled-out lifestyle.
