Swagatam, Yokoso, and Welcome. . . !!!! Namaskaram, I am Balaji, a Project Management Guru who renounced his 17 years of professional career for the love of Indian History, Architecture and the compounding knowledge and positive impact of these two. I proudly call myself as a "Time Traveler" because I take people back and forth into time and make them the most impactful experience of the past time. First of all, thank you very much for your time as you decided to stop by and read my profile. Truly appreciate it. It's been an exhaustive journey of about 20 years for me to be here and confidently tell you that I have experienced it and I can pass the same experience to you. I have experienced the stones whispering, witnessed the forgotten kingdoms, been in the shadows of great rulers, walked on the royal paths, read the great battle stories, researched the places that almost disappeared and finally I even discovered some new trails. My tours will not be for you just to see, instead, I ensure that you would experience it personally so that everything you see gets engraved in your heart and mind. I promise that, you would go back with memories that would last a lifetime. An expert storyteller, that I am, I can connect Indian History to Itihasa (Mythology) to give you the best of all. I am a Pan-India certified guide along with specialization in Interpreting Indian Architecture & Iconography. In addition to our 5-Star tour experience, I give extreme importance to Safety, Comfort, Punctuality and Service excellence. Uncompromising moments of truth at every step is my delivery commitment. My association with a Japanese travel company in India has taught me how to be impeccable in planning and delivering excellence even in the volatile and inconsistent Indian environment. My support teams and vendors are handpicked post thorough evaluation on both personal and professional front. I guess I said a lot already, and I feel it's time for the real action and let you read my tours and service offering so that we can take things a little further. Once again, I truly appreciate you investing your time on me and reading through this. !!!

Science says rocks and boulders are inanimate. I believed so, till I heard the rocks in Hampi whisper endless tales. It is my word that I would pass the same experience to you where, you start dreaming with your eyes wide open and be lost in the grandeur and magnificence of Hampi. In 'Indiana Jones" style, we would explore Hampi for its Architectural, Historical and Cultural monuments and preserve them in our cameras & memories. Hampi, being a UNESCO World Heritage Site has quite a lot to offer. This tour will be slightly fast paced as we would be attempting to cover quite a lot just in a day. This tour will involve minimal walking/hiking and is ideal for individuals with time constraints and are not so "explorers" by nature. We would be starting our tours in Hampi slightly early as it gets very hot by midday. We would do this tour in two parts. The first part will be from 07:30 - 11:30 Hrs and the second part from 15:00 - 19:00 Hrs. This tour is 100% customizable based on your interests and choices.
07:30 - Pick up from hotel and introductions 07:45 - Begin the First part of this tour and proceed to Temple Enclosure Statues of Lord Ganesha - Elephant god marking the beginning of our tour Virupaksha Temple and walk on the old business street Achyuta Raya Temple and the sacred tank Krishna Temple and understand the temple architecture Statue of Lord Narasimha - Lion god Massive Idol of Lord Shiva - Supreme god in Hindu religion 11:30 - End of the first part and proceed for lunch 12:30 - Return to hotel and rest 15:00 - Begin the Second part of this tour and proceed to Royal Enclosure Underground Shiva Temple King's Audience hall & Secret chamber Royal Platform Elephant Stables Sacred Tank Hazara Rama Temple Queen's Enclosure Queen's Bath Vijaya Vittala Temple - Houses the world-famous musical pillars. 18:30 Return to Hotel 19:00 Conclude the tour, Thanksgiving, and bid adieus.

Most of this tour will be done in a 4-wheeler except at stretches where we need to walk. We would be utilizing an air conditioned chauffeur driven car for this purpose. It would be relatively new (<5 years) with no accidents in past. We would be having an expert driver with clean service history and positive attitude through out this tour.
