I went to India over last summer, and did some bouldering in Hampi, and also visited Badami, a few
hours away from Hampi. Hampi is granite, Badami is Quartzite (very similar to Araps rock). Hampi is a
lovely town, and you can get good food, Badami is a dive, bad food, and too many booze shops. If you
stay across the river in Hampi, at a place called Goan Corner, the woman who owns it, Sharmilla, will
lend you a bouldering mat for free. The bouldering is endless, and very nice. Sharp though, and it is very
hot.
Enjoy! |
