Lapakshi - Feb 2008

I'll probably remember this trip for 2 reasons. Firstly I did not have a clue as to where Lepakshi was and ended up going half the way to Kolar before realizing that I was in a totally different direction and ended up biking an extra 2 hours before getting there. Secondly, when I found out that there were no places to have food. I had to make do with a packet of Good Day. The architecture at Lepakshi is outstanding and remains one of the few places where once can marvel at architecture from the Viajayanagra empire. Lepakshi is a small village located in the Anantapur District, in Andhra Pradesh, India. It is 15 km east of Hindupur and about 120 km north of Bangalore.
