In the beginning of April 2019 I spent two days birding in Hampi. My partner Simirna and I were guided by Pompayya Malemath who is extremely knowledgable on the birds and bears in that area. Pompayya also organized our stay and his wife cooked us finger licking, mouth watering, delicious vegetarian dishes three times a day. Our stomachs were splitting by the end of the second day!
