Mathanga Hill is the go to sunset and sunrise point of Hampi. So we went there twice in the five days we were jn Hampi.
The sunset was magnificent with a 360 degree view of Hampi and its ruins, and with the hills with rounded boulders in every corner. Climbing up and down is a bit adventurous as the pathway is through pile of large boulders.
