Badami, formerly known as Vatapi, is located 150km North West of Hampi. It was the regal capital of the Badami Chalukyas from 540 to 757 AD. It is famous for its rock cut structural temples. It is located in a ravine at the foot of a rugged, red sandstone outcrop that surrounds Agastya lake. And is home to some of the best sport climbing in India. With routes ranging from 5b to 8b+, there is something in Badami for every rock climber, amateur to pro. This is great location for free sport climbing and bouldering.
