Monkey Temple is believed to be the birth place of Sri Hanuman, A flight of granite steps takes you to the Monkey Temple which is a small concrete structure and the idol of Hanuman is carved from a granite rock. Near the main idol, a small shrine for Sri Rama and his consort Sita is found. Beware of the monkeys around; as the name suggests there are many monkeys here. From the top of the hill one gets to see Hampi and many of the heritage sites. The view of sun set and sun rise from here is spectacular.
