Here's one i've found.

I presume there's better, and I'm pretty sure you can buy a guide out there.

That Pils dude is a complete nutter! AFAIK there is currently no guidebook for Hampi...the Laughing Buddha cafe on Hampi Island has topos, pretty easy to go through and photograph with a digital camera, plus the food's pretty good  :)  Of course this doesn't really help with pre-trip research!!

From an old Hampi thread:

There used to be a guide book held at the bookshop but the owner has removed it with a plan to update it and maybe produce a guide to sell. ..... ...To be honest tho, there is that much rock youre probably just as well going off and exploring. Lastly bring a good pad - some of the problems get quite high and its a hard landing!

Hampi guidebook is finally finished and available from Delhi based climber Rohit Chauhan. Retailing around £15 + postage from India. Some copies are making their way to UK and Europe over the next few months but not sure where they will be sold yet.
Contact Rohit at : rohit.climber@gmail.com if anyone is interested in procuring the first ever real guide for Hampi.
