You may come across signposts sporting the name Kishkinda Heritage Resort -- it is anything but "heritage" and extremely full in high season with children, thanks to the amusement and water park attached to it. However, Kishkinda Trust (tel. 08533/26-7777; http://thekishkindatrust.org) does do some interesting work -- cross over to Anegundi on the other side of the river, where local people both show off their craftwork as well as how they make it -- it's a new initiative, but one well worth supporting. KSTDC's Hotel Mayura Bhuvaneshwari at Kamalapuram (tel. 08394/241-574; http://kstdc.net; A/C doubles Rs 1,800) is a much cheaper option (in every sense) to Hampi's Boulders (but useful in case it's full). They can also arrange a Hampi tour (Rs 175).
