Day 1 in Amravati
Kick off your Amravati trip with its most iconic spots, from spiritual sites to lush gardens, and savor the city's famous street food.
Activities
Visit Ambadevi Temple
Start your day with blessings at Ambadevi Temple, the city's most revered shrine dedicated to Goddess Amba. The temple's intricate carvings and peaceful atmosphere make it a must-visit. Mornings are less crowded, perfect for soaking in the spiritual vibes.

- Try the prasad (offering) sold outside the temple
Stroll through Chhatri Talao Garden
A short auto ride away, this serene garden surrounds a historic lake with a charming chhatri (cenotaph) at its center. It's a great spot to relax under shady trees, watch locals feed ducks, or paddle a boat on the lake. The garden is especially lively in the evenings, but mornings offer a quieter experience.
- Carry water as it can get warm by late morning
- Look for the old British-era bridge nearby
Explore Wadali Talao & Melghat Tiger Reserve Interpretation Center
Head to Wadali Talao, a picturesque lake with a walking path, then visit the small but informative Melghat Tiger Reserve Center next to it. The center gives you a glimpse of Vidarbha's wildlife through dioramas and info panels—great if you can't visit the actual tiger reserve. The lake area is perfect for an evening stroll with street food vendors nearby.
- Try the bhutta (roasted corn) from lakeside vendors
- The center closes by 6 PM, so go there first

A relaxed day exploring lesser-known gems and local flavors in Amravati, with a mix of history, nature, and authentic food experiences.

Morning at Hanuman Vyayam Prasarak Mandal
Start your day with a visit to this historic sports complex, a unique institution promoting traditional Indian sports and physical culture.

Breakfast at Local Misal Joint
Head to a neighborhood misal stall for Amravati's take on this Maharashtrian classic. Unlike the Puneri version, here it's served with a thicker gravy and extra farsan (crispy toppings). Try it with soft pav (bread rolls) and a cup of cutting chai for the full experience.
- Ask for 'taak' (buttermilk) if the spice level is too high
- Morning is the best time as the misal is freshly prepared

- The musical fountain usually operates around 5:30 PM - check locally for timings
- Combine this with nearby Sai Baba Temple if you have extra time
