Bramhapuri
Skip Bramhapuri unless you need a stopover between Nagpur and Chandrapur or have business at the district hospital. Half a day covers the town.
Bramhapuri is a market and education town in Chandrapur district, eastern Maharashtra. It has a railway station, a few hotels and basic eateries, but no tourist sights that justify a detour. Use it as a lunch or fuel stop on NH 353D between Nagpur (2 h) and Chandrapur (45 min), or to visit Tadoba National Park from the south.
