Major city · India
Chandrapur
Spend 1–2 days: a half‑day for city sights and a full day for Tadoba National Park; skip if short on time.
Chandrapur sits in Vidarbha, Maharashtra, known for coal mines and nearby wildlife. The city itself offers a few temples and a garden, while Tadoba National Park (≈45 km south) provides the main nature experience. A day trip to the park plus a few hours in town fits a 2‑day itinerary.
