Laturलातूर
Skip Latur as a standalone destination: use it as a transit stop for the Kharosa Caves or Udgir Fort, or on a Marathwada road trip. Half a day is enough.
Latur is a mid-sized town in central Maharashtra, known for its agricultural market and two minor historical sites: the Kharosa Caves (12 rock-cut Jain and Hindu sculptures) and Udgir Fort. Most travellers pass through on the way to Aurangabad, Nanded or Paithan. The town itself has limited tourist infrastructure, so plan a short stop.
