Chamorshi
Half a day: see the Markanda Temple Complex and the Chichdoh Barrage, then move on. Not a base.
Chamorshi is a small town in Vidarbha, Maharashtra, known for the Markanda Temple Complex, a group of ancient temples protected by the Archaeological Survey of India. The Chichdoh Barrage on the Wainganga River is a short ride away. The town itself has limited accommodation and dining options, and the entire district is dry. Most travellers visit as a half-day stop between Nagpur (180 km) and Chandrapur (70 km).
