Yadgir
Spend a half‑day in Yadgir to see the hill fort and Sanna Kere tank; otherwise skip if you need more time elsewhere.
Yadgir is a small town in Karnataka with a hill‑top fort, ancient temples and a central tank. The sights are clustered on the hill, so a half‑day visit covers the main attractions. Overnight stays are possible in modest guesthouses, but most travellers use Yadgir as a brief stop on a road‑rail itinerary through northern Karnataka.
