Yavatmalयवतमाल
Skip Yavatmal unless you have a specific reason to visit (agricultural town, narrow-gauge railway). A half-day stop is enough if you are passing through.
Yavatmal is a small agricultural city in the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra, known as the 'Cotton City'. It has limited tourist attractions — a couple of parks and a narrow-gauge railway line. Most travellers use it as a brief stop or skip it entirely in favour of nearby Nagpur or Chandrapur.
