Nagpur (Marathi: नागपूर Nāgpūr), a major city in the Indian state of Maharashtra, is famous for its Nagpur oranges and also widely considered to be the city at the center of India. Nagpur is also the state's winter capital, as the winter session of the Maharashtra Legislature is held here, along with some administrative functions.
The best way to get around are the yellow and black 3-wheeled autorickshaws, commonly called autos. Hollering 'auto' at a passing one should be enough to catch the driver's attention. In most cases the drivers would be able to understand Hindi and maybe even a few words of English. They are normally quite helpful but some are known to cheat tourists so bargain hard and it might be a good idea to ask a pedestrian to get an idea about how much it costs normally to reach your destination by auto. Ride-hailing apps like Ola and Uber can be used to quickly and efficiently travel around the city. These are accessible from and to almost any part of the city.
