Here’s a 1‑Day Travel Itinerary for visiting Amravati along with a table of popular places in/around Amravati — with approximate visit‑time estimates and fee/entry info (as available).
Morning — Temples & City Sights
- Start your day with a visit to Shri Ambadevi Temple — the oldest and most prominent temple of Amravati. Great for culture, architecture and spiritual ambiance.
- Then head to Wadali Talao (or nearby water‑body/park) — good place for a relaxed stroll or some lakeside calm to ease into the day.
Midday — Local Leisure / Short Excursion
- If time permits and you prefer a bit of nature but don’t want long travel, you may visit Malkhed Dam (or another nearby water/Dam/relaxation spot) for a calm and peaceful outing.
- Otherwise, you can explore other city‑temples or local spots for quick sightseeing and lunch.
Afternoon — Light Sightseeing / Nature or History
- If you are okay with some travel and want a taste of forest/greenery, you could attempt a visit to Melghat Tiger Reserve — but note: given time constraints, you may get only a partial experience (short safari or forest walk), so consider this only if you’re okay with a rushed schedule.
- Alternatively, if you prefer staying in city limits: you could stroll around a local garden/park or regional landmark for relaxed sightseeing.
Evening — City Wind‑down / Local Life
- Return to city around evening. Wrap up with local shopping or sampling local food / street snacks — get a feel of city’s vibe and local lifestyle.
- Optionally, revisit a local lake/park for sunset or a calm evening walk to end the day peacefully.

My Recommendation for a 1‑Day Visit (If You Want Easy & Relaxed Trip)
- Focus mostly on temples + lakes/water‑body + local city sightseeing (Ambadevi Temple + Wadali Talao + maybe Malkhed Dam) — this allows minimal travel and a relaxed pace.
- Skip long-distance spots like Tiger Reserve (unless you start very early) — otherwise, you may spend more time travelling than enjoying the place.
- Use evening for local food or light local sightseeing to get a feel of Amravati city life.
