Spend one full day in Wardha to see Gandhi sites and local temples; add a half‑day if you want a nearby day‑trip to Sevagram.

Wardha is a small city of about 126 000 (2011) in Vidarbha, known for its cotton trade and Gandhi heritage. The main sights are close together, so a single day covers the key attractions; a second half‑day lets you visit the nearby Sevagram Ashram.

Rules in force · 6
  • South Asia ↗Trekking regions, border districts and several Indian states need separate permits on top of the visa; check the permit before you book transport into them.
  • South Asia ↗Remove shoes (and in many Jain and Hindu temples, leather) before entering; cover shoulders and legs; ask before photographing people or rituals.
  • India ↗Apply for the e-visa only on the official government portal (indianvisaonline.gov.in); lookalike sites charge extra. Check the current rules, fees and how far ahead to apply.
  • India ↗Do not follow anyone who says your hotel is closed, the station ticket office is closed or a road is shut; use the prepaid taxi counter, the metro or an app car.
  • India ↗Carry Indian rupees in small notes (10, 20, 50, 100); change for 500 is often refused.
  • India ↗Parts of the Northeast, Sikkim, Ladakh, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and all border belts need a Protected or Restricted Area Permit or an Inner Line Permit for foreigners; check before you book the route.

Entry rules depend on your passport. Full visa guide

Watch out

Safety

Wardha is a small, low-crime city and safe for tourists by day; the real risks are summer heat above 40 °C (104 °F), unlit roads out to Sevagram after dark and rickshaw drivers quoting no meter — agree the fare before you get in.
  • Summer temperatures can exceed 40 °C (104 °F); carry water.
  • Roads to Sevagram are narrow; use a driver familiar with the route.
