Amravati district

Amravati is an administrative district in central Maharashtra positioned between the Wardha River and Tapti River with varied geographical features. The district divides into six administrative subdivisions and fourteen talukas, with Amravati city serving as the main administrative seat.

The territory came under British East India Company control in 1853 through a treaty with the Nizam of Hyderabad as Berar Province. This colonial period shaped the administrative framework and infrastructure that remain partly visible today.

Marathi serves as the main language of daily life, while Urdu and Korku are spoken by smaller communities. This linguistic diversity shapes local traditions and how people interact across the district.

The district is best explored by road, connecting major towns and smaller settlements through the region. Visitors should use local guides or tourism offices to access remote areas and wildlife reserves effectively.

The Melghat Tiger Reserve within the district protects Bengal tigers and hosts a notable population of these rare big cats. The area offers walkers and nature enthusiasts chances to explore its forested mountain terrain.
