Q: Do you have any sightseeing recommendations?
Urvashi Sharma: One can see a pillar erected at the Zero Mile site. Nagpur is precisely at the geographical centre-point of India and the Zero Mile marker is located here. About six kilometres from the main city is the Ambazari lake spread over 15 sq km. The lake and the picturesque Ambazari Garden right next to it are definitely worth visiting. Boating in the lake is a sheer delight.
