Geography & terrain

Ramtek lies in the Nagpur district of Maharashtra, 55 km from Nagpur and 90 km from Pench — the temple hill of the region, its Ram temple, the lakes and the hill lanes set on the Ramtek hill.

History & culture

The town's story runs with the 18th-century temple era — the temple town of the 18th-century Ram temple and the Raghuji Bhonsle's 1771-era seat, with the town's modern role as the pilgrimage of the Nagpur circuit and the home of the 1771-era temple and the Lakshmana temple and the 2 lakes; the town's history of the 17th-century Rangmahal and the Kalidas's legend and the hill steps, gives Ramtek its temple-hill character.
