Dating in Nagpur: first dates and weekend trips
Updated · by the SwipeTrip team
Nagpur sits in the middle of India and has some of its hottest summers, so dates here follow the clock: lakeside evenings, late dinners of fiery saoji food and cool winter mornings. Some of the country's best-known tiger reserves are only a few hours away, which makes a first trip together feel like a real adventure.

First-date tips for Nagpur
- Respect the summer: April to June can be fierce. Meet after sunset at a lake, or indoors in the afternoon.
- Winter is the best season: From November to February the weather is cool and the city's oranges are in season. That's the time for long walks and day trips.
- Ask about spice: Saoji curries are famously hot. Ask before you order, and keep tarri poha for a lighter breakfast date.
- Use the Metro where you can: Nagpur's Metro reaches Sitabuldi and many central areas, which makes getting there and home on your own simple.
