Dharampeth is one of Nagpur’s most popular neighbourhoods for an evening out, a lively area of cafés, restaurants, coaching institutes and colleges in the west of the city. Its streets around Shankar Nagar Square, Gokulpeth market and West High Court Road are busy from morning until late, and it is a short ride to Futala Lake. For Myra members, Dharampeth is the most natural place in Nagpur for a first coffee, because it is central, safe and full of choice. Introductions here often include people from Shankar Nagar, Ram Nagar, Gokulpeth, Bajaj Nagar and Ravi Nagar. The neighbourhood also has a strong local food culture, from tarri poha stalls in the morning to famous snack shops in the evening, so a first date can easily become a small food walk. Weekday evenings are lively but manageable, while weekends are busier. If you would like a calmer setting, a morning coffee in one of the quieter lanes is a good alternative, and the lake is close by for a walk afterwards. It is one of Nagpur’s oldest planned residential areas.

Good to know
