Hingoli, India

Capital City

It's a sleepy municipal council with a population of just 85,103. Over half the residents speak Marathi as their first language, with Hindi and Urdu also widely used. While the literacy rate is a decent 87.53%, nearly 14% of the population is under 6 years old. Bureaucracy is a persistent headache, with an array of temples and shrines that tourists may find interesting. For those seeking an authentic, provincial Indian experience, Hingoli could be a reasonable option, but it offers little in the way of modern amenities or employment opportunities.
