Gadchiroli was a subdivision of the erstwhile district of Chandrapur and was carved out as a separate district of the state on 26th August, 1982. The district is located in the north-eastern part of the state bordering Durg, Rajnandgaon of newly created Chhattisgarh State on the east, Chandrapur on the west, Bhandara on the north and Karim Nagar, Adilabad of Andra Pradesh & Jagdalpur(Chhattisgarh State) on the South.The district is categorized as Tribal and undeveloped district and most of the land is covered with forest and hills. The main river basin of the district is Godavari which borders the southern boundary of the district and flows west to East. Due to proximity towards Andhra Pradesh and Chhattisgarh it is worst affected by Naxalites taking shelters in the dense forest & hills of this district. The District Head-quarter is situated at Gadchiroli which is 180 Kms away from Nagpur and 80 Kms away from Chandrapur and 200 Km from Bhandara. The prime visiting places in Gadchiroli are: Shiv Temple at Markanda (Ta-. Chamorshi), Hanuman Temple at Chaprala (Ta- Chamorshi) and Markanda etc.
