Cavalry Tank Museum

Unusual armoured-vehicle museum in Ahmednagar with tanks from several armies and eras.

The Cavalry Tank Museum is one of Ahmednagar's most distinctive sights: an open-air collection of armoured vehicles maintained by the Indian Army's Armoured Corps Centre and School. The displays range across British, German, American, Soviet, and Indian machines, turning a cantonment town into an unexpectedly good stop for anyone interested in twentieth-century military history.

It is not a polished metropolitan museum, and that is part of its appeal. The tanks sit in the Maharashtra sun with straightforward labels and plenty of room to walk around them, so you can study the scale, tracks, turrets, and rough engineering details up close. Bring water and avoid the hottest part of the afternoon.
